Awakenings at night: a frequent problem

Imagine getting into bed after a tiring day, being greeted by the warmth of the blankets and resting your head on the pillow to rest from fatigue and thoughts. Imagine, now, being yanked out of that restful sleep after just an hour or two. Close your eyes, try to go back to sleep, but the brain just doesn't want to calm down.

Not a new situation, is it? It is more common than you think. Stress, anxiety, changes in your routine (such as a loss or the arrival of a baby) or specific sleep disorders can alter the quality of night's rest intermittently or constantly.

Some segments of the population appear to be more at risk of developing insomnia and sleep disturbances, and among these the female population and in old age stands out, due to hormonal alterations due to menopause.

Why do we spend sleepless nights?

Waking up in the middle of the night, in addition to being extremely annoying on a psychological level, has consequences for your body and your ability to function at your best the next day.

Sudden awakenings during the sleep has repercussions on the correct functions of the cardiovascular system and for the nervous system, especially if it is a regular and frequent phenomenon. The resulting imbalance alters the production of cortisol, also called "the stress hormone", responsible for the increase in fat and blood sugar, and therefore for the energy available to the body.

Not respecting the correct sleep-wake times therefore means experiencing tiredness and drowsiness during the hours of light, with heavy consequences from a physical, psychological and emotional point of view.

Not sleeping well and without interruption can lead to symptoms such as:

• mood imbalances such as anxiety, depression and irritability;

• tiredness, drowsiness, lack of energy and reactivity;

• difficulty in reasoning, attention, concentration and thinking;

memory loss.

If worsened over time, frequent nocturnal awakenings can put you at risk of developing cardiovascular disease, metabolic weight gain, or diabetes.
