My name is Brian A. Sharpless, Ph.D., and I am a licensed clinical psychologist trained at the University of Pennsylvania and Penn State University with over 20 years of experience treating sleep disorders and other conditions. In addition, I am a published author of books and articles on sleep disorders and other conditions as well as a frequent lecturer in the US and Europe.
Sleep Disorders can be Treated
Some sleep disorders receive a good bit of public attention (e.g., insomnia) whereas others are less well-known (e.g., isolated sleep paralysis, nightmare disorder, exploding head syndrome, sexsomnia, REM behavior disorder). Regardless of the specific subtype, any sleep disorder can have significant impacts on your health, well-being, work productivity, and overall quality of life. The good news is that - with proper treatment - many can be helped through a combination of psychotherapy and certain lifestyle modifications.
Professional Therapy is Not an Open-ended Commitment
I consider the ultimate goal of any therapy to no longer need therapy. How long it takes to reach that goal is unique to each patient's needs, level of severity, and personal motivation. Treatment for some disorders (e.g., insomnia; isolated sleep paralysis) can be relatively brief whereas others might take more time.
