Poor sleep quality refers to sleep that is insufficient or disrupted. It can lead to daytime fatigue, brain fog, and impaired concentration. Some common causes of poor sleep quality include:
- Insomnia - Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Sleep apnea - Brief interruptions in breathing during sleep that disturb sleep
- Restless leg syndrome - Unpleasant sensations in the legs that create an urge to move them
- Chronic pain or discomfort
- Medications - Some medications interfere with sleep
- Alcohol - While alcohol may help you fall asleep faster, it reduces REM sleep later in the night
- Depression and anxiety - Racing negative thoughts that make it hard to unwind
The effects of poor sleep build up over time.
Long-term poor sleep puts you at higher risk for obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and mood disorders.
So how can you improve sleep quality? The hormone clinic
Hormone Harmony recommends evaluating your
sleep hygiene. Simple changes like limiting screen time before bed, keeping your room cooler, using blackout curtains, avoiding late night meals, establishing a calming pre-bedtime routine, and taking a warm bath can promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
If over-the-counter solutions do not resolve chronic poor sleep,
