Sleep helps your body grow strong. Sleep helps your mind feel calm. But when stress holds you up at night, hours can seem prolonged and draining.
Most individuals spend their days in bed worrying. Some wake up again and again. Some are frightened during the night. When this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone.
Anxiety and sleep problems influence a wide range of ages.
CK Wellness, PLLC, supports people who struggle with anxiety and sleep disorders.
Below, we will help you understand when it is time to seek help for anxiety-related sleep problems.
Can Anxiety Cause Sleep Problems?
Yes. Anxiety can make your mind feel like it’s constantly racing. Heart beats fast, body is tight and even when you are so tired, your brain will not relax.
Some people even experience anxiety while sleeping, waking up suddenly with fear or confusion.
How Does Anxiety Affect Sleep?
Anxiety keeps you awake, thinking danger is near, even in a safe place.
Some common anxiety effects on sleep are:
- Trouble falling asleep
- Waking up many times
- Bad dreams
- Sweating or shaking
- Fast heartbeat
- Feeling tired in the morning
These are also called sleep anxiety symptoms.
Some people even feel anxiety while sleeping. They wake up suddenly with fear and do not know why.
Sleep Deprivation and Anxiety Can Create a Cycle
When sleep problems persist, a cycle may begin. Sleep deprivation and anxiety may be mutual. Sleep deprivation may cause anxiety. Increased anxiety can then make it even harder to sleep.
This can cause anxiety and lead to sleep loss every night. Over time, individuals can be very exhausted, emotional and overwhelmed. Daily life can become more challenging.
Early support is important because of this. CK Wellness, PLLC, works to break this cycle by treating anxiety and sleep disorders at the same time.
