Nutrition and Dietetics
Late heavy meals, caffeine and alcohol timing directly affect sleep; a dietitian adjusts the evening routine.
Frequently asked questions
When is insomnia a problem I should get help for?
If you have trouble falling asleep, wake frequently or wake unrefreshed at least three nights a week for more than three weeks, and it affects your daytime mood, focus or energy, it is worth seeking help. Short-lived sleep disruption after stress usually passes; a pattern that has settled in rarely fixes itself.
Should I see a doctor or a psychologist for sleep problems?
Loud snoring, pauses in breathing, restless legs or falling asleep suddenly during the day need a medical sleep assessment first. Otherwise, a psychologist can start the assessment, since most chronic insomnia has psychological and behavioural components. If a medical cause is suspected during therapy, you are referred to a doctor.
Does CBT-I work for insomnia without sleeping pills?
For most people, yes. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia is recommended as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, and its effects tend to last after sessions end. Decisions about starting, continuing or stopping sleep medication belong to your doctor; therapy can run alongside medication where it is already prescribed.
What happens in insomnia therapy?
You keep a sleep diary for one to two weeks, then work on the habits that keep insomnia going: irregular sleep times, long periods awake in bed, daytime napping and worry about not sleeping. Sleep is rebuilt with a consistent schedule and techniques for calming a racing mind. Insomnia therapy in Beylikdüzü usually runs 6–8 sessions.
Will cutting caffeine and naps fix my insomnia?
They help but rarely fix chronic insomnia on their own. Once a poor sleep pattern is established, worrying about sleep and spending long hours awake in bed keep it going regardless of caffeine. Sleep hygiene is a starting point; structured therapy addresses the pattern itself, which is why it works where tips alone have failed.
