What causes sleep problems?

Many things can cause sleeping problems. These include:

• Working unusual or irregular hours (shift-work)
• Work-related or financial stress
• Emotional stress
• Travelling to new time zones or jetlag
• Bad sleeping habits that have become entrenched
• Health issues that are currently disrupting your sleep
• Change in routine

Difficulty falling asleep?

One of the main causes of difficulty of falling asleep is stress, which is often undiagnosed by the sufferer. Stress can manifest as the 'mental chatter' that can keep us awake when we're trying to fall asleep. Worry and frustration can also trigger greater alertness, prolonging wakefulness. Another cause is a disturbance of the body clock (such as jet lag or shift work).

Difficulty staying asleep?

Awakenings during the night are part of a normal sleep pattern, however these awakenings are usually brief, and often not remembered. If they are lengthy and associated with daytime fatigue, they can become problematic. Waking during the night can become a habit and can be made worse by staying in bed worrying about getting back to sleep (which will trigger your ‘fight or flight’ response and waken you further).

Waking up too early?

‘Early morning awakening’ is when you wake too early in the morning and are unable to fall back asleep.  This means you may have an early timed body clock. If you're waking too early often it's likely you're not getting the sleep you need, and as a result may feel tired during the day.
