| Insomnia And Sleep Disorders If you can't sleep, or your sleep is disturbed in some way, you need to get help as soon as possible, because the physical, mental and emotional effects of sleep deprivation can be very serious. The health hazards of insufficient sleep are many: The impact on every aspect of a person's life and functioning are quickly evident to those suffering from the lack of regular good quality sleep, and to those around them. Besides the negative effects on physical health, there can be personality and behavior changes that are often quite pronounced. Most people have occasional sleep problems. A missed nights sleep or a restless night now and again are not unusual. The reasons are many and are often easily discernible. For example extra stress, or some difficult challenges emotionally or mentally. Any kind of temporary problem can interfere with a nights sleep occasionally. However, for those who have prolonged insomnia and/or sleep disturbances, it is a serious matter indeed. When you cannot sleep, your entire life is affected. The sense of frustration extends to every aspect of your existence. The lack of energy, the nervousness, the inability to cope, the struggle to manage the normal day to day routines is difficult enough, and any extra stress increases the strain and adds to the pressure. The feeling of not being able to stay awake and the sense of urgency to sleep during the day causes its own stress. Attempts to overcome the problem with drugs, either prescribed or over the counter, and even alcohol compound the difficulties by adding dependency to the list of problems. Unless you have experienced insomnia, it is hard to imagine the stress and pain it causes. Sometimes the difficulty is about not being able to fall asleep, for others it is not being able to stay asleep, waking and trying to go back to sleep unsuccessfully. And yet others have such brief nights of sleep, with days starting in the very early hours of the morning. Some people have nightmares, some have sleep disruptions, going to the toilet several times a night, and others have restless leg syndrome, and others various anxiety problems related to sleep. For some it is that they have developed poor sleep habits. The first step to overcoming the problem is identifying the causes, of which there could be many. Some are physical in nature, such as sleep apnea, myoclonia, and narcolepsy. Many problems originate in lifestyle changes, physical pain and/or health problems, high levels of stress and others are psychological in nature such as post traumatic stress syndrome.
