Sleep Disorder Treatment in Kurukshetra — When Sleeplessness Becomes a Medical Problem

A few bad nights are normal. But weeks of lying awake, waking repeatedly, or waking completely unrested are a medical issue that deserves medical attention — not another cup of warm milk.

Often LinkedSleep problems frequently occur alongside depression, anxiety, and chronic pain — treating the underlying condition helps

Sleep Problems We Treat

Not all sleep problems are the same — accurate assessment guides the right treatment.

🌙
Insomnia

Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and being unable to return to sleep. The most common sleep disorder.

😴
Hypersomnia

Excessive daytime sleepiness despite adequate or excessive night-time sleep. Significantly affects work and daily functioning.

😟
Sleep disturbance from depression or anxiety

Very common. The mood disorder disrupts sleep — and the sleep disruption worsens the mood disorder. A two-way relationship.

Disrupted sleep patterns

Shift workers, jet lag, or circadian rhythm disorders — the body clock is out of sync with the environment.

😬
Behavioural insomnia

Learned sleep behaviours and thoughts that perpetuate sleeplessness — the most common cause of chronic insomnia in adults.

Treatment

How We Treat Sleep Problems

Treatment targets the specific cause — not just the symptom.

01
CBT-I — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia

The most effective long-term treatment for chronic insomnia. Targets the thoughts and behaviours that perpetuate sleeplessness. More effective than sleeping tablets in the long run — with no side effects and lasting results.

02
Sleep Restriction Therapy

A paradoxical but highly effective CBT-I technique — temporarily restricting time in bed to consolidate sleep, then gradually extending it as sleep efficiency improves.

03
Medication

Short-term sleep medication when appropriate, or treatment of underlying depression or anxiety where these are driving the sleep problem. Carefully chosen and monitored.

04
Sleep Hygiene Guidance

Evidence-based practical advice — not generic tips. Dr. Sobti identifies the specific behaviours and patterns that are maintaining your insomnia.

💡

A note on sleeping tablets: While helpful in the short term, long-term sleeping tablet use often worsens insomnia. CBT-I addresses the root cause rather than masking it.

FAQs

Sleep Disorders — Common Questions

I have taken sleeping tablets for years. Can I stop?
+
Yes — but it requires a structured tapering plan, which Dr. Sobti will help you develop. Stopping abruptly can cause rebound insomnia. With the right support, most patients successfully reduce their medication and achieve natural sleep.
I sleep 8 hours but wake up exhausted. Is this a psychiatric issue?
+
It may be. Hypersomnia, sleep apnoea (though this requires ENT/respiratory assessment), or depression can all cause unrefreshing sleep despite adequate duration. A full assessment will determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
Can stress alone cause insomnia?
+
Yes — acute stress is the most common trigger for insomnia. The problem is that insomnia often continues after the stressor is resolved because of learned behaviours. This is called conditioned insomnia and is exactly what CBT-I is designed to treat.
