Sleep supports mood, memory and energy. Most people have the occasional poor night, but ongoing sleep problems can affect daily life.
If you are experiencing…
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep for several weeks
- Waking very early and being unable to go back to sleep
- Feeling unrefreshed despite enough time in bed
- Daytime tiredness or trouble concentrating
Possible contributors
Stress, worry, low mood, irregular routines, screen use before bed, caffeine, some medicines and physical health conditions can all affect sleep. An assessment can help determine what may apply to you.
Habits that may support better sleep
- Keeping regular sleep and wake times
- Limiting caffeine later in the day
- Reducing screens before bedtime
- Creating a calm, dark sleeping space
When professional help may be useful
If difficulties continue for weeks despite good habits, or are linked to stress, mood or other concerns, a consultation may be appropriate.
