Insomnia: assessing physical causes alongside stress
NHS describes difficulty falling or staying asleep and problems functioning during the day.
Conditions affecting sleep
NHS explains that pain, medication, shifts and other sleep disorders can contribute alongside stress. Consistent waking times and quiet, dark surroundings are suggested. Persistent or disruptive problems warrant assessment; cognitive behavioural therapy may be offered.
Editorial perspective
Knowing that sleep-support options exist is encouraging. Appropriate adjustments and professional advice can be considered together. This sleep guide does not provide experimental evidence that Reiki improves sleep.
