Insomnia
What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and being unable to go back to sleep. It can lead to fatigue, irritability, and reduced focus during the day. Our insomnia treatments include referring for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and personalized strategies to address the root causes, so you can enjoy restful nights and productive days.
How is Insomnia Diagnosed?
Diagnosing insomnia involves understanding your sleep patterns, lifestyle, and overall health. At Valley Sleep and Wellness Center, we begin with a detailed evaluation, including a discussion of your sleep history, daily habits, and any factors contributing to your sleep difficulties. In some cases, we may recommend a sleep study to rule out underlying conditions such as sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome. By thoroughly assessing your situation, we can pinpoint the root causes of your insomnia and develop a plan that’s right for you.
How is Insomnia Treated?
Treating insomnia requires a personalized approach tailored to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is one of the most effective treatments, helping you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors affecting your sleep. In addition, relaxation techniques, sleep hygiene education, and stress management strategies are often incorporated into the treatment plan. For some individuals, short-term use of medication may be recommended to help establish a healthier sleep routine while addressing the underlying causes.
Why is Treating Insomnia Important?
Chronic insomnia can have significant effects on your physical health, emotional well-being, and daily productivity. Left untreated, it increases the risk of conditions such as heart disease, depression, and diabetes. Beyond health concerns, insomnia can interfere with your ability to focus, make decisions, and enjoy life to the fullest. At Valley Sleep and Wellness Center, we’re committed to helping you reclaim restful nights and vibrant days by addressing insomnia at its source.
