The two types of sleep problems are difficulty getting to sleep, and staying asleep once you have drifted off.
Difficulty getting to sleep is usually due to anxiety, excessive worry, depression or nervous tension. These conditions causes repetitive negative thoughts which prevent you from relaxing enough to enter a state of sleep.
A reduction in the brain chemicals that are responsible for feelings of safety and happiness can also prevent you from being able to relax enough to fall asleep.
Problems staying asleep and frequent night time waking is often due to high stress levels. Prolonged psychological or emotional stress causes changes in your hormone levels that impact on your ability to relax and feel at ease. Often people under high stress will wake early in the morning and begin thinking of work, a project they are currently working or a problem they are having in a personal relationship.
