Bad sleep is one of the most common things patients bring up, and one of the most misread. The usual advice is “fix your sleep hygiene”: no screens before bed, a cooler room, a consistent bedtime. Sometimes that’s enough. A lot of the time, it isn’t.
Ongoing insomnia is often a symptom, not the actual problem. Anxiety, depression, an irregular schedule, or an undiagnosed mood disorder can all show up first as sleepless nights. Treat the sleep alone and you might get short-term relief, but the problem tends to come back.
A real evaluation looks at your whole routine, nights and days, to find the pattern. Dr. Nadia Mansour has specific training in sleep disorders on top of her psychiatric practice, so treatment can address the sleep problem and whatever’s underneath it at the same time.
If you’ve been running on bad sleep for weeks with nothing helping, it might be worth an evaluation that goes past the usual bedtime tips. Dr. Nadia Mansour sees patients at Mubadala Health Dubai.
