Professional Services
Sleep disorders are the most common health problem in the United States. The National Sleep Foundation reports that 76% of Americans experience symptoms of sleep disorders on a regular basis. A growing body of research indicates that sleep disorders are implicated in a wide range of illnesses including depression, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer. Excessive sleepiness is also a major cause of accidents and impaired work performance.
Dr. Naiman maintains a private practice limited to sleep and dream related issues. He also offers consultation and training for health and mental health professionals and organizations on sleep and dream health.
Dr. Naiman uses an integrative medicine approach to understand and manage sleep and dream health problems. An integrative approach, advocated by leading physicians such as Andrew Weil, M.D., blends the best of conventional healthcare with proven complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It is also a more comprehensive approach because it is sensitive to body, mind, as well as spiritual factors in healing.
Because sleep and psychiatric medications are frequently overused and are associated with significant health risks, Dr. Naiman emphasizes a variety of alternative approaches that are tailored to meet unique individual needs.

“Given what we know about the connection between mental health and poor sleep, many people might be better off just napping on their therapist’s couch.”
