Make 2026 the Year You Overcome Insomnia
If you’ve been struggling with sleepless nights, early wakeups, or constant tossing and turning, you’re not alone. Nearly one in three adults experiences insomnia, and for many, the condition becomes chronic. As we move into 2026, there has never been a better time to reclaim your nights and restore your energy, focus, and well-being. At Restful Sleep MD in Philadelphia, we help patients understand the root causes of their insomnia and build personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that lead to lasting, restorative sleep.
Insomnia isn’t just inconvenient — it affects every part of your life. Chronic sleep loss has been linked to increased risk of depression, heart disease, weight gain, and reduced immune function. According to the CDC, about 35% of Americans report sleeping fewer than seven hours per night, and the effects accumulate quickly. That’s why identifying what disrupts your sleep is the first and most important step toward real recovery.
Understanding the Causes of Insomnia
Insomnia can develop for many reasons, and often more than one factor is involved. Common contributors include:
Chronic stress
Anxiety or depression
Irregular sleep schedules
Poor sleep hygiene
Menopause or hormonal changes
Medical conditions such as sleep apnea, pain disorders, or GERD
Medications, caffeine, alcohol, or screen exposure
Lifestyle patterns that disrupt the body’s natural rhythm
Without addressing the underlying triggers, sleeplessness often persists — even if symptoms temporarily improve.
A Concierge Approach to Sleep Wellness
Restful Sleep MD offers a concierge-level model designed to give patients in Philadelphia and beyond a more supportive, accessible, and individualized experience. Instead of rushed appointments or generic recommendations, you receive thoughtful, high-touch care built around your specific challenges and goals.

Priority scheduling to eliminate long wait times
Direct access to Dr. Afolabi-Brown for questions and ongoing guidance

Evidence-Based Treatment Tailored to You
Dr. Brown crafts treatment plans using proven therapies that address both the symptoms of insomnia and the factors that sustain it.
Your plan may include:
CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia): Considered the gold-standard treatment, CBT-I has an up to 80% success rate and helps retrain your mind and body for healthier sleep patterns.
CPAP Therapy: For patients whose insomnia is linked to obstructive sleep apnea, CPAP helps prevent nighttime breathing disruptions that fragment sleep.
Medication Management: When appropriate, safe and effective sleep medications may be incorporated into short-term or long-term strategies.
Lifestyle & Sleep Hygiene Counseling: This includes guidance on routines, stress management, screen exposure, caffeine timing, and bedroom environment — all essential for lasting sleep improvement.
