What is insomnia?
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterised by the inability to get asleep or stay asleep. This condition goes beyond occasional sleep disturbances and can significantly impact an individual's overall health. Psychological factors, such as stress, anxiety, or depression, often play a significant role. The demands of modern lifestyles, including work-related stressors and the constant technological connectivity, can exacerbate these psychological drivers of insomnia.
External factors like night shifts or irregular work schedules can also disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythm, making it challenging for individuals to establish a consistent sleep pattern. Understanding the specific drivers of insomnia is crucial for developing effective interventions.

How can I treat poor-quality sleep?
While restless nights may seem unavoidable, your environment and nighttime habits have a significant impact on your quality of sleep. Optimising your sleep routine and building healthy habits is key for combating restlessness.
Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi) is a widely recognised approach that addresses the psychological aspects of the condition. Lifestyle modifications, such as establishing a consistent sleep routine, creating a conducive sleep environment, and managing stress through relaxation techniques, can also contribute to improved sleep quality.

FAQS
Your questions answered
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can make it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get enough restful sleep. It can cause a range of problems, including daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. There are many causes of insomnia including stress, anxiety, pain, depression, medical conditions, medications, poor sleep habits, and lifestyle changes. Your risk increases as you age.
The symptoms of insomnia vary from person to person but they may include:
Difficulty falling asleep
Difficulty staying asleep
Waking up too early in the morning and being unable to fall back asleep
Not feeling rested after a night of sleep
Waking up several times in the night
Daytime fatigue
Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Mood swings
There are several treatments for insomnia, including:
Prescription medications: Prescribed sleep aids may help you to reset your natural sleep cycle. They should only be used short term.
Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBTi): This is a type of therapy that helps you identify and change the thoughts and behaviours that contribute to insomnia.
Supplements: Containing ingredients linked to sleep and relaxation, supplements can be a good addition to your nighttime routine.
As part of our online consultation, you’ll be asked about any medications or treatments that you’re currently taking. Our clinicians will then review which treatment you’re most suited to based on your circumstances.
Our treatments combat both short-term and long-term sleep disturbances. People who are jet lagged or working night shifts might benefit from some of our solutions for better sleep.
You can’t take prescription sleep medications on a long-term basis. Instead, these medications should be used short-term, to help you reset your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. Supplements such as CBD and Sleep Supplement are natural sleep aids that can be used long term. Alongside your treatment, we provide a programme based on the principles of CBTi to help you conquer insomnia for good.
Some sleep medications, such as melatonin and promethazine, require a prescription. Following your online consultation, our clinicians will prescribe treatment, if appropriate.
Sleep supplements are non-prescription, natural sleep aids.
Lack of sleep can cause stress, impaired judgement, reduced productivity, fatigue, and low energy levels. Over time, chronic insomnia can lead to more serious consequences including immunodeficiencies, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental health disorders.
The amount of sleep needed varies from person to person but most adults need between seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
Our detailed online consultation covers lifestyle, medical history, and individual needs. This will help our clinicians to determine the best course of action to optimise your sleep.
