I cannot fall asleep, or I keep waking up
Classic insomnia, often with hyperarousal, medication effects, circadian disruption or another sleep disorder hiding underneath.
Board-certified, physician-led sleep medicine
Finally figure out why your sleep is falling apart.
From chronic insomnia and sleep apnea to hypersomnia, parasomnias, movement disorders, pediatric sleep concerns and sleep medication dependence, I treat the messy cases that do not fit into a five-minute template.

What brings you here?
Common ways sleep problems show up
Patients usually arrive with a vague label like bad sleep. The real diagnosis is often more interesting, and more fixable, than that.
Daytime sleepiness
Eight hours in bed. Still exhausted.
Tired all the time is a symptom, not a personality. We find out what is fragmenting your sleep.
Find the cause
Insomnia
The first-line treatment is not a pill.
CBT-I is the recommended first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. Medication plans are built around it, not instead of it.
How CBT-I works
Breathing at night
Snoring is a clue. Not a diagnosis.
Obstructive, central and complex sleep apnea need different answers. CPAP is not always the whole story.
Get evaluatedI snore, gasp, choke or stop breathing
Obstructive sleep apnea is common, but central apnea, upper-airway resistance and complex sleep apnea all deserve proper attention.
I sleep enough but still feel wrecked
Fragmented sleep, hypersomnia, circadian misalignment or sleep-disordered breathing can hide behind a normal-looking sleep diary.
My brain will not shut up at bedtime
Anxiety, conditioned arousal, trauma-related nightmares, pain and medication effects love to masquerade as just stress.
My legs or body act strangely at night
Restless legs, periodic limb movements and parasomnias can sabotage sleep and leave people inexplicably exhausted.
My sleep timing is completely off
Delayed sleep phase, shift work and irregular sleep-wake patterns need more than a generic sleep hygiene pamphlet.
How we work
A serious diagnostic process, not a conveyor belt
Sleep medicine gets sloppy when everything is forced into a snoring-or-sleeping-pill binary. This practice is built for the cases that need actual thinking.
01 · Deep assessment
A detailed first consultation that maps symptoms, timing, history, medications, psychiatric factors and prior testing, including the patterns other clinics tend to miss.
02 · Targeted plan
Behavioral work, home testing, medication simplification, device therapy, circadian interventions or referral when it is actually needed.
03 · Follow-through
Complex sleep problems rarely resolve in one visit. We iterate and adjust until the plan works in real life, not just in a note template.

Your physician
One physician who sees the whole picture
I am triple board-certified in sleep medicine (ABIM and ABA), anesthesiology (ABA) and addiction medicine (ABPM). That combination matters when insomnia, medication dependence, breathing disorders, pain, anxiety and fragmented sleep all pile together in the same patient.
Many people come to me after years of partial answers or a diagnosis that never really fit. Those are exactly the cases I built EusomniaMD to treat.
