Psychological Effects of Insomnia

Psychological Effects of Chronic Insomnia

Insomnia is a big problem and the sleep deprivation associated with it can cause more harm than good. Not only do those suffering from chronic insomnia miss out on valuable rest and rejuvenation, they also are at increased risk for depression, PTSD, and suicide. Fortunately, there are measures that can be taken to mitigate the damage, but the first line of defense is your own brain.

Studies

Several studies have attempted to quantify the sleep deprivation impact on various populations, with some findings suggesting that the average adult experiences a significant reduction in quality of life in the absence of adequate sleep. The AASM’s Sleep and Health survey suggest that more than half of Americans are affected by some form of sleep disturbance during the pandemic.

Proven treatments

The good news is that there are several proven, and effective, sleep-enhancing treatments that have been developed, tested, and refined over the past several years. For example, there are a variety of devices that can provide patients with an electrical pulse at the onset of sleep. Other technologies include biofeedback and hypnotherapy, which combine the benefits of both sleep therapy and psychotherapy. As for sleep in general, many physicians have cited the importance of a sound night’s sleep as one of their most important priorities.

Habits

The most effective strategies involve minimizing disruptions to your normal routine, such as turning off the television and computer at night and avoiding caffeine in the afternoon. These tactics have been shown to significantly improve sleep, and may be the best means of prevention for those with chronic insomnia.
