Sleep Disorders
Insomnia
Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, even when there is enough time to rest. It is often linked with stress, anxiety, depression, or lifestyle habits. People with insomnia may feel tired during the day, experience mood swings, and struggle with concentration.
At Global Psychology, we provide effective strategies such as relaxation techniques, sleep routine planning, and therapy to address the underlying emotional causes of insomnia and restore healthy sleep patterns.
Sleep Apnea (Psychological Component)
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. While it has physical causes, it is often worsened by stress, anxiety, and mental health conditions. Individuals may wake up feeling tired, irritable, or unable to focus throughout the day.
At Global Psychology, we focus on the psychological aspects by helping individuals manage stress, improve sleep habits, and work alongside medical professionals to enhance overall treatment outcomes.
Night Terrors
Night terrors are intense episodes of fear, screaming, or panic that occur during sleep, most commonly in children but also affecting some adults. During an episode, individuals may appear awake, confused, or distressed, yet they are not fully conscious and often do not remember the event afterward. These episodes can be frightening for both the individual and their family, and are often linked to factors such as stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep deprivation, or irregular sleep patterns.
At Global Psychology, we focus on identifying the underlying triggers and helping individuals develop healthier sleep routines and stress management techniques. Our approach includes creating a calm and supportive environment, teaching relaxation strategies, and addressing any emotional or psychological factors contributing to the condition.
