Is it hard to fall asleep even when you have the chance?

Want a good night's sleep, but sleep won't come?

Having difficulty falling asleep despite enough time and a suitable environment, being unable to fall back asleep after waking, or waking earlier than you want are typical patterns of insomnia. When these problems recur, you may feel tired or have trouble concentrating during the day, and your mood and daily life may also be affected. Sleep problems can arise from many causes besides insomnia, such as sleep apnea or changes in daily rhythm. We look at how you sleep at night, how you feel during the day, and how often and how long symptoms occur in order to identify the cause.

FAQ

For any other questions, please ask when booking your visit.

Can I consult about difficulty falling asleep or waking often?

You can consult about sleep-related discomfort such as taking a long time to fall asleep or waking often. We check when symptoms began, your sleep duration, how you feel during the day, and any previous treatment, then advise on the direction of care.

Does it help to keep a sleep log?

Briefly record when you went to bed, when you felt you fell asleep, how many times you woke, and when you got up. Noting naps, daily activity, and medications also helps us discuss your current sleep.

Can I consult you while taking sleeping pills?

If you tell us the name, dose, and duration of the sleeping pills you take, we will review your current treatment with you. Please do not stop or reduce them on your own; discuss any change with the prescribing doctor.

Should I tell you about my shift work schedule?

If your sleep hours vary due to shift work or overtime, please tell us your work schedule. We check your sleep and activity patterns on workdays and days off, and discuss what to look at in a way that fits your actual life.

How long does treatment take?

The treatment period depends on how long the sleep problems have lasted, your lifestyle patterns, previous treatment, and changes after treatment. We explain a plan at the first consultation and adjust it while checking your nighttime sleep and daytime condition.

How much does sleep disorder care cost?

For an accurate estimate, please consult with us after your visit. Costs may vary depending on your sleep condition, examination results, and whether treatment or an herbal prescription is needed. During the consultation, we will explain the care plan and costs.
