FIND WHY FIRST!: Sleep shares a 1/3 of our life, and is important for the body to work its best. It is becoming increasing concerns more people nowadays have sleep apnea or upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS). If you have this condition, the oxygen intake during sleep can be severely compromised, which invites more other serious health issues. Before you use pills, find out why. Your airway might be in danger.

INSOMNIA: Getting good night's sleep is important for physical & mental health. Insomnia might be due to several reasons. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy that helps you benefit from medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. seek 2nd opinion. You may need a sleep study.
