What do sleep disorders feel like?

You may struggle to fall asleep, wake frequently, or feel tired during the day. Poor sleep can lead to irritability, difficulty concentrating, low mood, and reduced quality of life.

How to overcome sleep disorders with therapy

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is highly effective. Therapy helps you change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours around sleep, establish healthy routines, and manage stress. Medical evaluation may be needed for physical causes.

Through sleep disorder counselling, you can:

  • Identify and change habits that disrupt sleep

  • Manage stress and anxiety affecting sleep

  • Develop a consistent sleep routine

  • Improve energy and overall wellbeing

Step-by-step guide to managing sleep disorders

  • Track your sleep: Keep a diary of sleep patterns and habits.

  • Seek professional help: Consult a GP or sleep specialist for assessment.

  • Engage in CBT-I: Learn techniques to improve sleep quality and manage insomnia.

  • Practise good sleep hygiene: Set regular sleep times, limit screens, and create a restful environment.

  • Address stress: Use relaxation techniques to unwind before bed.
