Understanding What May Be Affecting Your Sleep
Insomnia is often connected to underlying factors that disrupt sleep patterns and relaxation. Some of the most common causes of insomnia that we address in therapy include:
Stress and Anxiety
Worries about work, relationships, or daily life can make it difficult to relax and fall asleep.
Poor Sleep Habits
Irregular sleep schedules, stimulating activities before bed, and an uncomfortable sleep environment can all contribute to insomnia.
Lifestyle Factors
Diet, exercise, and caffeine or alcohol consumption can affect sleep quality, leading to difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
Medical Conditions
Physical health issues, such as chronic pain, breathing disorders, or hormonal imbalances, can interfere with restful sleep.
Mental Health Issues
Conditions like depression, PTSD, or general anxiety disorder often affect sleep patterns, making restful nights harder to achieve.
Substance Use and Dependency
The use of certain medications or dependence on sleep aids can disrupt the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
Each individual’s experience with insomnia is unique, and therapy offers a path to understanding and addressing these factors in a supportive, holistic environment.
