What Is A Sleep Disorder?

A sleep disorder is a condition that regularly prevents you from getting restorative sleep or affects the quality, timing, or amount of sleep you receive. 

These disorders can significantly impact your physical health, mental well-being, and daily performance.

While sleep disorders are not mental health disorders, they are often closely linked to mental health conditions. 

Sleep disorders often involve disruptions to your natural sleep-wake cycle, breathing patterns during sleep, or behaviors that interfere with rest. 

While occasional sleep difficulties are normal, sleep disorders are characterized by persistent problems that occur at least three times per week and last for several months. 

According to the NIH, about 50 to 70 million Americans struggle with a sleep disorder.

Left untreated, sleep disorders can contribute to serious health complications including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Weakened Immune Function
  • Increased Risk of Accidents

Types of Sleep Disorders

Each sleep disorder has unique characteristics, causes, and treatment approaches, which is why accurate diagnosis by sleep specialists is essential.

The most common sleep disorders we treat at Arbor Wellness, include:

Insomnia

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and being unable to return to sleep. People with insomnia often experience daytime fatigue, mood disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. 

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea, occurs when throat muscles relax and block the airway. This condition leads to fragmented sleep, loud snoring, and dangerous drops in blood oxygen levels, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health complications.

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)

RLS causes an irresistible urge to move the legs, typically accompanied by uncomfortable sensations like crawling, tingling, or burning feelings. These symptoms usually worsen in the evening and at night, making it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.

Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain’s ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness and may have sudden, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during daily activities.

Circadian Rhythm Disorders

These disorders occur when your internal body clock is misaligned with your external environment. Common types include delayed sleep phase disorder, advanced sleep phase disorder, and shift work sleep disorder. People with these conditions may feel alert when they should be sleeping and sleepy when they need to be awake, leading to chronic sleep deprivation.

Parasomnias

Parasomnias are abnormal behaviors that occur during sleep, including sleepwalking, night terrors, sleep talking, and REM sleep behavior disorder. These conditions can be disruptive and potentially dangerous, often causing poor sleep quality and daytime impairment.

Insomnia & Sleep Disorder Treatment Programs in Nashville

At Arbor Wellness, we recognize that sleep disorders are often deeply interconnected with past trauma, mental health conditions, and life experiences. 

Our Nashville treatment programs are built on a foundation of trauma-informed care, ensuring that every aspect of your healing journey is conducted with sensitivity, safety, and understanding. 

We believe that effective sleep disorder treatment must address not only the symptoms but also the underlying emotional and psychological factors that may be disrupting your rest.

Residential Treatment

Our residential treatment program provides 24/7 comprehensive care for individuals with severe sleep disorders that significantly impact their daily functioning. 

In our supportive residential environment, clients receive intensive therapy, medical monitoring, and structured sleep schedules. This program is ideal for those who need intensive intervention, may have a dual diagnosis disorder, or have not responded to outpatient treatments. 

Our residential approach combines evidence-based sleep medicine with holistic wellness practices to address the root causes of sleep disorders.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Nashville Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers intensive daytime treatment while allowing clients to return home or a supportive housing program each evening. 

This program includes individual and group therapy sessions, sleep education, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, and medical management. 

Clients participate in structured activities designed to improve sleep hygiene, stress management, and overall wellness. The PHP is perfect for individuals who need significant support but can maintain some independence in their daily lives.

Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP)

Our Nashville Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides flexible treatment options for those who need ongoing support while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. 

Sessions typically occur in the evenings or weekends and include specialized sleep therapy, support groups, and educational workshops. This program focuses on developing practical skills for managing sleep disorders, implementing healthy sleep habits, and preventing relapse.

How Can A Sleep Disorder Treatment Center Help You?

Our specialized sleep disorder treatment center offers comprehensive, evidence-based care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of your sleep difficulties.

At Arbor Wellness, our multidisciplinary team includes, licensed therapists, and wellness specialists who work together to create personalized treatment plans. We provide accurate diagnosis through assessments, ensuring you receive the most appropriate interventions for your specific condition.

Our insomnia and sleep disorder treatment center offers a supportive environment where you can learn from others facing similar challenges while receiving individualized attention from experienced professionals.

Additionally, we provide ongoing support and relapse prevention strategies to help you maintain healthy sleep patterns long after treatment.

How We Treat Insomnia & Sleep Disorders

We begin every treatment journey with thorough assessments, including detailed sleep histories, medical evaluations, and comprehensive mental health screenings.

When necessary, we coordinate other diagnostic testing to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to create individualized treatment plans that address your specific needs, preferences, and treatment goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) serves as the gold standard treatment for chronic insomnia and forms a cornerstone of our therapeutic approach. 

This evidence-based therapy helps you identify and modify thoughts, behaviors, and environmental factors that interfere with quality sleep. Through CBT-I, you’ll learn sleep restriction techniques, stimulus control methods, and cognitive restructuring skills to break the cycle of poor sleep and daytime impairment.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

Many sleep disorders are rooted in traumatic experiences, which is why we incorporate specialized trauma-informed therapeutic approaches into our treatment programs. 

Our therapists are trained in evidence-based trauma treatments such somatic therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These modalities help process and heal from past experiences that may be manifesting as nightmares, night terrors, hypervigilance, or anxiety-related sleep disturbances.

Mindfulness-Based Sleep Therapy

Our mindfulness-based interventions teach you to develop a healthier relationship with sleep through present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques.

 These practices help reduce sleep-related anxiety, racing thoughts, and the frustration that often accompanies sleep difficulties. You’ll learn meditation techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises specifically designed to promote relaxation and prepare your mind and body for restful sleep.

Psychiatry & Medication Management

Our medical team provides comprehensive evaluation and management of any underlying medical conditions contributing to your sleep disorder. This includes psychiatry and medication management when appropriate, with careful monitoring for effectiveness and side effects. 

Family & Group Therapy

Sleep disorders don’t just affect the individual—they impact entire families and relationships. 

We offer family therapy sessions to help loved ones understand sleep disorders and learn how to provide appropriate support. Our group therapy sessions connect you with others facing similar challenges, providing peer support, shared learning experiences, and the reassurance that you’re not alone in your journey toward better sleep.
