Insomnia
Structured evaluation for difficulty falling or staying asleep, looked at alongside the neurological and cognitive picture rather than in isolation.
What it is
Insomnia means regular difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early, with daytime effects on mood, concentration, or energy. It can stand alone or sit alongside pain, anxiety, or neurological conditions, which is why a structured evaluation looks at sleep in context rather than offering a generic sleep-hygiene handout.
Common symptoms & concerns
- Regular difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Waking earlier than intended and unable to get back to sleep
- Non-restorative sleep despite adequate time in bed
- Daytime fatigue, poor concentration, or irritability
- Sleep disruption alongside pain, anxiety, or other symptoms
Assessment & care
Assessment approach
Assessment covers sleep history, pattern, and contributing factors, including any related neurological or psychiatric symptoms, so recommendations address the underlying picture rather than sleep in isolation.
In-scope care
In-scope care includes structured sleep assessment and coordination with the relevant specialty, whether that's neurology, psychiatry, or pain management, based on what the assessment shows.
How we treat it
Sleep studies where needed, a structured sleep programme, CES, and classical Ayurvedic therapies like Shirodhara and Nasya, coordinated around your sleep.
