Unlocking Better Sleep
What causes Insomnia?
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects approximately 35% of adults. People with insomnia have trouble falling, staying, or getting enough sleep. This can result in exhaustion during the day, an increased risk of car accidents, and overall health problems due to insufficient rest.
Insomnia can be caused by various factors such as stress, irregular sleep patterns, bad sleep habits, mental health issues, physical illnesses or pain, certain medications, neurological problems, and specific sleep disorders. Often, it is a combination of these factors that trigger or worsen insomnia.
It's worth noting that not everyone experiences insomnia in the same way. The effects of insomnia can vary significantly based on the underlying cause, severity, and presence of other health issues.
The Science of Sleep
What is Sleep?
Sleep is a natural response in our body connected to how our brain works. It occurs when certain parts of our brain slow down, especially in the outer layer called the cerebral cortex. When this slowing down is happening more, the more you're in a state of sleep.
Our sleep journey involves distinct stages, with the two main categories as follows:
- REM (Rapid Eye Movement)
REM sleep, with its vivid dreams. During REM sleep, your eyes move rapidly, your brain is more active.
REM sleep is crucial for dealing with emotions, solidifying memories, and learning.
- NREM (Non-Rapid Eye Movement).
NREM stages range from light to deep sleep. It's a vital phase for the body's repair, muscle growth, and strengthening of the immune system. During this stage, brain waves slow down significantly, making it hard to wake you up.
The importance of Sleep
Have you ever wondered why we need sleep?
Sleep is when the body repairs tissues, builds bone and muscle and strengthens the immune system. Growth hormone, essential for development and repair, is mainly released during deep sleep.
- Cognitive Functions
Sleep is critical in memory consolidation, learning, and problem-solving skills. During Rapid Eye Movement (REM
sleep), the brain organises and stores memories, making sense of the day's experiences.
- Emotional Regulation
Lack of sleep can make us more susceptible to stress, anxiety, and mood swings. REM sleep helps process emotions, promoting mental health.
