00:00 - Anxiety - How to Treat Nighttime Anxiety
In today's video, I'll talk about anxiety, more specifically about anxiety before bed. If you have anxiety and have difficulty sleeping and want to know how to treat nighttime anxiety, stay with me until the end of this video.
01:10 - What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural emotion that prepares us to face challenges, activating our state of alertness. However, excessive anxiety becomes a disorder that negatively impacts both the body and mind, especially harming sleep.
01:50 - Anxiety and Insomnia
Anxiety activates the body's alert system, releasing hormones such as cortisol, making relaxation and sleep induction difficult. This creates a vicious cycle of anxiety and insomnia. Anxiety makes it difficult to sleep, whether due to difficulty switching off thoughts, muscle tension, or a constant feeling of alertness. Lack of sleep worsens anxiety symptoms, leaving the person more irritable, with difficulty concentrating and excessive worry.
03:53 - How to Avoid Anxiety Before Bed
To break the cycle of anxiety and insomnia, it is essential to understand the relationship between anxiety and sleep quality. The first step is a medical diagnosis to identify the causes of insomnia, which can be a symptom of anxiety, but also of other problems such as sleep apnea, chronic or neurological diseases.
04:54 - How to Solve Insomnia Caused by Anxiety
Treatment for anxiety and chronic insomnia includes cognitive behavioral therapy, which is essential to modify thoughts and behaviors that affect sleep. Medication may be necessary, but should focus on treating anxiety. It is essential that the treatment of anxiety disorders be monitored by a doctor, combining medication and psychotherapy to obtain effective results.
