What are sleep disorders?
Sleep disorders are conditions that affect the quality of your sleep and how much sleep you get each night. Our therapists and psychiatrists can help you overcome chronic sleep problems to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Rest isn’t indulgent. It’s fundamental.

Common signs of sleep disorders.
Our team will review details about your life, including your job, relationships, diet, exercise, and more to help uncover the root cause of your sleep disorder. Without completing a formal sleep study, you may already suspect signs of a specific sleep disorder.

How are sleeping disorders treated?
To help you fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night, our team at Healthy Minds NYC may recommend a treatment plan that combines different approaches
Medications
Sleeping pills and supplements can help regulate your sleep cycle and calm restless legs. If you have difficulty breathing during the night, you might need medications to keep your nasal passages open and clear.
CPAP Therapy
If you have sleep apnea, a continuous positive airway pressure machine can supply a stream of pressurized air through a mask you wear during sleep to keep your airways open.
Lifestyle Changes
Changing your diet and exercise can help with your sleep quality. Our team may suggest interventions like avoiding caffeine or alcohol to help you rest. We may also explore stress reduction techniques, like breathing exercises, to address the stressors that impact your sleep and overall health.
