Reclaim Restful, Restorative Sleep
Insomnia affects more than your nights. When poor sleep disrupts your energy, focus, and well-being, the right treatment can restore balance. CARMAhealth's psychiatric and family medicine practitioners identify the root causes and create a plan that works for you.
When Sleep Becomes a Struggle
Insomnia is more than the occasional sleepless night. It can mean lying awake for hours, waking repeatedly through the night, or rising too early with no hope of falling back to sleep. Over time, the effects compound: difficulty concentrating, low energy, irritability, and a growing sense of frustration. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Chronic insomnia affects roughly 10 to 15 percent of adults, and it is a medical condition that responds to evidence-based treatment. The first step toward better sleep starts with understanding what is keeping you awake.
A Treatable Medical Condition
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, chronic insomnia occurs three or more nights per week, lasts longer than three months, and cannot be fully explained by another health problem. Research estimates that 10 to 15 percent of adults experience chronic insomnia, with an additional 20 to 30 percent reporting occasional symptoms. Left untreated, chronic insomnia raises the risk of high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and depression.
Insomnia frequently occurs alongside other psychiatric conditions. Depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD can all disrupt sleep, and poor sleep can worsen these conditions in return. This bidirectional relationship is one reason why effective insomnia treatment often requires addressing the full clinical picture, not just the sleep problem in isolation.
At CARMAhealth, your treatment starts with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Your psychiatric or family medicine practitioner assesses your sleep patterns, medical history, and any co-occurring conditions to build a personalized plan. Treatment may include medication management with sleep-promoting medications, adjustments to existing prescriptions that could be affecting sleep, or a combination of approaches designed for lasting improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Insomnia
Chronic insomnia involves difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early at least three nights per week for three months or longer. Daytime symptoms include fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, low motivation, and increased errors or accidents. If sleep problems are affecting your daily life, a psychiatric evaluation can help identify the cause and the right treatment.
Consider seeing a psychiatric or family medicine practitioner if your insomnia lasts more than a few weeks, interferes with work or relationships, or occurs alongside symptoms of depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition. A practitioner can evaluate whether your sleep problems are a standalone condition or a symptom of something broader, and tailor treatment accordingly.
Several FDA-approved medications treat insomnia, including suvorexant, eszopiclone, zolpidem, and low-dose trazodone. Your practitioner may also adjust existing medications that could be contributing to poor sleep. The right choice depends on whether you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, as well as any co-occurring conditions. Learn more on our medication management page.
Yes. Insomnia frequently co-occurs with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other psychiatric conditions. In many cases, poor sleep and mental health symptoms reinforce each other. Treating the underlying condition often improves sleep, and improving sleep can reduce the severity of mood and anxiety symptoms. A psychiatric evaluation helps identify these connections.
