Pandemic insomnia: Why is it happening and what can you do about it?

Professor Andrew Coogan She describes it as “a phenomenon in which people who don’t have much control over their daytime life refuse to sleep early in order to regain some sense of freedom during late night hours”. Add in potentially problematic lockdown behaviours such as binge-watching TV, excessive time spent on devices, letting exercise fall by the wayside and an increase in alcohol consumption and it’s not surprising that sleep has taken a hit. Long-term insomnia is a reason for concern. “Sleep problems that are chronic are associated with decreased daytime function; that is to say, impairments of cognitions such as attention, memory and reasoning,” says Professor Coogan. “Poor sleep is also strongly linked with low mood and anxiety. We are less well able to deal with daily hassles and stresses if we are experiencing sleep deprivation.” He notes that our individual need for sleep varies a lot between people.

Colorado Springs doctor sees increase in insomnia, sleep troubles during pandemic

Colorado Springs doctor sees increase in insomnia, sleep troubles during pandemic Dr. Robert Glidewell at the Insomnia Clinic in Colorado Springs has seen firsthand the recent rise in insomnia. There are definitely more people coming in seeking help at the Insomnia Clinic, Dr. Glidewell said. Dr. Glidewell attributes stress surrounding COVID-19 and a change in people s schedules as a main cause for sleep disruption. He said the rise in patients came a few months following lockdowns and restrictions, and he sees the sleepless trend continuing for years to come. What ends up happening is once you have trouble sleeping over a long period of time, often enough over a long period of time there s a point where the sleep problem takes on a life of its own. Once that happens, unless we do something to really retrain the brain how to sleep again, you re just going to keep having trouble sleeping even once the stress of the pandemic is gone, Dr. Glidewell said.
