What is Sleep Optimization?

Sleep Optimization is a program of medical intervention focused on restoring healthy sleep patterns through lifestyle approaches, sleep hygiene practices, diet, supplements and other treatment approaches that restore your ability to experience restful sleep.

It is a multifaceted, complex field of ongoing study and research that benefits from a holistic functional medicine approach to ensure your health and well-being at every stage of life.

What Does Sleep Optimization Involve?

The goal is to enhance deep, restorative sleep, and a Sleep Optimization treatment plan should be designed to be as unique as you are. A Sleep Optimization approach may address an array of factors like:

• Refining your sleep environment – This can include creating a cool, dark, and quiet space for sleep, as well as replacing uncomfortable pillows or mattresses.
• Developing good daily habits conducive to quality sleep
• Establishing a bedtime routine to maximize both the quality and quantity of sleep
• Maintaining a consistent sleep-wake schedule
• Managing stress - Because chronic stress negatively impacts healthy sleep patterns, stress management and certain practices like deep breathing, meditation or yoga can have a real impact on sleep.
• Limiting stimulants - Restricting caffeine and nicotine completely or at least to the earlier part of the day can make a tremendous difference in your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep
• Minimizing exposure to screens
• Vitamins and supplements – We can help you select the most effective supplements to aid sleep.
• Dietary changes – Timing your evening meal well in advance of bedtime can be key to a healthy night’s sleep. The foods you eat can also help to regulate sleep. Adequate hydration is also key in supporting Sleep Optimization as it supports digestion, nutrient absorption and elimination.
• Incorporating healthy movement - Physical activity has been shown to support healthy sleep.
• And so much more!

Our approach is not aimed at quick fixes but rather at a lifelong approach to sleep hygiene, health and overall wellness, utilizing the components listed above in an individualized treatment plan designed just for you:

What can I expect from my Sleep Optimization consultation?

At your initial consultation, we will take a medical history and review any medications, supplements or herbal medications you’re taking, as well as assess any medical needs or contraindications you may have.
