Medication-Related Sleep Problems

When Medications Interfere with Sleep

Some medications, including certain antidepressants, stimulants, and steroids, can interfere with normal sleep patterns. These effects may appear as difficulty falling asleep, vivid dreams, or early awakenings.

Our psychiatrists carefully review your full medication list to determine whether timing, dosage, or drug interactions could be disrupting your sleep. When necessary, we collaborate with your other providers to adjust regimens safely.

Our process includes:

• Reviewing all prescriptions and supplements for potential sleep impact.
• Adjusting dosing schedules to minimize nighttime stimulation.
• Recommending alternative medications if appropriate.

Even small medication changes can make a meaningful difference in your ability to sleep soundly. Experiencing sleep issues while taking medication? Schedule an appointment to review your treatment plan with one of our psychiatrists.
