How Are You Sleeping?

How are you sleeping? This is a question that may not be often asked, yet the answer certainly weighs on our mind and affects our daily life. Sleep is an important component of wellness. When we feel that we don't get enough of good quality sleep, we may be tired, in a bad mood, lack energy, or make poor decisions.  

Understanding the components of sleep is essential to getting adequate rest. Did you know that you may be spending too much time in bed? Did you know that you might actually be trying too hard to sleep or that wearing sunglasses during the day could affect how well you sleep? 

There are multiple factors that contribute to sleeping habits and problems. These include medical, psychological, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive components.  

Learn how to change habits and explore options for improving your sleep. There is a life without sleeping pills available to you.  

In my practice, I am now offering treatment for insomnia using the preferred method for treating this sleeping problem- Cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). 

This can be used as part of therapy, or as a stand alone service (5 sessions over 6 weeks). For more information about this program, head on over to my website and start on the path to a good night's sleep.
