Sleep Disorders

We are a virtual clinic licensed in Texas, New York, California, Washington, New Mexico, and Iowa, offering comprehensive treatment for sleep disorders.

If you or someone you know is grappling with sleep-related challenges, understanding more about these disorders can be the first step toward achieving restful nights and revitalized days.

A sleep disorder refers to any condition that disrupts the normal sleep pattern, impacting the ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or experience restorative sleep. These disorders can manifest in various ways, ranging from difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep to abnormal behaviors during sleep.

What is a Sleep Disorder

Sleep disorders are conditions that interfere with normal sleep cycles and prevent you from getting the rest your body and mind need. They can occur on their own or alongside mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Common types of sleep disorders include insomnia, hypersomnia, restless leg syndrome, and circadian rhythm disorders. Symptoms may be occasional or chronic, but when sleep problems persist, professional support can make a meaningful difference in both physical and mental health.

Symptoms of Sleep Disorders

Sleep disorder symptoms can vary depending on the type, but may include:

  • Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
  • Waking up too early and not being able to fall back asleep
  • Feeling tired or unrefreshed even after a full night’s sleep
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness or frequent napping
  • Trouble concentrating, memory issues, or mood swings
  • Restlessness or unusual movements during sleep
  • Anxiety or frustration around bedtime

If these symptoms occur regularly and impact your daily functioning, it may be time for an expert evaluation.

How We Diagnose Sleep Disorders

Our virtual diagnosis process begins with a detailed evaluation of your sleep habits, daily routines, lifestyle factors, and medical history. We use structured sleep assessments and screening tools to identify the type and cause of your sleep issues. If necessary, we may recommend lab testing to rule out related conditions or refer you for a sleep study. Our goal is to get a clear picture of your sleep challenges so we can build a plan that leads to long-term improvement.
