Sleepless nights can feel endless, but insomnia is more than just difficulty sleeping—it’s often a sign of deeper emotional pain. At Deer Hollow, we know that trauma and mental health challenges can keep you awake at night. Our trauma-focused approach to insomnia treatment is designed to help you address both the symptoms of sleeplessness and the root causes behind it. With our expert care, you can reclaim the rest you deserve.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or return to sleep after waking. It affects 25% of adults annually, with 10% experiencing chronic insomnia that disrupts their daily lives (American Academy of Sleep Medicine).
However, insomnia is often more than a sleep problem—it’s a symptom of deeper issues, such as unresolved trauma, anxiety, or depression. At Deer Hollow, we specialize in treating the root causes of insomnia to provide long-term relief and help you regain control of your life.
Insomnia can be caused by a variety of factors, but trauma is one of the most significant contributors. Research shows that 50–70% of individuals with PTSD experience chronic sleep problems, including insomnia (National Center for PTSD).
Trauma keeps the brain in a heightened state of alertness, making it difficult to relax and fall asleep. Flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance often disrupt rest.
Life changes, such as grief, divorce, or financial struggles, can create overwhelming stress that leads to acute or chronic insomnia.
Anxiety and depression are closely linked with insomnia. 75% of individuals with depression report significant sleep disturbances (Sleep Foundation).
Inconsistent schedules, excessive screen time, or stimulants like caffeine can worsen existing sleep problems.
Chronic pain, substance use disorders, and other medical issues can make restful sleep difficult to achieve.
At Deer Hollow, we tailor our treatments to address these underlying causes, providing a comprehensive approach to healing.
Insomnia doesn’t just affect your nights—it impacts your entire life. Symptoms include:
Insomnia is often a direct response to unresolved trauma. When your brain remains in “fight-or-flight” mode, restful sleep becomes nearly impossible. Here’s how trauma disrupts sleep:
Trauma keeps your brain on high alert, making it difficult to relax and feel safe enough to sleep.
Many individuals with trauma experience disturbing dreams or flashbacks, making sleep feel unsafe or impossible.
Unresolved trauma increases emotional sensitivity, leading to racing thoughts and heightened anxiety at night.
Trauma triggers elevated levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that interferes with the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
72% of individuals with PTSD report experiencing sleep disruptions, including insomnia and nightmares (National Center for PTSD). At Deer Hollow, we specialize in resolving the trauma that fuels insomnia, allowing you to find peace and restorative rest.
