Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have a sleep disorder?
If you experience persistent difficulties sleeping, feel tired during the day despite getting sleep, or if those around you notice problems like intense snoring, it's possible you might have a disorder. During a consultation, we can properly evaluate your situation.
What types of sleep disorders do you manage?
In my practice, I diagnose and treat various disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and other issues that affect the quality of your rest. Each case is approached individually.
Does treatment always involve medication?
Not necessarily. My approach is comprehensive. We consider options such as sleep hygiene, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and, only when appropriate and necessary, pharmacotherapy. The plan is tailored to you.
How long does it take to see improvement?
The response to treatment varies considerably from person to person and depends on the type of disorder. Some people may feel improvements within weeks with habit changes, while others may require more time and adjustments to the plan. Consistency is key.
What should I do before the first consultation?
I suggest trying to keep a log of your sleep patterns (bedtime/wake-up times, awakenings, level of tiredness) for a few days. This can provide valuable information for a more accurate initial assessment. Don't worry if you don't; we'll discuss it during your appointment.
Is my sleep disorder related to anxiety or depression?
Yes, there is frequently a bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and conditions like anxiety or depression. Managing one condition often helps improve the other, and in my practice, we address this interconnection as part of your overall mental health.
