Stress and Occupational Related Sleep Disorders
A common precursor and symptom of stress related illness
is the disruption of the Sleep-Wake cycle. Psychological
Stress for example due to deadlines, examinations or job
crisis leads to activation of the sympathetic nervous system
and an increased state of arousal.
As a result of this heightened arousal, there is inevitably
a degree of sleep disruption and insomnia that can lead
to a vicious cycle of chronic insomnia. Timely and adequate
treatment of the stressors and the associated sleep disturbances
is highly effective in preventing the slide into a chronic
state of sleep disruption.
A combine approach using medication and Cognitive Therapy
is proven to reduce the rate of chronic suffering in patients
with stress induced sleep disruption. For more information
