Sleep disorders
Sleep is essential for nearly every aspect of health. It plays a key role in healthy brain function, metabolic regulation, immunity, and the body’s natural repair and recovery processes. Not getting enough good-quality sleep over time can affect concentration, memory, energy levels, and day-to-day functioning. It is also associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain mental health conditions. I evaluate and treat a wide range of sleep disorders, with a special focus on chronic insomnia.
Long-term improvement when it comes to sleep takes time and no two patients are the same. Lifestyle, daily routine, medical history, and the factors contributing to sleep problems vary from person to person. For this reason, every treatment plan is always tailored to the individual. Depending on your needs, it may include cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), lifestyle modifications, medication use, further evaluation and testing, or referral to another specialist.
A consultation may be helpful if you experience:
- difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early
- excessive daytime sleepiness
- sleep that does not leave you feeling refreshed
- snoring or suspected obstructive sleep apnea
- long-term use of prescription sleep medication and the need to review/modify treatment
The consultation does not replace urgent medical care.
