Effective Treatments for Sleep Disorders

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Cause Insomnia (CBT-I)

As a first-line treatment recommended according to The Australian Academy of Sleep Medicine, Cognitive behavioural therapy in the treatment of sleep disorders (CBT-I) is extremely efficient for those suffering from insomnia. This treatment helps you recognise and alter your behaviour that can adversely affect sleep, including practices for relaxation as well as sleep restrictions, as well as encouraging you to keep a sleeping journal to monitor how you are doing.

Medication and Pharmacotherapy for Poor Sleep

If a combination of cognitive and behavioural therapy isn't enough for you, medications can be prescribed. Hypnotic medicines are often utilised to treat insomnia. However, they must be handled with care because of the potential for adverse effects and dependence risks. Prime Medic provides a thorough review to make sure that these drugs are safe and appropriate for the conditions you face.

Guided Sleep Meditation for Better Sleep

The practice of meditation for sleep, especially guided meditation for sleep, is extremely beneficial. Relaxation techniques can help to calm your mind, decrease anxiety, and help ease your body into a peaceful sleep. Regular meditation can dramatically improve your sleep quality and help you fall asleep faster when sleep disturbances occur.

Sleep issues occur at least three times per week for 3 months or more. Contrary to short-term sleeplessness, the chronic condition of insomnia in adults could have severe consequences for long-term health and lead to an increased risk of developing hypertension, diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Even accidents caused by an excessive level of daytime sleepiness.

Risk Factors and Associated Conditions of long-term Insomnia

• Mental health disorders (anxiety, depression)
  
• Chronic pain conditions
  
• Neurological diseases like Parkinson’s disease
  
• Lifestyle factors (shift work, poor sleep habits)
  
• Medical conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea
  

Prime Medic TeleHealth Consultation offers comprehensive evaluations to rule out other sleep disorders through sleep studies in dedicated clinical sleep labs when necessary.

The amount of sleep needed varies by individual, but adults generally require between 7 and 9 hours per night. Older adults may experience insomnia due to changes in their circadian rhythm and may need slightly less sleep, though quality remains essential.
