Well, that’s what we’re here to discover: so read on to learn more about your options!
Causes of Sleep Issues
The troubling thing about this condition is that direct causes are often rather difficult to pin down for most people. Doctors believe that heightened heart rate, higher body temperatures, indigestion, hormone levels, family history, gender, age, and mental health disorders all play a role in sleep problems.
As a result, it’s often more a symptom than a condition, i.e., it’s your body telling you something is wrong! Much of the time, it’s likely psychological: people staying up all night worrying about money, their family, friends, etc., and struggling to fall asleep properly. Sadly, sustained cases can be troubling.
Effects of Poor Sleep
At Florida Sleep Specialists, Dr. McConnell takes insomnia for Bradenton and Sarasota, FL, residents very seriously! Poor sleep isn’t just tiring but potentially damaging to your body. Memory issues, cognitive decline, mood changes, weakened immunity, and high blood pressure: all come from poor sleep.
Shockingly, this problem might even increase your heart disease and diabetes risks, lower your sex drive, and even cause weight gain. Thankfully, therapy is possible — often, it focuses on managing the underlying symptoms that trigger your sleep problems to ensure that you can rest easier at night every day.
Better Sleep Strategies
Depending on your causes, we’ll prescribe various care options that should reduce your symptoms. We may also recommend cognitive behavioral therapy and changes to lifestyle habits that may help you establish better sleep habits and decrease anxiety. In severe cases, sleep medications are necessary: we try to use these only when necessary, though.
Utilizing sleep strategies, i.e., techniques that help you fall asleep faster and better can also help! Establish consistent schedules (go to sleep at the same time every day), turn off your devices two hours before sleep, and avoid caffeine or other stimulants after four o’clock in the afternoon to sleep better.
