Struggling with Sleep Issues?

Does it take you more than 30 minutes to fall asleep? Do you wake frequently throughout the night or too early in the morning and have a hard time going back to sleep? Do you feel groggy and lethargic during the day after a night’s rest?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be suffering from sleep debt, significantly affecting your life. Sleep is essential for good health, proper mental and emotional balance.

Understanding Sleep Debt

Lost productivity due to sleeplessness has been estimated to cost the national economy as much as $100 billion annually. Your daily cup of coffee, along with alcohol and nicotine, are all common contributors to disrupted sleep patterns. Insufficient sleep may result in reduced productivity and concentration, impaired memory, decreased learning and logical reasoning abilities, and increased feelings of stress. There is also evidence that long-term sleep debt may contribute to difficulties associated with diabetes, obesity, and a weakened immune system.

Importance of Quality Sleep

Most healthy adults need an average of eight hours of sleep each night, but the quality of sleep is usually more important than the quantity. Getting uninterrupted sleep is crucial for maintaining your body’s natural sleep pattern and achieving restful, restorative sleep.

Patients often report better sleep after receiving chiropractic adjustments, even for issues unrelated to sleep deprivation. Healthy sleep is required for your nervous system to regulate responses to external stimuli.

Chiropractic Care and Sleep

Conditions contributing to brain stimulation include physical pain, lack of sufficient oxygen, hormonal changes, unsuitable sleep environments, poor diet, and lack of exercise. ChiroMom specializes in eliminating interferences that may cause sleep disruptions. A physical examination and in-depth sleep history can reveal why your sleep is disturbed, leading to a plan of action for improvement.

Vulnerable Groups and Sleep Hygiene

Virtually everyone occasionally suffers from poor sleep, but certain individuals, including students, shift workers, travelers, and those with acute stress, depression, or chronic pain, may be particularly vulnerable. Poor sleep can indicate larger problems. Combining chiropractic care with a healthy sleep environment can improve sleep quality.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that more than 100,000 auto crashes annually may be fatigue-related.
