What it is
Insomnia means trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early, at least a few nights a week, and feeling it the next day. It’s often tied to stress, anxiety, low mood, shift work, alcohol, or a brain that won’t power down.
Sometimes poor sleep points to something like sleep apnea that needs its own workup. Either way, it’s worth taking seriously.
Common signs
- Lying awake running through tomorrow’s to-do list
- Waking at 3 a.m. and not getting back to sleep
- Needing caffeine to function and something to wind down
- Snoring, gasping, or waking up unrefreshed
- Foggy, short-tempered, or less sharp during the day
- Shift work or travel that’s wrecked your rhythm

FAQ
Will you prescribe sleeping pills?
The focus is on what’s driving the problem, starting with non-habit-forming options when medication helps. Controlled medications may be considered when clinically appropriate, with a check of Utah’s prescription monitoring database (PDMP) and a controlled-substance agreement, but no specific medication is guaranteed. The goal is sleep that holds up without leaning on a pill forever.
What if I think I have sleep apnea?
Corbin can screen for it and point you toward a sleep study through your primary care provider or a sleep clinic.
I work nights. Can you still help?
Yes. Shift workers and first responders are a big part of who Hatch is built for. Your plan is built around your actual schedule.
How long until I sleep better?
Many people notice a change within a few weeks once the plan fits their life.
