Are you constantly feeling tired and finding yourself without any energy to do anything? It could be
a sign of a serious sleep disorder and not just daytime fatigue, and you are not alone. Sleep disorders have become prevalent in this day and age but what can you do to ensure the best night’s sleep and when to consult a doctor if a sleep disorder is causing your chronic tiredness?
Research has shown that anxiety is one of the major causes of sleepiness but that does not mean one has an anxiety disorder, rather the stress and worries occur at night when you try to sleep at night and the mind becomes alert keeping you awake or waking you up in the middle of the night and start thinking about the issues. If you are not able to sleep even after about 30 minutes or in the middle of the night, it is best to get up and sit in a dimly lit room doing something relaxing such as reading a book or doing breathing exercises until you feel sleepy again, and repeat if you are not asleep within about 30 minutes. This teaches the mind and body that bed is for sleep and over time your body
will adopt the ability to fall asleep and stay asleep on a nightly basis.
If you take sleep issues personally, try getting help by consulting a doctor instead when you had tried your best efforts or no matter how much you sleep but are still feeling tired and unmotivated most of the time as it could be a deeper underlying health issue. It is important to seek help as sleep is
fundamental to physical and mental well-being, just as nutrition and exercise are the pillars of health, give it the respect it needs. The doctor will help you get an accurate diagnosis via sleep apnea CPAP trial in the comfort of your home or an in lab sleep test to avoid any long-term issues and recommend an early intervention such as CPAP therapy with a sleep apnea device to stop snoring, get better quality of sleep, and healthier overall well-being.
