ISSUES TREATED
SLEEP PROBLEMS
We all know that sleep is essential for our mental and physical health. Sleep problems can feel absolutely debilitating. Whether it’s difficulty with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, it can lead to a cascade of negative consequences. We can then become stuck in a cycle of fearing not being able to sleep.
A lack of sleep can have many psychological effects:
Increased anxiety and stress
Difficulty in regulating emotions
A vicious cycle of anticipating another restless night, making it harder to sleep
Depression and mood swings
An effect on mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin - this causes irritability, sadness and emotional instability
Cognitive impairment and poor concentration
Impairment in attention, memory, and problem-solving skills
Difficulty with decision-making, forgetfulness, and reduced performance at work or in daily tasks
Increased irritability and emotional reactivity
Small irritations or frustrations become overwhelming
Effects on relationships, work performance and overall happiness
Impaired judgment
Hasty decisions
Impulsive behaviours
Low energy
Physical and mental fatigue throughout the day
Reduced motivation and drive for daily activities
