Quick Intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong is an English-friendly internal-medicine clinic in Gangnam offering same-day IV therapy with doctor oversight. We’re on the 3rd floor of Beneheim City, 162 Apgujeong-ro, a short walk from Apgujeong Station (Exit 5).

What Is a “Sleep Support IV”?

A non-sedating, clinic-supervised IV focused on hydration and adjunct nutrients that can support nighttime rest when poor sleep follows jet lag, stress, or illness. After a brief medical check, your physician tailors the drip to your needs.

Typical components (case-by-case):

  • Balanced IV fluids for rehydration
  • Electrolytes as appropriate
  • Adjuncts sometimes considered (e.g., B-vitamins, magnesium) only if clinically suitable
This IV is not a sleeping pill or anesthesia. Formulation and dosing are individualized after evaluation; not everyone is a candidate.

Who It May Help

  • Travelers with jet lag or disrupted sleep routines
  • Shift workers or visitors with short-term schedule changes
  • People recovering from mild illness/dehydration who struggle to sleep well
  • Busy professionals seeking English-friendly, supportive care in Gangnam

Evidence & Expectations (Read Me)

  • IV hydration can help you feel steadier and reduce fatigue that interferes with sleep.
  • Nutrient adjuncts are supportive, not curative. Good sleep still depends on routine, light timing, caffeine/alcohol habits, and stress management.
  • For chronic insomnia, CBT-I and personalized medical plans have the best evidence. We’ll advise on safe next steps.

When to Seek Urgent Care (Skip the IV Clinic)

Go to emergency care for chest pain, severe shortness of breath, confusion, fainting, new neurologic deficits, high persistent fever, or suspected alcohol/drug withdrawal. If you have severe depression or thoughts of self-harm, seek urgent help.

Visit Flow (Typically 60–90 Minutes)

  1. Check-in & history → sleep pattern, recent travel, symptoms, meds, allergies.
  2. Focused exam → vitals; point-of-care tests if needed.
  3. Plan & consent → candidacy confirmed, IV components selected, clear pricing.
  4. IV session → 30–60 minutes in a comfortable room with monitoring.
  5. Discharge guidance → simple sleep strategy in clear English; prescriptions/referrals if appropriate.

Safety Notes & Interactions

Tell the team if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, have kidney, heart, or liver disease, G6PD deficiency, or take diuretics/anticoagulants.
 Common mild effects: brief chill/flush, metallic taste, small bruise at IV site. Seek care for persistent dizziness, chest pain, or breathing difficulty.

After-Care: Same Night Sleep Checklist

  • Hydrate: water or oral rehydration through the day.
  • Light timing: get morning light exposure; dim lights 2–3 hours before bed.
  • Caffeine cut-off: none after mid-afternoon. Avoid alcohol at night.
  • Wind-down: warm shower, screens off 60 minutes before bed, cool/dark room.
  • Supplements/meds: discuss safe use (e.g., melatonin timing) with the physician.
  • Consistent schedule: wake time fixed for several days.

FAQs

Is this IV a sedative?
No. It does not put you to sleep. It supports hydration and comfort so sleep routines work better.

Will it cure insomnia?
No. It’s supportive. For persistent insomnia, we discuss CBT-I, sleep hygiene, and medical causes.

How fast will I feel better?
Many feel steadier within hours to a day as hydration improves. Sleep quality typically improves as routines and light timing are corrected.

Can I combine this with melatonin or sleep meds?
Possibly—only if medically appropriate. The physician will advise safe timing and interactions.

How often can I have it?
Frequency depends on your history and goals (e.g., travel schedule). Your doctor will recommend safe intervals.
