Types of Insomnia
MHV Clinic offers expert osteopathic care. We help patients with sleep issues. Our specialists treat various sleep disorders. Firstly, we address different types of insomnia. Moreover, our methods are natural and safe.
Also known as short-term insomnia, is usually triggered by stressful life events such as job loss, grief, or exams. It lasts a few days or weeks but typically resolves once the stressor is removed.
This long-term form of insomnia persists for at least three months, occurring at least three nights per week. Chronic insomnia can be a result of ongoing stress, medical conditions, or mental health issues.
This type is characterised by difficulty falling asleep at the beginning of the night. Stress, anxiety, and poor sleep habits are common causes.
Those with this type of insomnia struggle to stay asleep and may wake up multiple times during the night. It is often associated with chronic pain, depression, or sleep apnea.
This occurs alongside other health conditions, such as chronic pain, asthma, or mental health disorders. Effective treatment requires addressing both the insomnia and the underlying condition.
At MHV Clinic, we personalise our approach to treating these types of insomnia through targeted therapies and lifestyle adjustments, ensuring that your unique needs are met.
Short term insomnia often follows a stressful event, an illness or a change in routine, and usually settles within a few weeks. Insomnia that lasts three months or more is called chronic and is worth discussing with your GP. Noticing whether you struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep or wake too early helps a clinician understand what is going on.
If pain or tension plays a part in your poor sleep, your osteopath will assess your neck, back and shoulders, ease the tight areas and suggest sleeping positions that put less strain on your body.
