We check your sleep pattern and daily rhythm together.

Sleep DisordersWe check how long it takes to fall asleep, how often you wake during the night, and how you feel in the morning. We also look at caffeine intake and daily rhythm to create a sleep care plan.
What happens on my first visit?
On your first visit, we ask in detail when and how your symptoms began, along with lifestyle habits such as sleep and diet. Based on this, we decide on a treatment plan and visit schedule together with you.
This does not replace a diagnosis. Share your answers during your visit.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
