Sleep psychology
Have you ever wondered why your brain races at night while lying in bed? Even when you feel exhausted, it can sometimes be a challenge to quiet an active mind. Some neurodevelopmental disorders can make this issue worse. Believe it or not, there are also subconscious visual, or auditory cues that can either assist or prevent a person from achieving sleep.
Sleep psychologists are experts in improving these problems- and you can consult with one here at Cook Children's Medical Center! These are individuals with a Ph.D. in psychology, who have then done extra training in the field of behavioral sleep medicine. They can analyze a person's schedule, sleep environment, medical and developmental history and mindset at bedtime, and help to make a treatment plan that maximizes the duration and quality of sleep. They can help everyone from parents of young babies, to teenagers. Contact us if you think a sleep psychology visit could help a child in your family!
