The Epidemic of Sleep Deprivation: Anxiety, Stress

 

How many of us lie awake at night, with ruminating thoughts, unable to fall asleep? Or we finally nod off, only to reawaken and cannot get back again.

According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, about one in three suffer from Insomnia at least periodically. Insomnia persisting for over a month is considered a chronic condition, affecting 1 in 10.

Night after night, unable to sleep, we may become anxious, or fearful about getting to sleep, making the situation worse. Disturbed sleep is often a reaction to stressors, or trauma, causing the problem to spiral.

According to LENS founder Dr Len Ochs, sleep disturbance may involve a pervasive, underlying CNS dysregulation, characterized by delayed sleep onset, or DFA, nocturnal awakening ( broken sleep), or waking unrefreshed, daytime sleepiness and fatigue.

Disrupted sleep can be a consequence of Anxiety, PTSD, Panic Attacks, chronic stress and tension, emotional, mental or physical pain. LENS therapy can address these multiple factors and conditions by helping patients in regulating their autonomic nervous system and balancing of their EEG.
