Sleep is one of the most important biological foundations of mental health. When sleep is disrupted whether through insomnia, fragmented sleep, early waking, or poor sleep quality, it can affect mood, anxiety, cognition, metabolism, and emotional regulation. We provide a comprehensive, evidence-based, and integrative approach to sleep problems that goes beyond short-term sleep aids focusing on identifying and treating root causes.
