What do Psychiatrists & Neurologists Specializing in Sleep Medicine do?
Psychiatrists and neurologists specializing in sleep medicine diagnose and treat sleep disorders, such as insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and parasomnias, by evaluating symptoms, ordering tests such as sleep studies, and managing conditions with medication, devices (such as CPAP machines), or behavioral changes.
Neurologists often focus on disorders with a neurological basis, like narcolepsy, while psychiatrists may focus on sleep issues linked to mental health conditions, like insomnia.
What they do
Diagnose Sleep Disorders: They identify a wide range of sleep problems, including:
- Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep.
- Narcolepsy: Falling asleep at inappropriate times.
- Sleep Apnea: Pauses in breathing during sleep.
- Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): An urge to move the legs that disrupts sleep.
- Parasomnias: Abnormal behaviors during sleep, such as sleepwalking or nightmares.
- Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Disruptions to the body’s internal sleep-wake cycle.
Evaluate Patients: They conduct physical exams and take detailed sleep histories to understand a patient’s symptoms.
Order and Interpret Tests: Specialists use tools like overnight sleep studies (polysomnography) to monitor sleep patterns and diagnose sleep disorders.
Create Treatment Plans: Treatments may include:
Medications: Prescriptions for conditions such as restless leg syndrome or sleep aids.
Devices include CPAP machines for sleep apnea.
Behavioral Interventions: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for insomnia or recommendations for changing sleep routines.
Lifestyle Changes: Advice on sleep hygiene to promote better sleep.
Neurologists vs. Psychiatrists in Sleep Medicine
Neurologists often specialize in sleep disorders with a strong neurological component, such as narcolepsy, which affects the brain’s regulation of sleep-wake cycles.
Psychiatrists may focus on sleep issues that are closely linked to mental health, such as insomnia that arises from depression or anxiety.
The Interdisciplinary Approach
A care team can include neurologists, psychiatrists, pulmonologists, psychologists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care.
Sleep medicine is a multidisciplinary field, and specialists often work as part of a team.
