Addressing Growing Sleep Challenges
A long-running study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that Americans’ sleep problems are becoming more prevalent. In 2013, about 33% of women and 34% of men reported getting less than seven hours of sleep nightly. By 2023, those percentages climbed to about 36% and 38% percent respectively.
Poor sleep can be more common among people with mental health conditions. Research has shown that 55% to 75% of people with ADHD also experience sleep disorders. Similar relationships have been found between sleep and depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Sleep disorders can exacerbate the symptoms of such conditions and interfere with treatment. Mentavi Health supports patients in practicing sleep hygiene to get sufficient sleep. Methods include maintaining a regular sleep schedule, exercising regularly, using relaxation techniques, blocking excess lights, and avoiding the use of electronic devices an hour before bedtime.
