Overcoming Insomnia Without Drugs

Insomnia affects millions of people and makes it nearly impossible to get to sleep or stay asleep. Without the proper rest, the body can't function normally, which causes daytime fatigue and trouble concentrating or doing everyday activities.

However, insomnia isn't easy to eliminate; it may take various tests and therapies to get the sleep your body needs. However, medications aren't the only option for insomnia; many other holistic options get to the root of the issue.

At the Regenerative Medical Group, Dr. Bryn J. Henderson and Dr. John S. Farag offer a sleep wellness program for people with insomnia. They provide primary care services, virtual reality, and IV infusion therapy to help patients regain their sleep schedules.

What is a sleep wellness program?

We offer a sleep wellness program to help you sleep better. It's a comprehensive option that addresses sleep issues like insomnia and helps you get the rest your body needs.

Our sleep wellness program addresses the specific issues behind your sleep disturbances. We evaluate your symptoms and offer various tests and therapies to help you overcome sleep disorders.

The sleep wellness program consists of IV therapy, lifestyle changes, and virtual reality to create a relaxing environment for sleep. We check in with you regularly over eight to ten weeks and evaluate your progress to ensure you get the desired results.

Non-pharmacologic treatments for insomnia

Dealing with insomnia is frustrating when you can't seem to stay asleep all night or get to sleep at all. You can try anything over-the-counter to help you sleep, but it may not work.

Prescription medications are available for insomnia but may come with unfavorable side effects, and you may just not want to take a medication daily – but what other options are there?

Our team offers several other options that don't involve medications for sleep issues like insomnia. The two primary therapies we utilize in our sleep wellness program include:

IV therapy

IV therapy involves giving you essential fluids, nutrients, and vitamins that restore the body and help you finally get the rest you've been hoping for. Various nutrient deficiencies may be the cause of chronic insomnia, which we can remedy through IV therapy.

Our sleep wellness program offers regular IV therapy sessions that include nutrients like magnesium, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. We also add essential amino acids and other vitamins to ensure your body has what it needs to rest.

Virtual reality

Virtual reality is another therapy we utilize to help you overcome insomnia. Before bed, VR provides an immersive world of relaxation and distraction that helps fight insomnia.

We program specific relaxation VR simulations designed to improve mood and promote a good night's sleep.

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Insomnia may create anxiety about being able to sleep or depression when you go so long without needed rest. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches you how to deal with these emotions to fight insomnia. CBT is a long-term program that helps you understand your feelings and learn how to sleep throughout the night.

We also recommend various sleep hygiene strategies that promote an optimal rest environment. These may include avoiding caffeine close to bed, keeping your bedroom for sleep only, and avoiding naps during the day.
