Individualized Sleep Medicine

Meaning

Individualized Sleep Medicine is a clinical approach that moves beyond standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols by integrating an individual’s unique genetic profile, chronotype, hormonal status, and lifestyle data to create a highly personalized sleep optimization plan. This paradigm recognizes that the optimal sleep duration, timing, and architecture are not universal but are biologically determined and vary significantly between individuals. The practice utilizes advanced diagnostics, including genetic testing and continuous physiological monitoring, to precisely align sleep interventions, such as light therapy, melatonin timing, or chrononutrition, with the patient’s intrinsic biological clock and homeostatic needs. This bespoke strategy maximizes therapeutic efficacy and long-term adherence.
