Insomnia Causes

Insomnia is a very common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep, hard to stay asleep, or cause you to wake up too early and not be able to get back to sleep. You may still feel tired when you wake up. It can sap your energy level, and affect your mood, your health, your work performance, and your quality of life.

How much sleep is enough varies from person to person, but most adults need six to eight hours a night.

Do you suffer from insomnia?

Seprator our mission - Nancy Knechal - eSleepWellness

We offer individualized management using the only scientifically proven non-medication treatment: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I is recommended by the American College of Physicians, the European Sleep Research Society, and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as the first line treatment for insomnia.

Do you lie awake on average 30 minutes or longer before falling asleep?

Yes No

Do you lie awake during the night on average for at least 30 min?

Yes No

Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep 3 nights a week or more?

Yes No

Does your difficulty sleeping affect you during the day (fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, decreased productivity, decreased performance, etc.)?

Yes No

You meet criteria for an insomnia diagnosis. You will benefit greatly from CBT-I treatment.

Request Appointment

You have characteristics suggesting you have, or are in the process of, developing insomnia. CBT-I can reverse these characteristics and prevent the development of clinically diagnosable insomnia.

Request Appointment

It is unlikely you have insomnia. However, if you sleep less than 6 hours at night, wake up earlier in the morning than you’d like (and can’t fall back to sleep), or you worry about your sleep before going to bed, you have signs that make you high risk for developing insomnia. You should consider intervention to prevent clinically diagnosable insomnia.
