Sleep disorders - Insomnia



1. Initial Assessment: The practitioner begins by conducting a thorough assessment of the individual's medical history, sleep habits, sleep patterns, and stressors. This may include questionnaires, sleep diaries, and interviews to better understand the nature and severity of the sleep disorder.
2. Sleep Hygiene Education: The practitioner provides guidance and recommendations on healthy sleep hygiene practices, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, creating a sleep-friendly environment, avoiding stimulants before bedtime, limiting daytime naps, and practicing relaxation before bed.
3. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I): CBT-I is a therapeutic approach that aims to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to insomnia. The practitioner helps the individual recognize and challenge negative thoughts about sleep, as well as adopt behaviors and routines that promote sleep.
4. Stress and Anxiety Management: The practitioner helps the individual identify and manage stressors and anxiety that can disrupt sleep. This may include learning acupressure and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, guided visualization, and mindfulness.
5. Treating underlying health problems: If the sleep disorder is caused by an underlying health problem, such as sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, or chronic pain, the practitioner may recommend appropriate medical treatment in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
