Know that you're not alone.
Dr. Espie explains that sleeping poorly just by itself can put you at risk for developing illness in the future. It can also have a negative impact on existing health conditions. Everyone at one time or another experiences restricted or poor-quality sleep, making it easy to understand how not getting a good night's rest can create havoc on an individual's ability to function the next day.
As nice as it is to sleep well at night, it's not simply a comforting thing to do. But rather, Dr. Espie tells us,"It is a fundamental requirement of life. In fact, you could survive for three times as long without food as you could without sleep. Fortunately, of course, we would begin to fall asleep involuntarily because you can't remain awake indefinitely—just like you can't hold your breath.
If you're having long-term problems sleeping, meaning a couple of weeks to even months, Dr. Espie suggests,"Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be most effective and is recommended by leading clinical guidelines." CBT teaches individuals techniques to deal with the cognitive or mental elements associated with not sleeping—things like a"racing mind" and how to address the worry and adverse feelings caused by the inability to sleep.
