Unlock Better Sleep: Integrative Treatments for Insomnia and Well-Being

When you are an insomniac, you may have a hard time falling asleep. You may also have difficulties staying that way. There may be frequent awakenings, and you tend to wake up too early and not be able to fall asleep again. So, the sleep you get is often of a very poor quality. Now, when “acute” insomnia occurs at least three times per week for a minimum of three months, it is deemed “chronic” insomnia. Fewer than 10% of insomniacs have the chronic form of this condition. 

As with all conditions managed at our center in Stamford, we must first understand the underlying cause of your persistent sleep challenges. Our providers simply cannot treat what they do not understand. So, we have naturally prioritized a range of assessments, testing, and diagnostic tools. Integrative providers are known for their substantive initial evaluations. In fact, during the first visit, we encourage patients to set aside at least 90 minutes. We do not rush getting to know you and your needs. Depending on what we find, your insomnia may be deemed primary (not connected to existing medical, psychiatric, or environmental sources) or secondary to other factors/conditions (associated with medical or mental illnesses and other sleep disorders). The best course of action depends on your diagnosis and the nature of your sleep disturbances.
