Overview

About Insomnia

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both, despite having the opportunity for adequate sleep.


This condition can have significant consequences on both physical and mental health. Chronic insomnia may lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and decreased productivity. It can also increase the risk of developing serious health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, anxiety, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, insomnia can impair cognitive function, weaken the immune system, and even shorten life expectancy.

The effects of sleep deprivation can be hazardous when it comes to activities like driving, as it can significantly increase the risk of accidents. Given these potential consequences, it's crucial for individuals experiencing persistent sleep difficulties to seek medical attention and explore treatment options, which may include lifestyle changes, cognitive behavioral therapy, or medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

This practice has treated me and my husband for about 11 years. Seen me through some very traumatic medical conditions and been the most nurturing professional and caring primary Doctor I’ve had in my lifetime. I consider Dr Zafar an above and beyond kind of person and practitioner. And I absolutely adore her front desk folks!! The absolute best. You will never feel unheard or cared for here.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Zafar for almost 10 years now. She has been there for me through so much. Kind and Compassionate doesn’t begin to cover it. And her team is really kind and caring too. Dr. Zafar does excellent with patient education and answers any and all questions, very easy to talk to. She is your biggest cheerleader when it comes to your health!
