Condition
Online Insomnia Treatment
Treating why you aren't sleeping, not only prescribing something to knock you out.
Does this sound familiar?
- Lying awake for an hour or more at bedtime
- Waking at 3am and not getting back to sleep
- Waking exhausted no matter how long you were in bed
- Dreading bedtime
- Relying on alcohol or over-the-counter sleep aids
- Daytime fog, irritability or difficulty concentrating
You don't need to meet every one of these, and you don't need to be certain before booking. Working out what's going on is what the evaluation is for.
Insomnia is usually a symptom of something else
Persistent insomnia rarely stands alone. Anxiety, depression, untreated ADHD, perimenopause, chronic pain, sleep apnea, alcohol and several common medications all disrupt sleep — and a sedative prescribed without looking for those leaves the cause running.
Because this practice covers psychiatric and primary care together, the search for the cause doesn't require a second appointment somewhere else.
What treatment can involve
- A real sleep history, including what you have already tried
- Screening for sleep apnea, thyroid problems and the medications that commonly disrupt sleep
- CBT-I techniques — the behavioral approach that outperforms medication long term
- Treating the anxiety, depression or hormonal change underneath, where that's the driver
- Medication where appropriate, with a plan for how long it's needed
You don't have to wait months
Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, and there is no referral or waitlist. If you are ready to be seen, the usual barrier — a three-month wait for a first appointment — isn't one here.

Insomnia: common questions
- Will you just prescribe a sleeping pill?
- Not as a first move. Sedatives can help short term, but they don't treat the cause and several carry dependency risk. Behavioral treatment for insomnia has better long-term evidence than medication.
- Could this be sleep apnea?
- Possibly, and it's worth ruling out — especially with snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing or waking unrefreshed. We can arrange testing.
- I only sleep badly during perimenopause. Is that related?
- Very likely. Sleep disruption is one of the most common and least discussed perimenopausal symptoms, and treating the hormonal change often resolves it.
