Insomnia Treatment for Deeper, More Restful Sleep
Get to the root of sleepless nights. We treat insomnia and the mental health conditions behind it so you can sleep, think and feel better.
What is insomnia?
Insomnia is persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking too early, despite having the opportunity to sleep, along with daytime problems like fatigue, irritability or poor concentration.
Short-term insomnia often follows stress or life changes. Chronic insomnia occurs at least three nights a week for three months or more.
Insomnia is closely linked with mental health. It can be a symptom of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or ADHD, and poor sleep can also worsen those conditions. Treating both sleep and mental health together leads to the best results.
