Common Sleep Issues and Their Roots
Many individuals overlook fundamental factors affecting their sleep quality, such as the absence of basic home features like curtains. A notable case involved clients who opted not to install curtains, preferring fresh air over undisturbed sleep, leading them to accept waking up early as a norm. This highlights a larger issue, as research shows over half of Australian adults experience sleep problems, often linked to underlying mental health issues. Insomnia is particularly concerning as it's one of the most common symptoms associated with various mental health disorders, emphasizing the need for awareness of how sleep impacts overall well-being.
