Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center (805-557-9930) has announced its diagnosis and treatment services for individuals suffering from insomnia in Oxnard.
—
Following the announcement, the center is now accepting appointments from patients who suffer from disrupted or restless sleep. Once their primary care physician has ruled out other medical issues as the cause, individuals suffering from insomnia can be referred to Dr. Popper who will evaluate their condition and devise a treatment plan.

Depending on the patient’s unique circumstances and symptoms, Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center will provide stimulus control, sleep restriction, relaxation training and feedback, or other forms of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The team explains that patients who experience insomnia find it difficult to get to sleep, be restless throughout the night, and find themselves waking up early. Moreover, the sleep they do manage to get may not leave them feeling rested or refreshed. As a result, they often report symptoms of fatigue, irritability, and impaired cognition throughout the day, the center adds.
At a screening appointment, Dr. Popper will thoroughly assess the patient to identify any disorder and determine the most suitable course of treatment. The 'CBT-I' (Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) treatment plan developed by the specialist may incorporate therapeutic techniques to improve a patient's sleep hygiene and address the underlying causes of the disorder, rather than just treating the symptoms.
For example, he may recommend stimulus control, a form of CBT that revolves around inhibiting the patient’s negative thought patterns around their disorder, such as an association between their bedroom and not being able to fall asleep.
“The ultimate goal is to eradicate your self-imposed anxiety over your inability to fall asleep and to allow you to fall asleep without intrusive negative thoughts”, a spokesperson for Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center explained.
The center may also recommend sleep restriction methods that are intended to reduce the amount of time individuals lay awake at night, struggling to sleep. Similarly to the stimulus and cognitive control therapies, the sleep restriction therapy re-trains the patient’s brain to associate their bed and bedroom with sleeping, rather than with anxiety around not being able to sleep.
Dr. Popper may use these treatment methods to address his patients’ insomnia in conjunction with prescription sleeping medications and sleeping aids, as well as anti-anxiety medicines.
