The strategies help reset a patient’s sleep patterns, tackling insomnia from its root rather than masking symptoms.
Fremont, CA: Insomnia, a common sleep disorder affecting millions of people worldwide, disrupts natural sleep, leading to difficulties falling or staying asleep. Over time, chronic insomnia can have profound effects on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The treatment offers patients a comprehensive solution, addressing not only the symptoms of insomnia but also its underlying causes. A personalized approach ensures that sleep therapy addresses the full scope of a patient’s insomnia, leading to more effective and lasting results. Sleep therapy is essential for insomnia patients because it addresses the symptoms and root causes of the condition.
Sleep medications often come with side effects, including drowsiness during the day, memory issues, or even addiction, which can further complicate a patient’s health. Sleep therapy empowers patients to develop skills and habits that promote natural and restorative sleep without relying on medications. Studies have shown that CBT-I, for example, has long-term benefits, with many patients experiencing sustained improvements in their sleep patterns even months or years after treatment. It is mainly because sleep therapy teaches patients self-management techniques they can use for life rather than relying on external aids to fall asleep.
