What Is Insomnia?
Insomnia is more than the occasional sleepless night. It’s a persistent difficulty with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early, despite having the opportunity for adequate rest. Chronic insomnia can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, and unable to focus.
We treat a wide range of sleep disorders through virtual psychiatric care, including:
- Acute Insomnia: short-term sleep disruption often caused by stress, trauma, or life changes
- Chronic Insomnia: difficulty falling or staying asleep for 3 months or more, occurring at least 3 nights per week
- Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders: sleep problems caused by misalignment between your body’s internal clock and external cues, such as:
- Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (trouble falling asleep until very late at night)
- Shift Work Sleep Disorder
- Irregular Sleep-Wake Rhythm
Common Signs & Symptoms
Insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders can cause:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking frequently during the night
- Waking too early and being unable to go back to sleep
- Daytime fatigue or low energy
- Irritability or mood changes
- Trouble concentrating or remembering details
- Anxiety about sleep or bedtime
- Cognitive symptoms from poor sleep
If these symptoms persist, it’s time to speak with an insomnia doctor who can identify the root cause and recommend targeted solutions. Lifetime Insight has psychiatrists who are experts in sleep medicine and can meet with you via telehealth and get you sleeping again.
How Our Insomnia Doctors Can Help Online
Our approach addresses both the immediate sleep difficulties and the underlying causes – whether stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, medical conditions, or poor sleep habits.
1. Comprehensive Telepsychiatry Evaluation
Your first visit is a 55-minute telepsychiatry session with a board certified physician psychiatrist where your sleep patterns, lifestyle, mental health history, and any medical factors that may be contributing will be reviewed.
2. Personalized Medication Management
If needed, we may prescribe short-term or long-term sleep aids, carefully selecting options that balance effectiveness with safety. We also evaluate your current medications to ensure none are disrupting your sleep.
3. Behavioral and Lifestyle Strategies
We often recommend evidence-based non-medication strategies, including:
- Nutritional counseling to address diet patterns that may impact sleep quality
- Targeted supplementation which incorporates safe, clinically supported supplements that improve sleep quality through a variety of mechanisms, such as supporting relaxation, regulating circadian rhythms, and reducing nighttime awakenings.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) referrals
- Sleep hygiene education (bedtime routines, light exposure, bedroom optimization)
- Relaxation techniques like progressive muscle relaxation and mindfulness
- Circadian rhythm regulation using light therapy or time-restricted behaviors
4. Addressing Underlying Conditions
Sleep issues rarely occur in isolation. We also evaluate and treat conditions commonly linked with insomnia, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or trauma. Our psychiatrists address these conditions as part of your sleep treatment plan to help you achieve long-term relief.
Is It Insomnia or Something Else?
Not all sleep problems are caused by insomnia. Our psychiatrists evaluate your symptoms to determine whether they stem from another condition, such as:
- Circadian rhythm disorders
- Sleep apnea or other breathing disorders requiring a referral to a sleep study
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS)
- Medication side effects
- Mental health conditions impacting sleep, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or ADHD.
Getting the right diagnosis is the first step to long-term relief.
When to Reach Out for Help
You should consider seeing an online insomnia doctor if:
- You’ve had trouble sleeping for more than 3 weeks
- Poor sleep is affecting your mood, work, or relationships
- You rely on alcohol or over-the-counter sleep aids regularly
- Your sleep problems are getting worse instead of better
Early treatment can prevent insomnia from becoming chronic and help you feel more rested, alert, and balanced.
