Insomnia & sleep disorders |
|
|
You have trouble falling asleep. Or you wake up in the middle of the night. You're lying awake, pondering the emotional and spiritual significance of insomnia, feeling very alone. Well, if you're experiencing sleeping disorders, you're not alone. About half of Americans (48%) report lying awake at night due to stress. (Source: American Psychological Association study, 2007). We do not know for sure what causes insomnia. A widespread notion is that insomnia is caused by worries. While some sleep experts agree with this, not all do. Dr. Bonnet, director of the sleep laboratory at the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center, believes insomnia reflects the fact that insomniacs have higher heart rates and body temperatures: "Their furnace is turned up higher". Dr. Perlis, director of the sleep research laboratory at the University of Rochester, also sees insomnia as a predisposition rather than the result of excessive worrying. "Some people say you are awake because you are worrying. I would say you are worrying because you are awake." Source: The New York Times (1/13/04) |
