Sleep Disorder
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sleeping disorders refer to various conditions disrupting normal sleep patterns, causing difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restful sleep. I'd assist someone struggling with sleeping disorders by initially evaluating the underlying factors contributing to their sleep disturbances. We'd explore any emotional disturbances, trauma-related triggers, or relationship issues affecting their sleep quality. Employing techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, we'd address negative thought patterns and behaviors hindering sleep. Moreover, I'd guide them in developing relaxation techniques, stress management strategies, and healthy sleep habits. By tackling underlying emotional and relational issues while promoting healthier sleep habits, the goal is to help them achieve better sleep and enhance overall well-being.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sleep disorders can significantly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, insomnia can worsen mood swings and decrease the ability to cope with stress, potentially exacerbating symptoms of depression. To support someone struggling with this problem, I would focus on identifying underlying causes of sleep disturbances and implementing lifestyle changes to promote better sleep hygiene. This may involve creating a consistent bedtime routine, reducing caffeine intake, and practicing relaxation techniques.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., DBSM
We help people with insomnia overcome the thoughts and behaviors that keep them awake at night, including anxiety or worries, which are often experienced as “my brain won’t shut off." Research has shown that chronic problems with sleep can lead to symptoms of depression and worsen anxiety as well as exacerbate medical issues. Drs. Kessler has Diplomate status in behavioral sleep medicine (DBSM), specialized training in treating insomnia with CBT-I, which is a non-medication approach that has been shown to be effective in treating insomnia in over 80% of cases.
CBT-I: Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) helps people change their thoughts and behaviors about sleep. CBT-I is a short-term, evidence-based treatment that can help people with insomnia improve their sleep quality and get more restful sleep. In many cases it can also help you get more sleep.
CBT-I typically involves multiple components. You will work with your therapist on each of these as needed, individualized to your sleep issues, with most people seeing significant improvement in 3 to 6 visits.
