What To Expect

The unsatisfactory duration or quality of sleep affects the state of health and performance during the day. It can slow down your reaction time and can increase the risk of long-term conditions. It can lead to considerable suffering. Insomnia can occur acutely and subside again, but under certain conditions (maladjustments on a physical, mental and psychological level) it can also become chronic.

Made Worse By

There are many causes for insomnia. Stress, poor sleep habits, eating too much late in the evening, mental health disorders, some medications, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol and many more common causes can be the reason for a restless night.

Diagnosed By

When dealing with sleep disturbances it's important to talk to a doctor or general practitioner. If a specific sleep disorder is suspected or if an already known sleep disorder persists it's best to visit a sleep medical centre
