Request an AppointmentUnderstanding Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can be either short-term (acute) or chronic. It is often a symptom of an underlying issue, such as stress, anxiety, depression, certain medical conditions, or lifestyle factors like poor sleep habits. Instead of just prescribing a sleeping pill, our goal is to find the root cause of your insomnia so we can provide a long-lasting solution.
Our Multi-Faceted Treatment Approach
Our evaluation will begin with a thorough consultation to review your medical history, sleep habits, and daily routine. We may recommend a polysomnography (sleep study) to rule out other sleep disorders like sleep apnea that could be contributing to your insomnia. Your customized treatment plan may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): A highly effective, non-drug therapy that helps you identify and change thoughts and behaviors that are preventing you from sleeping.
- Sleep Hygiene Education: Guidance on creating a healthy sleep environment and establishing a consistent sleep schedule.
- Medication: Used judiciously and often as a temporary solution to help you reset your sleep cycle.

FAQs About Insomnia
Q: What is the difference between acute and chronic insomnia?
A: Acute insomnia is short-term and can last from a few days to a few weeks, often caused by a stressful life event. Chronic insomnia is defined as having trouble sleeping at least three nights a week for three months or longer.
Q: What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)?
A: CBT-I is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I addresses the root cause of your insomnia, providing long-term relief.
Q: How can I improve my sleep at home?
A: We recommend a few key sleep hygiene practices. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Make your bedroom a sanctuary for sleep—dark, quiet, and cool. Avoid electronic devices, caffeine, and alcohol for at least a few hours before bedtime.
