The Relationship Between Anxiety and Sleep Deprivation - Looking at Some of the Causes
The end of the day or evening is a common time for people to feel anxious, and as a result they're worn out and frazzled, yet they struggle to fully understand what they're needing or feeling.
People may suffer depression and struggle to get sufficient sleep, and their anxiety may cause sleep disorders.
When people struggle with anxiety problems or even panic attacks in the daytime, it isn't always immediately obvious that the problem is depression.
Some have suggested all sufferers of depression naturally suffer exhaustion and sleep deprivation too but that might not be fact.
Battling negative thoughts at nighttime while struggling to fall asleep may not be an obvious sign of depression; however, it's indeed a symptom.
There are plenty of medical conditions that can disrupt sleep, but being woken by a panic attack is a scary experience.
People can also be woken by migraines, just like panic attacks.
When someone experiences panic attacks in the middle of sleeping, he also naturally begins to experience it when falling asleep.
These sleep problems are directly linked to anxiety and are a terrifying thing to suffer.
The symptoms that manifest with anxiety linked sleep disorders are also symptoms for other medical problems, so those possible syndromes need to also be checked for and eliminated as a possible diagnosis.
Some of those other illness can be chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, depression, and alcoholism to name only a few.
When it's confirmed the true condition is an anxiety disorder, the cause needs to be further determined, whether it's a result of obsessive compulsive disorder, caused by substance abuse, ATSD or PTSD, just a general problem, or a specific medical problem.
After each possible cause has been investigated and ruled out, a solution or treatment can be planned with either a psychiatrist, or by looking at homeopathy or possibly medication to treat the disorder.
There can be medical explanations for anxiety, such as actual medication that can be the cause, and this is closely examined by specially trained physicians in the case of patients with HIV or AIDS.
It's important to correctly diagnose what's causing the anxiety so the correct solutions can be found not only for the sleep deprivation but any other side effects.
If someone has bipolar disorder, he may not feel the need to sleep a lot.
If you add this to depression, and anxiety or panic disorder, he could lie awake most of the night, fretting about his lack of sleep.
In a way he's actually producing the cycle of sleep deprivation, and in such a case, counseling coupled with sleeping tablets may be needed to help break the cycle.
