Sleep assessment & sleep-focused care
Poor sleep worsens almost everything—and often has treatable causes.
How it works
Assessment looks at sleep timing, insomnia, apnea, restless legs, medication effects and routines, then treats what’s found—CBT-I, apnea treatment, schedule changes or medication review.
What the evidence says, use by use
Evidence is specific to the condition, population and—for devices—the exact product. One label never covers everything.
Sleep: Identifying and treating sleep problems
