Insomnia and anxiety are ubiquitous in young people

from Mental Health Training · host Anthony

If you have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up very early in the morning, you may have insomnia. It is not enough to close your eyes, and count sheep and hope you will eventually enter the world of snooze. Most people have occasional sleeplessness, irrespective of their age. You will experience it due to changes in your sleep schedules (e.g. during travel) or stressful circumstances, to name a few.  However, when it starts happening frequently and becomes long-term, it can cause problems in your daily schedule. You may feel sleepy putting you and others at increased risk of injury if you drive a vehicle or operate machinery. According to the Harvard Medical School, you have an increased risk for many chronic health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.   You may also have trouble concentrating and experience problems with your memory. When you are not getting enough sleep due to insomnia, little stressors can feel like a mammoth amount of pressure, blowing everything out of all proportion and interrupting your thoughts and decision making. At this point, your coping skills deteriorate fast, and you may become confused, irritable and then angry. Eventually, your relationships with your family, friends, or co-workers will suffer as well.
