Sleep Disorders
Sleep disturbances are common, but they’re not normal. For many people, restful sleep doesn’t come easily. Whether you're struggling to fall asleep, waking often during the night or waking up exhausted, sleep issues can take a significant toll on your wellbeing.
Signs you might need support:
Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
Waking up tired despite “enough” sleep
Racing thoughts at bedtime
Anxiety around sleep
Dependence on sleep aids or alcohol to wind down
Energy crashes or brain fog during the day
Mood swings, irritability or low resilience
Hormonal imbalances (sleep is vital for regulation)
How Naturopathy can help
Naturopathic care looks at the whole picture: your nervous system, stress load, sleep habits, nutrition, hormones and gut health, all of which play a role in sleep regulation. Depending on your symptoms, a personalised plan may include:
Herbal medicine to calm the mind and body, promote deep sleep and reset your rhythm
Nutritional guidance to stabilise blood sugar and support melatonin production
Nervous system support using adaptogens, calming herbs and nervous system regulation strategies
Hormonal balancing (especially around perimenopause, PMS or adrenal issues)
Sleep hygiene and routine adjustments that work with your body, not against it
Gut health support, since serotonin and melatonin are both linked to gut function
