About sleep disorders

Sleep is a basic necessity of life that is essential for our health and well-being. A lack of sleep can have a negative impact on your mood, thinking, relationships, work performance and long-term health.

Millions of Americans suffer from sleep-related disorders. In fact, more than 25 percent of people experience a sleep disorder at some time in their life.  Sleep disorders have been linked to high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, heart disease and stroke.

If you think that you or someone you know has a sleep disorder, we can help.

Allina Health's team of behavioral sleep medicine specialists are conveniently located at six Allina Health clinics and United Lung and Sleep Center.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

Our CBT-I therapy is much more than changing a few sleep hygiene habits. CBT-I involves working with a health care provider trained in the behavioral treatment of insomnia, usually over the course of four to six visits, to change habits, behavior and thinking that influence biological factors affecting your sleep.
