SLEEP DISORDERS
When sleep problems start to affect daily life..
Occasional difficulty with sleep is common. However, when problems with falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested continue over time, they can begin to affect your mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical health.
If you find yourself lying awake for long periods, waking frequently during the night, or feeling exhausted even after what should be enough sleep, it does not mean you are “just bad at sleeping.” It often indicates that your mind or body is struggling to settle and recover properly.
Many people live with disrupted sleep for months or even years, gradually adjusting to fatigue without realising how deeply it is affecting their well-being.
How sleep disorders commonly show up​
Sleep-related difficulties can vary from person to person. Common experiences include:
-
Difficulty falling asleep despite feeling tired
-
Waking up repeatedly during the night
-
Waking too early and being unable to return to sleep
-
Feeling unrefreshed or fatigued despite adequate sleep time
-
Racing thoughts or mental restlessness at bedtime
-
Daytime sleepiness, low energy, or reduced concentration
Poor sleep can also intensify stress, anxiety, irritability, and emotional sensitivity during the day.

When sleep problems may need professional attention
It may be helpful to consider a psychiatric consultation if sleep issues:
-
Persist for several weeks or longer
-
Begin to affect mood, concentration, or daily functioning
-
Interfere with work performance or personal relationships
-
Occur alongside anxiety, stress, or low mood
-
Do not improve despite lifestyle or routine changes​
Seeking help does not mean your sleep problem is severe or unusual. It means you are addressing an important foundation of mental and physical health.​
