Sleep disorders are the conditions of obstructed or lack of restful and uninterrupted sleep. These disorders can greatly disrupt one’s mental, emotional, and physical health. Some of the common sleep disorders are insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy.
These disorders may stem from sleep hygiene, stress, anxiety, depression, certain medical conditions, or lifestyle choices. Gurpartap Singh Sandhu conducts a rigorous assessment to determine the causes and create an appropriate treatment strategy.
Diagnosis will mark the first step in the treatment pathway. Usually, a mixture of CBT-I, relaxation techniques, medication, along with proper sleep hygiene and stress management, and lifestyle modifications will be employed.
CBT-I is a program that reshapes sleep-related thoughts and actions to reverse its adverse effects. It is a medication free treatment and evidence based, making it an effective solution for insomnia.
It can be prescribed in certain scenarios, but is not an absolute cure. Therapy and lifestyle modifications are the first lines of treatment that Gurpartap Singh Sandhu will take. If absolutely necessary, a personalized medication plan will be developed.
The estimate for results relies heavily on the condition's severity and the therapy method selected. Some patients begin to notice changes in improvement within a few weeks of therapy commencement, while a few others may take longer to notice substantial changes.
Though there may be some disorders which are irreversible, all are manageable. The focus is on enabling sleep, improving rest, and advancing the quality of life.
Gurpartap Singh Sandhu is available to assist with sleep hygiene, which encompasses a fixed sleep and wake time, cutting stimulants such as caffeine some hours prior to sleep, as well as calming pre-sleep routines.
