The Silent Killers - Stress & Sleep

Anxiety and depression can interfere with the ability to fall asleep, as well as quality and duration. Lack of sleep can lead to higher levels of stress, frustration, depression and anxiety.

Dealing with Stress (an important part of human biology that allows people to react quickly and decisively in the face of challenging or dangerous situations. However, too much stress can have a profound impact on sleep and overall health.

Brain activity fluctuates during sleep, increasing and decreasing during different sleep stage that make up the sleep cycle. Each stage plays a role in brain health, allowing activity in different parts of the brain to ramp up or down and enabling better thinking, learning, and memory. Research has also uncovered that brain activity during sleep has profound effects on emotional and mental health, including dealing with stress.

Stress and sleep have a reciprocal relationship. High levels of stress can contribute to trouble sleeping, and poor-quality or insufficient sleep can lead to maladaptive changes to the stress response.

CBT helps you find out which thoughts and behaviors cause sleep problems or make them worse. You learn how to replace these thoughts and behaviors with habits that support sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT helps you overcome the causes of your sleep problems.)
