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.

I've trusted Dr. Zafar and her team at Auria Medical Clinics for 3 years and they do not disappoint. I know I'm getting excellent medical care and have used them for both in person and virtual appointments. She listens and provides insightful feedback that helps me to manage my health and wellness. Great job to her team in assuring my lab appointments are set up and ready when I arrive. I highly recommend!

Dr. Araghi is wonderful. His office staff is so nice and they move efficiently. Both visits I've had to his office were pleasant and Dr Araghi was on time for the appointments. I appreciate him keeping a great schedule and being considerate of my time. I Will definitely visit for any future needs.
