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.
Not all sleep problems are the same — accurate assessment guides the right treatment.
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and being unable to return to sleep. The most common sleep disorder.
Excessive daytime sleepiness despite adequate or excessive night-time sleep. Significantly affects work and daily functioning.
Very common. The mood disorder disrupts sleep — and the sleep disruption worsens the mood disorder. A two-way relationship.
Shift workers, jet lag, or circadian rhythm disorders — the body clock is out of sync with the environment.
Learned sleep behaviours and thoughts that perpetuate sleeplessness — the most common cause of chronic insomnia in adults.
Treatment targets the specific cause — not just the symptom.
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.
A paradoxical but highly effective CBT-I technique — temporarily restricting time in bed to consolidate sleep, then gradually extending it as sleep efficiency improves.
Short-term sleep medication when appropriate, or treatment of underlying depression or anxiety where these are driving the sleep problem. Carefully chosen and monitored.
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.
