If you have been experiencing severe insomnia or sleeplessness for some time and have been unable to get relief, you may have been recommended to attend a sleep disorder clinic. The very name of it sounds intimitading, but, as with most things that sound scary – the reality is very different.
Here’s some more information about sleep disorder clinics and how they work to help inform your choice.
It probably comes as no surprise that there is a test for everything… but, who knew there was even a sleepiness test.
Believe it or not, there is a way to actually measure sleepiness. It’s called the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and it uses a simple questionnaire to measure excessive sleepiness during eight situations.
So, you feel tired and exhausted and you are fed up with it. How do you know what you need to do to sort this out?
One idea is keep a sleep diary. A sleep diary is a great way to track what is actually happening with your sleep patterns. You can then use this to identify any specific causes (stress, (lack of) excercise, specific eating habits, illness) that might be influencing when you sleep well (or not).
