Difficulty falling asleep, unable to fall asleep even after going to bed. Mid-night awakening, where you wake up many times after falling asleep. Hypersomnia during the day makes you feel sleepy during the day no matter how much sleep you get.
When I lie down, my legs feel itchy and fidgety, which is a painful symptom. Symptoms include heavy snoring and difficulty breathing when sleeping. I can’t fall asleep early at night, and I can’t wake up at all in the morning, and when I wake up in the morning, I’m not feeling well.
Currently, one in five people is said to have some kind of sleep problem. These common problems related to sleep and wakefulness are classified as “sleep disorders” and are diagnosed and treated according to standards* that exist worldwide.

However, Japan does not yet have a “sleep department” and there are few medical institutions that deal with a wide range of sleep problems, so there are few places where patients with the above problems can go first.
Therefore, Sleep Health Research Medical Corporation will open a new sleep primary care clinic in Akihabara, Tokyo, following the currently crowded sleep primary care clinic Ikebukuro.
* About sleep disorders and their treatment *
Each sleep disorder has different causes and different treatments. Even if the symptom is simply that you can’t sleep at night, it may be due to problems with sleep hygiene (lifestyle habits and behaviors that affect sleep) such as caffeine or light environment, or whether the timing or environment in which you are trying to sleep is inappropriate. We will find out the cause, such as whether it is difficult to sleep at night because your body clock is extremely night owl, whether it is due to stress or anxiety, or whether you are unable to sleep because of body tingling, pain, or itching, and provide advice and treatment tailored to the cause. will do. For this reason, actually
Prescription of sleeping pills is not the first choice at sleep outpatient clinics*
. This is also clearly stated in the guidelines.
This clinic aims to create an environment where patients can receive primary care for sleep, before relying too easily on nightcaps and over-the-counter medications, or receiving ill-advised prescriptions for sleeping pills that do not consider the cause of sleep problems. . * https://sleep1.jp/bzd1/
