What are Insomnia & Sleep Disorders?

LeftFlower

Sleep disorders are conditions that affect the quality, timing or duration of sleep. They can impact physical health, emotional wellbeing and day-to-day functioning. They are often associated with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and stress, although they can also occur independently.

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders and involves difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking earlier than intended and being unable to return to sleep. Insomnia can be short-term, often linked to stress or life events, or chronic, lasting for several months or longer.

People with insomnia often experience:

  • Difficulty falling asleep
  • Frequent waking during the night
  • Waking early in the morning
  • Non-restorative or poor-quality sleep
  • Daytime fatigue and tiredness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability and low mood
  • Reduced energy and motivation
If you’re experiencing any sleep difficulties that disrupt daily life, we can help you identify and address the underlying causes.
