Poor sleep quality

What is Poor Sleep Quality?

Poor sleep quality refers to sleep that is interrupted or unrestful. This means you regularly have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep through the night. Poor sleep quality can result from different factors like stress, underlying medical conditions, or an inconsistent sleep routine.

Some common signs of poor sleep quality include:

• Taking over 30 minutes to fall asleep at night


• Frequently waking up during the night


• Waking up early and not being able to fall back asleep


• Not feeling well-rested in the morning despite getting enough total hours of sleep


• Feeling fatigued and sleepy during the day

Over time, poor sleep takes a toll both physically and mentally. Lack of quality sleep is associated with issues like impaired cognitive function, decreased productivity, and even development of chronic diseases like heart disease or diabetes.

So what causes poor sleep quality? Some top culprits are:

• Stress - Both acute and chronic stress can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle. Stress leads to elevated cortisol levels at night, which makes it harder to fall and stay asleep.


• Medical issues - Conditions like sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, chronic pain or urinary issues can impair sleep quality. Seeking medical treatment can help in many cases.


• Inconsistent sleep routine - Going to bed and waking up at different times every day confuses your body's internal clock and makes it hard to fall asleep.

There are a lot of lifestyle changes and sleep hygiene tips that can enhance sleep quality, like limiting screen time before bed, making sure your bedroom is cool and dark, doing relaxing activities before bed, etc. But if poor sleep persists for over 3 weeks, it's best to consult your doctor or a sleep specialist.
