Perhaps you’re a high-achieving professional woman but sometimes you feel like you’re the only one in the room who doesn’t have it all together. Or maybe you have a million things on your plate, a to-do list that never seems to get any shorter, and when you lay your head down to sleep, your thoughts kick into gear and keep you awake. You may be feeling anxious, stressed and exhausted and you just want to find a way to regain your self-confidence and put some joy back into life. Everything feels hard and you long to feel peaceful and energized again.

When you’re feeling sad, angry, or frustrated in an important relationship—whether it's with your partner, your children, or with yourself after a divorce or big transition—it’s impossible to enjoy your life. All your energy goes towards managing those difficult emotions, and you feel drained, stressed-out, lonely, and scared. What’s worse, everything else suffers, too: sleep, work, and most important, your children. If this is where you are today, you are not alone. Most of us never learned how to create warm, connected relationships that help us grow. Fortunately these skills CAN be learned—and it doesn't take that long!

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
