What is Insomnia?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is diagnosed when a person is unable to either get to sleep or stay fast asleep long enough for the body to be refreshed enough for the day ahead. As it is a relatively common disorder, with over 60 million Americans affected each year, Robert Lindeman has helped a diverse group of patients improve their quality of sleep.

Insomnia includes people who struggle to sleep, stay awake a lot throughout the night, wake up multiple times not through needing the toilet or pain and waking earlier than they need to and are unable to fall back to sleep. This can cause irritability, concentration problems and even struggling to catch up on sleep during the day no matter how tired they feel.

In some cases people have bouts of insomnia where no serious problems occur because it goes away for some time, however others find it lasts for months or years which can be detrimental to health and relationships. As a result of not getting enough sleep mood can be affected and the ability to concentrate which can cause problems with both employment and family. Although there is no hard and fast rule as to how much sleep a person should have, expert Robert Lindeman has found that the average adult should feel refreshed after anything from 7 to 9 hours.

Causes of Insomnia

Insomnia can be caused by a number of things including:

  •        Stress
  •        Not being in a comfortable environment or bed
  •        Disturbed sleep from travel to different time zones and shift work
  •        Caffeine and alcohol
  •        Other sleep disorders
  •        Pain
  •        Medication

Self-treatment for insomnia should be the first port of call starting with getting into a good sleep routine. This should include getting up and going to bed at the same time every day, having relaxation techniques and routines such as bathing and listening to calming music, blocking light out and even using earplugs if necessary. You should also avoid napping throughout the day or stimulating the mind with television or other tech before you sleep. If you have worries on your mind that stop you from sleeping, Robert Lindeman recommends writing down a list before you try to sleep so that you can clear your mind.

For many years, Robert Lindeman has worked as a professional sleep consultant, helping people of all ages improve their health and reap the benefits of a good night’s sleep.

How many times do you wake up realizing that you only had a couple hours of sleep? The reality is that a majority of people out there today struggle with being tired all of the time. People are not getting an adequate amount of sleep. This is such an epidemic that people face it by joking, saying things like “sleep is for the weak” or “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”. What most people do not realize is that there are so many benefits to getting a good night’s sleep. Below, Robert Lindeman describes some of the major benefits of obtaining enough hours of regular, healthy sleep.

Benefits of a Good Nights Sleep - Robert Lindeman

  • Overall Better Health

Studies are continually telling people that getting the right amount of sleep is so great for your health. By getting a better night’s sleep, people can have a decreased chance in health problems like obesity, heart problems and diabetes. Studies have also shown an increase in your immunity if you get the right amount of sleep.

  • Reduction in Pain

Some studies have shown that people who sleep better at night may see a reduction in their chronic pain. Robert Lindeman has relieved many patients from chronic pain with just some simple advice about proper sleeping habits.

  • Better Memory

There have been links to a person’s memory and the amount that they sleep. If you find that you are pretty forgetful, you should try getting more sleep. In fact, studies have also shown that the brain actually practices skills during your sleep, including strengthening your memory.

  • Better Mood

Admit it: most people are a bit cranky when they are tired. There is a reason for that. When you don’t sleep enough you have a more difficult time with your emotional regulation, making it more difficult to control your bad mood.

  • Longer Life

Studies show that people who get the right amount of sleep will actually live longer on average than those people who sleep too much or too little.

  • Better Cognitive Ability

Sleep and your ability to think are definitely linked. This means that if you don’t sleep enough, you are not going to be able to think very clearly. By getting enough sleep, you will have more attention and will be better able to think. You will get better grades and be a better problem solver at work.

Working alongside the American Sleep Association, Robert Lindeman has gained great insight on how sleep not only benefits our brains and cognitive abilities, but also leads to lower chances of developing serious sleep disorders.

  • More Creativity

This is especially important for those people who require their creativity for their careers. More sleep leaves more energy and room in the mind for creative exercises.

  • Better Athleticism

If you are an athlete or someone who works out regularly, getting a better night’s sleep will help to improve your performance. By sleeping around 10 hours a night, you will gain a simple competitive edge over someone who had less sleep.

  • Healthier Weight

There have been links between obesity and not getting enough sleep. By sleeping better at night, you are going to have an easier time maintaining a healthy weight. Sleeping well actually improves your metabolism.

The health benefits of getting a good night’s sleep are numerous. Everyone needs a good night’s sleep to function better and to have a better quality of life.
