Poor sleep quality

What is Poor Sleep Quality?

Poor sleep quality refers to sleep that is insufficient or non-restorative. This means not getting enough sleep, or feeling unrested even after a full night in bed. Poor sleep quality can severely impact both physical and mental health.

Some signs of poor sleep quality include:

• Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep through the night


• Frequently waking up during the night


• Waking up feeling tired or groggy


• Feeling sleepy during the day


• Difficulty concentrating, irritability, depression

There are many potential causes of poor sleep, including:

• Stress, anxiety, or racing thoughts


• Unhealthy sleep habits such as inconsistent bedtimes


• Environmental issues like noise, temperature, or light


• Health conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia


• Medications, drugs, or alcohol

To improve sleep quality, experts recommend:

• Sticking to a consistent sleep schedule


• Avoiding stimulation from screens before bedtime


• Creating an optimal sleep environment that is dark, quiet, and cool


• Reducing stress through relaxation techniques


• Exercising regularly, but not too close to bedtime

If poor sleep persists despite lifestyle changes, it may be helpful to speak with a doctor or sleep specialist. For example, the sleep consultants at Vitality Hormone Clinic use advanced testing to get to the root of sleep issues. Their customized treatment plans involving hormones like melatonin have helped many patients finally sleep better at night!

With some tweaks to lifestyle, environment and in difficult cases, hormonal balance with help of experts like those at Vitality Hormone Clinic, restful plentiful sleep is within reach for many people.
