Insomnia (sleep disorders) treated with hypnosis and hypnotherapy at the London Bridge Hypnotherapy Clinic

 

Insomnia is the inability to obtain either an adequate amount of sleep or the quality of sleep is poor. The difficulty can be in falling asleep, remaining asleep, or both. People suffering with sleeping disorders don't feel refreshed when they wake up. Sleep insomnia is a common problem affecting millions of people and often leading to irritability, exhaustion, poor concentration.

For mental and physical well-being sleep is essential. Insomnia is more common in women and older adults. People who are widowed, separated or divorced are more likely to have insomnia than those who are in a stable relationship.  Short-term (transient) insomnia is a common occurrence and generally lasts for only a few days. Long-term (chronic) insomnia tends to last more than three weeks and increases the risk of injuries in the home, the workplace, and while driving because of daytime sleepiness and decreased concentration. Chronic insomnia can also cause mood disorders such as depression.

Causes and symptoms of insomnia / sleep problems

Transient insomnia is often caused by a temporary situation in a person's life.  This could be an argument with your loved one, a medical illness, financial concerns or jet lag for example. When the situation is resolved the condition usually goes away generally without requiring any treatment.

Chronic insomnia usually has many different causes, and there may be more than one. These can include:

• a medical condition or its treatment (including sleep apnea)
• using stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine
• mood or anxiety disorders or other psychiatric conditions
• stress, for example sadness caused by the loss or death of a loved one
• loss of a job
• disturbed sleep caused by a change in work shift patterns
• difficulty with breathing e.g. snoring
• nightmares or panic attacks during sleep

When sleep patterns have been disturbed it can lead to excessive worrying about whether or not a person will be able to go to sleep, which creates even more anxiety and this can actually trigger insomnia. The more one worries about falling asleep, the harder it becomes.
