Poor sleep quality

What is Poor sleep quality?

Sleep is vital for our health and well-being. However, many people suffer from poor sleep quality which can negatively impact both physical and mental health.

Poor sleep quality refers to sleep that is insufficient in duration or inadequate in restorative quality. Someone with poor sleep typically has one or more of the following characteristics:

• Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Frequent awakenings during the night
• Non-restorative sleep that leaves one feeling tired the next day

There are many potential causes of poor sleep, including:

• Sleep disorders - Conditions like insomnia, sleep apnea, or restless leg syndrome can greatly disrupt sleep
• Poor sleep habits - Inconsistent bedtimes, excessive screen time before bed, uncomfortable sleep environment, etc.
• Medical conditions - Chronic diseases, medications, or pain issues may interfere with sleep
• Stress and anxiety - Racing thoughts and worry often prevent sound sleep

The effects of poor sleep really add up over time. Short and long term consequences may include:

• Fatigue, lack of focus and productivity
• Increased illness and disease risk
• Mood issues like irritability and depression
• Weight gain and cravings

If you consistently feel unrested during the day or have difficulty with sleep, it's important to take steps to improve sleep quality. Tips to try:

• Follow a relaxing pre-bed routine
• Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet and cool
• Limit screen time before bed
• Exercise regularly but not too late at night
• Consider cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)
