Deep dives
Understanding the Nervous System's Impact on Sleep
An overreactive sympathetic nervous system can lead to frequent awakenings and insufficient deep sleep. High stress levels and anxiety activate the fight-or-flight response, making it difficult for individuals to feel secure enough to rest properly. To combat this, cognitive strategies can help people differentiate between real threats and false alarms, allowing them to regulate their reactions. Additionally, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation, is crucial for restful sleep.
