Who Is a Candidate for Treatment?
Individuals who consistently struggle to fall asleep our night, often lying awake for 30 minutes or more, are candidates for evaluation. This difficulty initiating sleep can be a primary symptom that professional treatment can address.
Those who frequently wake up during the night and find it difficult to return to sleep may benefit from treatment. This pattern, known as poor sleep maintenance, disrupts restorative sleep cycles and can be effectively managed.
People who regularly wake up much earlier than intended and cannot fall back asleep are also strong candidates. This can lead to a significant deficit in total sleep time, impacting overall health.
If your sleep issues result in daytime consequences like fatigue, irritability, or trouble concentrating, it is a clear sign to seek professional help. Treatment aims to not only improve sleep but also restore daytime function and quality of life.
