Contact Time Wellness Centers today to begin mental health treatment in Tennessee.

What Are Sleep Disorders?

Approximately 50 million Americans have a sleep disorder, and about 100 million more report that they don’t get enough rest. People feel their best when they regularly get a good night’s sleep. How much sleep someone needs depends on their physical health, age, and life habits, but most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

When someone regularly experiences disruptions to their natural ability to sleep, they may have a sleep disorder. Some people have difficulty falling asleep, while others can fall asleep but wake up frequently. Once a person establishes a pattern of not sleeping well each night, it can impact their physical and mental health and leave them drained of energy during the day.

Types of Sleep Disorders

Many types of sleep disorders can happen to a person, which makes it important that they receive an exact diagnosis from the program they attend. The most common types of sleep disorders include:

• Insomnia: The most common sleep disorder is characterized by a person having tremendous difficulty falling or staying asleep. 
• Sleep Apnea: This is characterized by long pauses in breathing while asleep.
• Restless Leg Syndrome: This causes a person’s legs to feel restless and bother them to the point that they have to move them frequently.
• Circadian Rhythm Disorder: The person’s internal clock does not acclimate to the times they want to wake up and go to sleep.
• Parasomnia: This causes a person to perform activities while asleep, such as eating, talking, and sleepwalking.
• Narcolepsy: This is characterized by falling asleep at unexpected times with no warning.

What Causes Sleep Disorders?

A sleep disorder can have any number of causes. Attending sleep disorder treatment in Tennessee can help determine what triggers it and how to ease the symptoms.

Having a mental illness can contribute to a sleep disorder. For example, someone with depression may sleep too little or too much but not understand that their mental health is tied to their sleep cycles. When they receive treatment for their mental health disorder, it often improves how they sleep.

A person’s physical health and habits can also affect their sleep, including diet and amount of exercise. As well, a person’s sleep environment should be dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. When it’s not, they often don’t sleep well.

The Negative Impact of Sleep Disorders

When someone lives with a sleep disorder, it can have a tremendous impact on their mental and physical health. Lack of sleep can contribute to developing a mental health disorder or worsen the symptoms the person already has. It also causes a person to have a lack of energy when awake, moodiness, and cognitive difficulties. The immune system can also be compromised. 

Residential Treatment for Sleep Disorders

A residential treatment program provides people with the most comprehensive care because the individual stays with us, and allows us a 24/7 opportunity to understand their sleep patterns. Those who enroll in our residential program enjoy gourmet meals, housekeeping, and other amenities in a cozy and modern homelike environment. This allows them the opportunity to identify and improve their sleep cycles and feel better. 

Time Wellness Tennessee offers evidence-based sleep disorder treatment in Tennessee that changes people’s lives. We use a multi-pronged approach to help them get a good night’s sleep and improve their physical and mental health. 

What to Expect During Residential Treatment for Sleep Disorders

When we accept someone into our sleep disorder treatment in Tennessee, we begin by doing an intake that allows us to understand the specifics of their sleep patterns. We ask questions related to their sleep history, how much sleep they get now, and any known triggers that keep them awake. This allows us to design a menu of therapies to help them get better rest. 

How Are Sleep Disorders Treated?

We offer several types of therapy, including traditional talk therapy and holistic therapy, that give people a private platform to discuss their lives. Emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that contribute to their difficulty getting rest are identified, and new approaches are taught to help the person sort through issues that may block their ability to sleep restfully every night.

When necessary, we also provide access to mental health medications that help treat symptoms like anxiety and depression that contribute to not sleeping well.
