Parasomnia Treatment

Behavioral Therapy (CBT-I and Relaxation Techniques): Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) can help modify sleep habits and reduce arousal during sleep. Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation, may also help reduce stress and improve sleep quality.

Sleep Environment Modifications: We help you create a sleep environment that minimizes the risk of injury or disruption. This can include removing potential hazards, securing windows and doors, or setting up protective barriers around the bed

Medications: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to address underlying conditions, such as anxiety or sleep disorders, that could be contributing to parasomnias. Medications like benzodiazepines or certain antidepressants may be used to manage more severe cases of sleepwalking or night terrors.

Sleep Studies (Polysomnography): We may recommend a sleep study to monitor your brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and other sleep parameters during the night. This helps us gain a better understanding of your sleep cycle and identify factors that may contribute to parasomnia.

Lifestyle Changes: Managing stress, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine or alcohol can all help reduce the occurrence of parasomnias. We guide you in making positive lifestyle changes to improve your overall sleep health.
