How are sleep disorders treated?

There are a variety of treatments recommended by healthcare providers:

• Counseling: Some sleep specialists recommend cognitive behavior therapy. Such counseling helps you “recognize, challenge and change stress-inducing thoughts” that can keep you awake at night.
• Medications and/or supplements.
• Practice sleep hygiene such as keeping a regular sleep schedule.
• Get regular exercise.
• Minimize noise.
• Minimize light.
• Manage the temperature so that you’re comfortable.

Your healthcare provider will recommend treatments based on your unique situation.
