Posted on | November 8, 2009 | No Comments
Lack of sleep can seriously impact our lives, leaving us with no energy to enjoy our daily activities. Worse it can cause loss of libido and sexual performance, memory difficulties, headaches, hallucinations, judgement, coordination and concentration – the latter three potentially causing accidents.
If you’re experiencing difficulties sleeping then it could be one of several causes and it’s important that you get to the route of the problem so that you can treat it and return your energy levels to normal. Bellow are a list of possible causes, their symptoms and basic treatments.
Chronic pain – Chronic pain is unpleasant during the best of times but during the night it can be enough to prevent us from getting a good night’s sleep and keep us tossing and turning or sleeping lightly. Obvious ways to deal with this problem are those associated with general pain management such as taking pain killers, though sleeping aids may also help.
Night terrors – Night terrors are an unusual phenomenon that are akin to ‘waking nightmares’. In these the sufferer normally wakes up scared and usually screaming with an urgent desire to ‘escape’. They are normally impossible to rouse at this stage and can be caused by poor diet or lack of sleep. Usually they occur in infants.
