HOW INSOMNIA AND ANXIETY EATS YOU UP



 HOW INSOMNIA AND ANXIETY EATS YOU UP 


Do you struggle to sleep at night? When feeling fatigued when you wake up, here's why! 

Anxiety is the cause of this. 

It's your body's normal reaction to stress when you're worried about what's going to happen next. If you experience anxiety regularly, you may have an anxiety condition.

 

Is anxiety the cause of insomnia, or is insomnia the source of anxiety?

If you suffer from anxiety, you will undoubtedly experience insomnia. Anxiety disorders are made worse by lack of sleep. Insomnia can worsen the symptoms of anxiety disorders or prevent them from getting better. Anxiety can also contribute to sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or nightmares.

 

How is anxiety inter-related to insomnia?

If you have anxiety, you will have so many thoughts in and around your head that it will naturally keep you up, resulting in insomnia.

When a person is anxious, their mind goes through multiple thoughts per minute, and this storm of thoughts causes sleeplessness; the body works in delta sleep and never gets a normal one, and dreams become thoughts that cannot be controlled by the individual.

 

So, what are some of the reasons for anxiety? 

People who suffer from anxiety may be highly apprehensive and tense. This might cause impatience and restlessness by affecting their focus and mood. Their sense of impending doom or panic can feel overwhelming and out of control. This, in turn, leads to other mental health issues such as depression and overthinking.

 

 For anxiety relief and improved sleep, one of our close friends gave us this conventional advice: "Join a gym and work out," "Practice healthy eating habits," "Sleep early and avoid drinking espresso," and so on. We have tried every one of these so far, and we know people who work out every day and appear to be no less anxious because of doing these things daily, particularly meditation, which can provide mental calm.
