Various Sleep Therapy and Sleep Treatments for Disorders
There are a wide range of sleep disorders and each sleep therapy and treatment is tailored to your needs.
Sleep Hygiene
Taking steps to improve your sleeping environment and practices can promote healthier sleep. Examples include keeping a regular sleep schedule, having a bedtime routine, replacing a mattress or pillow, installing black-out blinds, or wearing earplugs.
Lifestyle Changes
Many sleep disorders have been linked to poor diet, too much caffeine, lack of physical activity, smoking and drug/alcohol use. One of the simplest sleep treatments, lifestyle changes can help improve sleep quality in a number of patients.
Non-medication Sleep Therapy
Patients with sleep disorders benefit from various sleep therapies, such as: cognitive behavioural therapy (CBTi), hypnotherapy or light therapy.
CPAP Machine
A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine is the most commonly prescribed solution for treating sleep apnea disorders. It provides a steady flow of air as you sleep, keeping airways open.
Oral Appliances
Oral appliances are designed to prevent grinding of the teeth during sleep (a sleep-related movement disorder). An oral appliance is molded for a custom fit. It is made by a sleep-trained dentist.
Medications
Depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, pharmaceutical medication may be prescribed under a doctor’s supervision.
