Do You Have a Sleep Debt?




If you have trouble sleeping, you may be accumulating a debt that is difficult to pay back - a sleep debt. According to the National Sleep Foundation, about 6 out of 10 people in the United States suffers from problems getting a restful night of sleep.

Insomnia. Poor quality sleep may result from inability to fall asleep, waking up frequently, waking up and being unable to return to sleep, or some combination. Females are affected more than males.

And their long-term use is controversial.

Although sometimes prescription sleep aids are necessary, there are many other simple and easy-to-implement strategies to help sleep better:

1) Don't engage in mentally stimulating activities prior to bedtime. 2) Keep your bedroom as dark as possible - this helps regulate the hormone responsible for sleeping and waking. 3) Keep pets out of the bedroom. 4) Eat a light snack before bed, preferably one with protein. 5) Exercise daily. 6) Keep a regular schedule of sleeping and waking. 7) Have yourself checked for depression - it is a common cause of sleep disturbance. 8)

Large amounts of accumulated sleep debt can be a serious problem. For example, driving can place both you and other people at risk. Frighteningly, a 2002 National Sleep Foundation poll found that 14 million people reported actually falling asleep at the wheel during the last year.

If you have been having trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor about your condition and your options. Besides depression, many other potentially serious health disorders may be causing your sleeping difficulties. Don't ignore this debt until it becomes too late to repay.
