Sleep or Insomnia

We offer the best service for you ;)

S
leep is an amazing and mysterious thing in our lives. When we sleep well, we wake refreshed. And yet when sleep is disrupted for a week, or sometimes a month, the brain can take the insomnia as the new normal.

Here the bio-psychosocial model is powerful for understanding how to restore healthy sleep.

Biological answers for sleep can include: exercise, deep breathing, and meditation techniques. I have a three-step meditation method that takes three minutes to learn and 30 seconds to start working. More than half the people using this say their sleep is at least 10% better because of this alone.

Psychological answers for sleep can include basic stress management skills during the day to help reduce nervous tension. I go over the use of pet therapy, plant therapy, aromatherapy, and other alternative health strategies.

Social answers for sleep can include communication skills so that people feel connected to their friends. A big cause of insomnia is people feeling lonely and disconnected from their friends and community.

If insomnia persists even with all these skills, a sleep medication can be tried. I go over the ``over-the-counter medications`` and supplements that are available. If those fail, then I can prescribe traditional sleep medication.
