Patient: Sarah M., 34, Chandler, AZ
Issue: Chronic fatigue and difficulty falling asleep despite feeling drained.
Background:
Sarah is a marketing manager with a high-stress job. She reported feeling “burnt out” at night but unable to fall asleep until 2–3 AM. She often woke up groggy and had trouble focusing during the day.
Assessment:
Our sleep specialist identified that Sarah’s problem stemmed from high stress, irregular sleep routines, and excessive screen use before bed. No underlying medical conditions (like sleep apnea) were found.
Treatment Plan:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
- Introduction to a sleep hygiene routine (consistent sleep/wake time)
- Daily light exposure and 30 minutes of moderate exercise
- Guided breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises at bedtime
- Blue light filters installed on her devices
Outcome (After 6 Weeks):
- Fall-asleep time improved by 70%
- Sleep duration increased to 7–8 hours per night
- Reported better mood, focus, and energy throughout the day
Quote from Sarah:
“I thought being tired meant I should just crash, but ENTicare taught me how to rest smart. I finally feel like myself again.”
