TREATMENT OF SLEEP ANXIETY
Sleep anxiety, characterized by persistent worries and fears related to sleep, often leads to rumination. Individuals may excessively dwell on sleep-related concerns, even if they are sleeping relatively well, leading to heightened activation and difficulty winding down at bedtime. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) offers a structured and effective approach to address sleep anxiety by targeting maladaptive thought patterns, promoting behavioral tools, and establishing healthy sleep habits, ultimately helping individuals break free from the cycle of sleep-related anxiety and improve their overall sleep quality.
In your first visit, we will review your sleep, personal and medical history, and start you on a path to better sleep. Follow-up visits will occur approximately once every 1-2 weeks thereafter typically for a total of 10-15 visits.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHM DISORDER TREATMENT
We have a body clock in the middle of our brain that controls the timing of sleep and wake. Sometimes the body clock is not in-sync with when we want to sleep, causing disruptions in the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. This can lead to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up at desired times. Extreme night owls may struggle to fall asleep until the early hours of the morning, while those with non-24 sleep/wake disorder experience a constant shifting of their sleep schedule, making it challenging to maintain regular routines. On the other hand, extreme morning people may have difficulty staying awake in the evening and may wake for the day exceptionally early, sometimes even before dawn.
​
Treatment for circadian rhythm disorders often involves a combination of behavioral therapies, bright light therapy, sleep hygiene practices, and sometimes the strategic use of the supplement, melatonin, to regulate sleep patterns and promote synchronization with the natural day-night cycle.
In your first visit, we will review your sleep, personal and medical history, and start you on a path to better sleep. Follow-up visits will occur approximately once every 1-2 weeks thereafter typically for a total of 10-15 visits.

CBT FOR DISORDERS OF ALERTNESS
Disorders of daytime sleepiness, such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, profoundly impact individuals' ability to maintain wakefulness during the day, often leading to excessive sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, and impaired functioning. Treatment approaches for these conditions typically involve a multifaceted approach, combining cognitive and behavioral strategies with pharmacotherapy when necessary. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) aims to address maladaptive sleep patterns and improve sleep-related behaviors, while also targeting underlying psychological factors that may exacerbate daytime sleepiness. Additionally, collaboration with medication prescribers is crucial to explore pharmacological interventions, such as stimulants or wake-promoting agents, which can complement behavioral therapies and enhance daytime alertness. Through this comprehensive approach, individuals can better manage their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and regain control over their daytime functioning.
​
In your first visit, we will review your sleep, personal and medical history, and start you on a path to better sleep. Follow-up visits will occur approximately once every 1-2 weeks thereafter typically for a total of about 8-10 visits.

PSYCHOTHERAPY
During CBT-I treatment, it sometimes becomes apparent that underlying stressors or mood issues are contributing to sleep problems. In these cases, our therapy can extend to address these root causes through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. Sessions provide a structured platform to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping mechanisms, and restore mental well-being. Dr. Baehr, recognizing the importance of holistic mental health care, may prioritize this treatment for patients whose issues appear more deeply entrenched in mental health concerns rather than solely insomnia-related challenges.
In your first visit, we will review your psychological, personal and medical history, and start you on a path to psychological and emotional wellness. Follow-up visits will occur approximately once every 1-2 weeks thereafter.
