Sleep Specialist in Austin: Overcome Nightmares and Sleep Restfully

You wake up sweating and hyperventilating.

You can’t sleep. In the course of a single night you can wake up multiple times with extremely vivid, graphic and often times violent and disturbing dreams. You are exhausted all day, chronically sleep deprived and unable to function.

The Struggle to Find Peace After Nightmares

Even if you are lucky to get some sleep, you can’t find peace.

It’s so cruel! You wonder how your brain even comes up with this awful stuff. It feels SO REAL no matter how terrifying, disturbing, or disgusting. Once you wake from the nightmare, you can’t get back to sleep. Not that you want to sleep more, because then you’d just start the cycle of nightmares all over.

You are tired but wired, dragging yourself throughout the day, feeling grouchy and worn out.

Anxiety About Sleep? You're Not Alone

As much as the day sucks, you absolutely dread the night. The anxiety just builds and builds and builds. You know you need sleep but you are terrified to sleep. You feel damaged, broken, and lost as you try everything from sleeping as little as possible to sleeping with a light on to sleeping in spurts.

Frequently asked questions for a sleep specialist in Austin

  • The phrase “how to stop nightmares” gets tens of thousands of searches per month on Google. I wonder how many of those folks think nightmares are just their lot in life. If you’re reading this, however, you now know there is an option called CBT for Nightmares.

  • If you have repeated and intense nightmares, you might have nightmare disorder. You may or may not have a trauma history (some do and some don’t). If nightmares are causing you to avoid sleep or impacting your day, CBT for Nightmares is a good option.

  • Of course! I was trained to think of nightmares as a learned habit in the brain. Your thoughts go down the same path every night because that’s what they always do. There is something about engaging with the nightmare during the day and on your terms that allows your brain to go down a different path and you to finally get some peace!
