Studies suggest that anxiety causes sleep problems, whereas other studies have shown that sleeplessness leads to an anxiety disorder.

If you have sleep problems and feel depressed, anxious or less emotionally responsive, there are many ways that can help you get better.

  • One of the most effective ways to improve sleep patterns is getting enough sleep. It can lower anxiety and improve sleep. Plus, studies have found that exercise can help lower anxiety and improve overall health.
  • Dim the lights to let melatonin (sleep hormone) to work properly and induce sleep.
  • Set a routine and stick to it. Hit the sack around the same time every day and wake up at the same time to let your body align with your internal clock
  • Avoid consuming too much caffeine as it can lead to anxiety and inhibit sleep
  • Consuming too much alcohol can also keep you up by increasing your heart rate and making you anxious
  • Try meditation, yoga or breathing exercises to calm your mind and fight insomnia
  • Keep your gadgets away at least half an hour before bedtime. Your phone, laptop and TV emit light that keeps your brain awake
  • Don’t underestimate the use of excellent bedding. Make sure you select the ones that matches your needs
  • Take a warm and relaxing bath before going to bed
  • If you keep tossing and turning in bed, try reading a book before going to bed

Sleep deprivation could be an indication of an underlying disease that can lead to life-threatening consequences. Be alert and talk to your doctor in case the problem persists.
