What causes sleep problems?

You can experience sleep problems if you have physical, mental, or emotional issues that interfere with how much sleep you get. You can also have a sleep disorder like:

Insomnia

Insomnia describes difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night.

When should I seek medical care for sleep problems?

Schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Peak Interactive Wellness if you experience frequent or excessive daytime sleepiness that interferes with your ability to meet your responsibilities. 

You can also benefit from a diagnostic evaluation if you have symptoms like:

  • Loud snoring
  • Mood swings
  • Depression
  • Difficulties falling asleep
  • Walking frequently during the night

The providers may request a sleep study to assess your vital signs, breathing, and movements while you sleep. They also complete a physical exam and review your medical history to identify health issues that may interfere with sleep.

How are sleep problems treated?

The Peak Interactive Wellness team may recommend cognitive behavioral therapy to help you recognize intrusive thoughts and stress that keep you awake at night. The team recommends changes you can make to enhance your sleep quality, including:

  • Following a consistent bedtime schedule
  • Turning off electronics at least an hour before bed
  • Eating a healthy diet and exercising daily
  • Practice stress reduction techniques

If therapy and lifestyle changes aren’t enough, the team can prescribe medications to ease restless leg symptoms and regulate your sleep cycles.
