Are you having trouble falling or staying asleep? Do you wake up still feeling tired and unrefreshed? If so, you might be suffering from insomnia!
​
Insomnia is defined as the inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, and/or waking up early in the morning.  It can lead to fatigue, lack of concentration, irritability, anxiety, learning disabilities, and depression. 

There are many possible causes of insomnia:
  • Stress, Anxiety, Depression
  • Hormone imbalances: menopause, pregnancy
  • Medications
  • Travel
  • Shift work
  • Chronic pain
  • GERD
  • Caffeine
  • Sleep apnea
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Poor sleep hygiene 

Naturopathic doctors are highly trained to identify the possible factors contributing to insomnia, and once the cause or causes are identified, a safe and effective individualized treatment plan will be given.  This may include stress management techniques, correcting hormone imbalances, acupuncture, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, botanicals to help balance the sleep-wake cycle, and homeopathy.
