CONDITION
Insomnia
You know the feeling: the clock says 2 a.m., your body is exhausted, and your mind won’t switch off. Confidence Clinic provides insomnia treatment in San Antonio, TX that digs into why your sleep has changed, so you can finally get the rest your body has been asking for.
WHY SLEEP MATTERS
Good sleep isn't a luxury.
Sleep is when your body does its most important maintenance. It repairs muscles, balances hormones, sorts and stores memories, and resets your appetite and blood sugar for the next day. When your sleep is short or broken night after night, you feel it in your mood, focus, weight, and immune system.
Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early at least a few nights a week, even when you have time to rest. It’s rarely random. More often, it’s a sign that something else has shifted, such as your hormones, your stress levels, your breathing at night, or habits that slowly crept in.
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, about 50 to 70 million Americans have sleep or wakefulness disorders.
Lasting insomnia treatment in San Antonio, TX starts with finding out what’s keeping you up. Through our hormone and testosterone therapy services, Ivette Reyes, APRN, FNP-C, can check whether changing hormones are part of the problem and build a plan around your results.

THE ROOT OF IT
What keeps you up at night?
Hormone Shifts
Falling estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause and menopause, low testosterone, and high cortisol can all disrupt your sleep and trigger night sweats.
Stress, Anxiety, and a Racing Mind
Ongoing stress keeps your nervous system on alert, making it harder to wind down and easier to wake up.
Sleep-Disrupting Habits
Late caffeine, evening alcohol, screens in bed, and an irregular sleep schedule can confuse your body’s internal clock.
Breathing Problems During Sleep
Sleep apnea and heavy snoring cause repeated pauses in breathing that pull you out of deep sleep. Our primary care services can help screen for it and coordinate further testing.
Medical Conditions and Medications
Thyroid problems, acid reflux, chronic pain, low iron, restless legs, and certain medications can all interfere with sleep.
Weight and Blood Sugar
Extra weight raises the risk of sleep apnea, and blood sugar swings overnight can wake you up feeling restless or hungry.
SLEEP CONCERNS WE ADDRESS
Every sleep problem has its own pattern.
Trouble Falling Asleep
Lying awake for a long time at bedtime, often tied to stress, habits, or an off-schedule body clock.
Waking Up During the Night
Sleep that keeps breaking, which can point to hormones, breathing problems, pain, or blood sugar dips.
Early Morning Waking
Waking hours before your alarm and being unable to drift back off, often linked to stress or mood changes.
Menopause-Related Sleep Problems
Night sweats, hot flashes, and lighter sleep that come with shifting estrogen and progesterone.
Stress-Related Insomnia
Sleeplessness that started during a stressful season and stuck around even after the stress eased.
Low Testosterone and Poor Sleep
In men, low testosterone and poor sleep often feed into each other, affecting energy, mood, and recovery.
Suspected Sleep Apnea

Unrefreshing Sleep and Daytime Fatigue
Getting hours of sleep but still waking up drained. Learn more about how we approach fatigue and low energy.
OUR PROCESS
How Our Insomnia Treatment in San Antonio, TX Works
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 12% of Americans said they had been diagnosed with chronic insomnia, and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the most effective treatment. That’s why we focus on root causes and better sleep habits before reaching for a sleeping pill.
- Sleep and Health Review
We go over your sleep patterns, caffeine and alcohol use, medications, and stress, and screen for signs of sleep apnea.
- Lab Testing
Depending on your symptoms, we may check hormones, thyroid function, iron, vitamin D, and blood sugar.
- Treating What's Behind It
Your plan may include hormone balancing, correcting nutrient gaps, or weight and blood sugar support, based on what your results show.
- Better Sleep Habits and Referrals
We share practical strategies drawn from CBT-I and refer you for a sleep study or a CBT-I specialist when you need one.
