Causes of insomnia

Insomnia can be described as poor quality sleep due to many causes including difficulty with getting to sleep, staying asleep for an inadequate amount of time, waking frequently during the night, difficultly returning to sleep, waking up too early in the morning or feeling unrefreshed after sleep.  

It is very common for people to have difficulties with sleep - in fact, it could be as high as one in three of us. The causes of disrupted sleep could be one of many, for example, a noisy or busy sleep environment, stressful life events that you can’t switch off from, working shifts or even your diet. It’s not always easy to get consistently good sleep, however, sleep is so important to your health and wellbeing.

How to improve your sleep quality

This online Sleep Awareness course incorporates and adds to the information provided in the Healthy Living Awareness course. It aims to develop your understanding of the importance of sleep, and how it can affect your health and wellbeing. It also looks at tools and techniques to help you improve your sleep, such as incorporating a sleep routine, adapting your sleep environment and being more active. This course also includes information on how stress can impact your sleep, such as disrupting your sleep cycle and adding to physical and mental health issues.
