#1 Reason Why People Can’t Sleep

-I’m back! Had to take a break from socials this week to meet the insane end of the year rush in clinic! As I listened to my patients I just kept thinking - life is so hard! Most people who make an appointment to see me were self managing a sleep problem for a long time but something tipped the scales to make it unmanageable.

-It’s a privilege to be a physican and to have people take time out of their day to see you and in a vulnerable moment and ask for help. I’m so grateful for what I do. I hope I give people hope that even though life is probably always going to be difficult, we can get stronger, more resilient, and smarter.

-Happy Holidays everyone 🫶

👀Comparsion is the thief of joy. Comes up a lot when it comes to sleep. Seemed to be a theme the past few weeks. Helping people with their sleep concerns is so fascinating and sometimes I really feel like a therapist - but I also know I’ve 💯 gone to see a doctor to see if something was “normal” and it was. Sometimes our job is just to educate.

👂To this case about whether the patients dreams were normal and how important context is!

🙏🏻To those of you who like my long form posts, sometimes I feel it’s an important story to tell even when IG warns me they won’t show it to new viewers 🤷🏻‍♀️

👩🏻‍⚕️Feeling spicy today. But honestly sometimes I’m astounded at the sheer ignorance of some of my colleagues. I don’t like to 💩💩💩on my colleagues but this time they deserve it.

🌚And just a few months ago I was thinking I lived in the most beautiful place in the world. Welp, it’s officially SAD light season!

🌙Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) is powerful — but it’s not magic. It helps retrain your brain around sleep habits and anxiety.

Does it work? SWIPE RIGHT to learn more!

🌙CBT-I gives you the tools, but the ex*****on is in your hands.

-So if you’ve been feeling defeated because “CBT-I didn’t work,” please don’t give up. Sometimes it means examining resistance, skepticism, or prioirtizing. Sleep struggles are complex, and needing more support doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re human. 💙

🌙Your body wants to sleep. It needs the right conditions, the right care, and a time.
