Can't sleep

(Insomnia disorders)

I cannot get off to sleep

I cannot stay asleep and I wake frequently through the night

I wake up excessively early (earlier than I would like to by at least half an hour)

I am not waking up refreshed or satisfied with sleep

I am falling asleep during waking hours (from wake time to sleep time)

I am feeling fatigued or lacking in energy or making errors in performance or thinking

How I can help

You will be asked to complete a 14 day sleep diary after the first assessment.

Review of sleep diary and explanation of next steps therapy (gold standard is cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia).

Clinical review of symptoms and background; basic examination, explanation of findings.
