What are sleep problems
There are five main types of sleep problem. You may find you have more than one. Focus on the ones that fit your own case:
Getting over to sleep
You may feel dog-tired when you get ready for bed. But as soon as you get into bed, you can't get over to sleep. You are restless. You toss and turn. Your body may be tired but your mind is not. Your mind bursts into life and you can't switch off. You get more and more annoyed and stressed.
Staying asleep
You may wake up at different times of the night. You may find it hard to get back over to sleep.
Waking too early in the morning
You find yourself waking at 4am or 5am and know that you are not going to get any more sleep even though you want to.
Sleeping too much
No matter how much sleep you get, you never feel it is enough. You may feel that you don't want to face the day so stay in bed. You feel more secure in bed.
Sleep quality
You feel that you don't get a good nights sleep. You may feel you don't get into a deep sleep. You may feel restless during the night. You don't feel refreshed by your sleep.
