Are you too anxious to sleep? Do you lie in bed scrolling on your phone or watching TV until your eyes can no longer physically stay open? Well, according to experts, you might have a form of sleep anxiety 👇 🛌
‘Nightmares create a negative feeling towards sleep and going to bed in general. But this lack of sleep can severely impair mental cognition and our health.’
‘Scrolling on our mobiles is a coping mechanism of distraction and also as we get a dopamine release from scrolling, so chemically we can feel relaxed and rewarded,’ says Laura. ‘Having your head buried in emails or checking social media right up until lights out can stimulate our minds, making it difficult to fall asleep in the first place. You should give yourself a technology cut-off time – I’d recommend at least 60 minutes before bed,’ she says.‘Recent studies have found that reading is one of the more effective things you can do to reduce sleep anxiety as the mind is distracted and body is relaxed, this will reduce symptoms of sleep anxiety,’ Katherine tells Metro.
