Sleep Disorder Causes: Stress

Could Stress Be The Cause Of My Sleep Disorder?

If you’re someone who has trouble getting to sleep at night, there could be many reasons why. Sleep disorders are found to be quite common these days, with some people experiencing periodic bouts of sleep deprivation. But there are some people who tend to experience a lack of sleep for many months and even years, which can really affect the overall quality of their everyday lives. 

One of the most common sleep disorder causes is stress. And the fact that reports are telling us that nearly 7 out of every 10 adults are experiencing some form of stress on an everyday basis means that there a lot of people who are looking for treatment options so they can stop feeling so tired. And it doesn’t matter if the stress is work related or personal, the fact that you’re not sleeping well is proof on how stress affects sleep. 

Being stressed can easily lead to sleep deprivation. Mainly because stress can not only affect your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep, it can also affect the overall quality of your sleep. It’s important to understand that even though stress can cause or even worsen sleep disorders, some sleep disorders actually have a dental cause.

Stress Can Worsen An Already Existing Sleep Disorder

If you’re someone who has already being diagnosed with a sleep disorder, then stress can make it worse. There are many different types of sleep disorders that people are living with these days, with some people not even aware that they indeed have a sleeping disorder. They just figure that the cause of their lack of sleep is due to stress and they hope for the best that it will end soon. But the possibility of them having a sleep disorder that hasn’t been officially diagnosed is high.

Some Sleep Disorders Have Dental Causes… And There Are Dental Solutions
