Understanding Our Need
for Sleep
Most of us don't get enough sleep for various reasons; however, our bodies are designed to need sufficient rest.
Researchers indicate that sleep is an activity that restores, balances, and regulates the body, and helps to conserve our energy (Sadock and Sadock, 2004).
Sadock and Sadock (2004) assert that sleep disturbance is an early sign that a mental health disorder may be possible.
Below are some types of sleep disorders and respective basic definitions:
Insomnia: Difficulty in getting to and staying sleep and is the most common sleep complaint.
Narcolepsy: Excessive day sleepiness.
Sleep Apnea: Cessation of airflow at the nose or the mouth.
Sleep Walking: Leaving the bed and walking about without full consciousness or memory.
Shift Work Type: Repeated and rapid change in one's work schedule that causes a mix of insomnia and sleepiness and possibly the tendency to fall asleep in the waking state.
Whats the bottom line?
Do your best to get sufficient rest and if you experience the above symptoms, seek help from your physician and therapist, respectively.
