Sleep Disorders

Sleep disorders are problems with the timing, quality, or amount of sleep that cause daytime distress and difficulty functioning, and they are especially common among women. They both worsen mental health conditions like depression and anxiety and can also be a contributing cause of these illnesses.

Causes Of Sleep Disorders :

🩺 Medical & Biological Factors

Heart and lung disease, chronic pain, hormonal changes (menstruation, pregnancy, menopause), neurological conditions, and genetic vulnerability can trigger insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs, or other sleep problems.

🏃‍♀️ Mental health and lifestyle:

Depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, shift work, irregular routines, caffeine, alcohol, and certain medications frequently disturb sleep; in fact, around half of insomnia cases are linked to depression, anxiety, or psychological stress.

Why Insight is Important ?

Insight into the sleep problem means recognizing that poor sleep is not “normal” or purely due to laziness, but a treatable health issue often connected with stress or mental illness; this awareness motivates women to seek assessment, follow sleep‑hygiene advice, use CPAP or other devices correctly, and attend CBT‑I or counselling sessions.
Studies show that better understanding and adherence to behavioral or medical sleep treatments lead to much better outcome.
Without insight, people may ignore insomnia, stop therapies early, or rely only on short‑term sedatives, which keeps the cycle of fatigue, mood problems, and health risks going; educating women about how sleep and mental health influence each other helps them actively participate in treatment and lowers risks such as accidents, relapse of depression, and even suicidal thought.
