Focus area
When rest stops being restful.
Sleep problems rarely stand alone — they interact with anxiety, mood, medication, and medical health. Addressing sleep directly often improves everything else.
What this can look like
- Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
- Waking too early and not being able to return to sleep
- Feeling unrested even after a full night
- Daytime fatigue, low mood, or difficulty concentrating
- Reliance on alcohol or over-the-counter sleep aids
How we help
- Careful assessment for underlying anxiety, depression, apnea, or medication effects
- Non-medication strategies first when appropriate (CBT-I coordination, sleep hygiene)
- Thoughtful medication use when needed, with attention to dependence risk
- Coordination with your primary care provider for medical contributors
Private self-check
Sleep self-check (ISI-lite)
Rate the current severity of your insomnia problem(s).
This short check-in is based on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). It's a starting point — not a diagnosis.
For teens 13–17: A parent or guardian is typically involved in scheduling and the first visit. If you're in crisis, please call or text 988 — this self-check is not monitored.
This anonymous self-check is for educational purposes and is not a diagnosis. Your answers and score are displayed only on your device. They are not sent to Sanevi Health Solutions, emailed, or stored by this website. This self-check is not monitored for emergencies.

Frequently asked
Questions about sleep & insomnia care
- Can lack of sleep cause nausea?
- Yes — poor sleep can leave you feeling physically sick. Sleep loss disrupts appetite and stress hormones, slows digestion, and raises anxiety, all of which can produce nausea, queasiness on waking, headaches, or dizziness. If nausea is persistent, severe, or paired with other physical symptoms, check in with your primary care provider to rule out medical causes; if it tracks with sleepless nights, stress, or anxiety, a psychiatric evaluation for the sleep problem itself often resolves it.
- What other physical symptoms can come from sleep deprivation?
- Common ones include headaches, muscle aches, an upset stomach, appetite changes, a racing heart, light-headedness, lowered pain tolerance, and getting sick more often. These are real physical effects of ongoing sleep loss — not something you're imagining — and they usually improve once sleep is treated.
- Is insomnia a psychiatric issue or a medical one?
- Often both. Sleep problems can be driven by anxiety, depression, or medication side effects — and by medical issues like sleep apnea or thyroid disease. Our evaluation looks at both angles and coordinates with your PCP when needed.
- Do you prescribe sleep medications?
- When appropriate. We favor non-medication approaches like CBT-I first, and when medication is used we prefer options with lower dependence risk and clear follow-up.
- Can you help if I already use sleep aids or alcohol to sleep?
- Yes. We take a non-judgmental approach and help you build a plan to sleep well without relying on substances that undermine long-term rest.
- Do I need a sleep study?
- Sometimes. If your history suggests sleep apnea or another sleep disorder, we'll coordinate with sleep medicine or your PCP to get the right workup.
