​​​What is Sleep?

Many people use the term insomnia to describe any sleep difficulty. However, sleep belongs along a continuum. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​

 

Where your sleep falls on the continuum is important because it affects the treatment approach.  Factors such as how long sleep difficulties have been present, the profile of your sleep issues, how often they occur, their impact on daily life, and whether they are related to stress, health conditions, shift work, or life circumstances. By understanding the bigger picture, support can be tailored to address the underlying causes rather than simply the symptoms.​
