When Sleep and Stress Collide

Everyone experiences stress and restless nights every so often, but when it becomes a persistent problem, it can affect nearly every aspect of your life. Chronic stress and sleep disorders are closely linked, often feeding into each other and creating a cycle that’s difficult to escape without the proper support.

Common concerns we address include:

  • Insomnia or trouble staying asleep
  • Difficulty falling asleep due to racing thoughts
  • Waking too early or feeling unrested after sleep
  • Burnout, fatigue, and lack of focus
  • Muscle tension, irritability, and constant worry
  • Panic symptoms or feeling overwhelmed
  • Physical symptoms related to stress (headaches, stomach issues)

Stress and sleep disturbances are often symptoms of deeper mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic health issues. We take time to explore your whole health picture and provide care that works for you.

Integrated Care You Can Count On

Stress and sleep are rarely two separate issues. That’s why we take an integrative approach that considers your full mental and physical health history. If your symptoms are connected to anxiety, trauma, depression, or another condition, we’ll address those concerns as part of your treatment plan.

We also work closely with other providers in your care circle when needed, including your primary care doctor or sleep specialists, to coordinate support and avoid fragmented care.
