When sleepless nights become the norm
Everyone has a rough night now and then, but when falling or staying asleep becomes a nightly struggle, it starts affecting everything else: mood, focus, energy, and health. At ORIGEN Healthcare, we take a root-cause approach to insomnia, since sleep problems are often connected to anxiety, depression, or other underlying conditions.
We combine psychiatric evaluation, sleep hygiene strategies, and medication management when appropriate to help you find lasting, restful sleep, not just a short-term fix.
Insomnia is often a symptom of something else, not a standalone problem. Identifying and treating the underlying cause is frequently the most effective long-term solution.

What is insomnia?
Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and being unable to fall back asleep, resulting in daytime fatigue or impaired functioning. Brief periods of insomnia during times of acute stress are common and often resolve on their own.
When sleeplessness becomes chronic, persisting for a month or more, it may signal a need for evaluation. Insomnia can exist on its own, but it's frequently connected to another mental health condition, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. In these cases, treating the underlying condition often improves sleep as well.
Left unaddressed, chronic insomnia can affect mood, concentration, work performance, and overall physical health.
Guidelines recommend cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as a first treatment for long-lasting insomnia. Your provider can talk with you about it alongside any medicine.
When should you seek insomnia treatment?
Occasional sleepless nights are common, but ongoing sleep difficulties that affect your health, mood, or daily performance should be professionally evaluated. A consultation with our provider can identify the underlying causes of your insomnia and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve healthier, more restorative sleep.
- Difficulty falling asleep three or more nights each week
- Waking up frequently during the night or too early in the morning
- Feeling tired, unrested, or fatigued despite spending enough time in bed
- Trouble concentrating, remembering things, or staying productive due to poor sleep
- Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress that is contributing to sleep problems
- Insomnia symptoms lasting more than a few weeks or interfering with work, school, or relationships

Questions patients ask
What is the first-line treatment for insomnia?
Behavioral and lifestyle changes, often called sleep hygiene, are typically the first-line approach. This includes a consistent sleep schedule, limiting caffeine, reducing screen use before bed, and regular exercise.
When should I see a psychiatric provider for insomnia?
If sleep hygiene changes haven't resolved chronic sleeplessness, or if your insomnia seems connected to anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition, a psychiatric evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Is insomnia always caused by a mental health condition?
No. Insomnia can be a standalone condition or a symptom of an underlying issue like anxiety, depression, or a medical condition. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether treating an underlying condition will improve your sleep.
Is medication necessary to treat insomnia?
Not always. Many people see improvement through behavioral and lifestyle changes alone. When these aren't enough, your provider may discuss medication options as part of a broader treatment plan.
Is insomnia treatment covered by insurance?
Many psychiatric evaluation and medication management services are covered by insurance. Our team can help verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
How long does short-term insomnia typically last?
Brief periods of insomnia during times of acute stress are common and often resolve on their own within a few weeks. When sleeplessness becomes chronic, lasting a month or more, it may be time to seek evaluation.

Dr. Nazira and the entire team are incredibly professional, compassionate, and thorough in their approach to mental wellness. They take the time to create a personalized plan that actually works.
She always makes me feel heard and that she is truly listening to what I am saying.

Her office staff are always welcoming and quick to respond when I have any questions or send patient portal messages.
Before starting care with Nazira, I was in a very difficult place. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate me, leading to an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan. Throughout the process, I faced many challenges, but she remained patient, dedicated, and never gave up on helping me improve.
