Things I Hear from People Struggling with Insomnia
If you often have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, you may be experiencing clinical levels of insomnia. We all have a rough night of sleep once in a while. And sometimes life keeps us up for a good reason, like writing a paper, feeding a baby, or stargazing. This is different. Insomnia is persistent, sometimes cyclical, and often tormenting.
Insomnia is persistent, exhausting, and often misunderstood.
This isn't just one bad night's sleep
You can learn to sleep again
There’s great non-medication treatment for insomnia. The program I use provides a lot of structure, but I like to keep things flexible. If you have other things going on we can split our time between topics when we need to. Some people have also tried “everything” before coming to me, even doing their own research. I’ll skip things that you already know and focus on what you need.
If you've tried everything, we'll skip the basics and focus on what makes sense for you
Your sleep will improve!
There’s a very good chance that your sleep will improve: you will probably sleep for more hours each night, feel more rested in the morning, and be able to quickly cope with setbacks if you have a rough night. You’ll build confidence in your ability to deal with stressors that right now feel like threats to your sleep.
With the right support, rest won’t feel so fragile or out of reach
Looking for more?
I use the first-line treatment Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. Care lasts about 4-8 sessions. Because there are links between sleep and other parts of our life, addressing insomnia can sometimes segue to addressing other concerns. In my experience, once your sleep is improved you may want to continue in care, but that’s up to you.
