Sleep Apnea Makes You Exhausted

Many people with sleep apnea expect to sleep better once they start CPAP therapy. Instead, they may continue struggling with insomnia, nighttime awakenings, or difficulty adjusting to the treatment itself.

This program begins by helping you understand and adapt to sleep apnea treatment. Once that foundation is established, CBT-I helps address the insomnia that often continues alongside sleep apnea.

Why We Treat Sleep Apnea First

Sleep apnea and insomnia frequently occur together.

Even when a person is motivated to improve sleep, untreated sleep apnea or difficulty using CPAP can continue disrupting the night. Building comfort and confidence with treatment creates a stronger foundation for improving sleep long-term.
