Sleep studies are generally suggested when another sleep disorder such as narcolepsy or apnea is contributing to or causing insomnia. Chronically acquiring too little sleep can lead to serious health problems and significantly decrease the quality of life. For this reason, it is essential to determine the underlying causes of insomnia and provide solutions.
Therapy for insomnia begins after the causes for it are understood. Every individual requires a tailored therapeutic approach that may include psychological, medical, and behavioral tools.
