How do you work with clients with sleep or insomnia issues?
I start by exploring the full picture of your sleep habits, stress, medical history, and lifestyle, because insomnia is rarely just about sleep itself. I avoid jumping to sleeping pills as a first solution and instead focus on identifying what is driving the problem. When medications are needed, I prescribe very carefully and explain exactly how they work, what risks they carry, and how to use them safely. I also emphasize education around sleep hygiene and behavioral strategies so you are not dependent on medications long term. You will always know why I am recommending something, and you will always have the final say.
