Poor sleep quality

What is poor sleep quality?

Poor sleep quality refers to sleep that is insufficient or disrupted. It can negatively impact your health, productivity, and quality of life. Some key signs of poor sleep quality include:

Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Tossing, turning, and struggling to fall asleep
- Waking up frequently during the night

Feeling unrested in the morning
- Still feeling tired or sleepy after waking up
- Lacking energy and mental clarity throughout the day

Daytime fatigue and sleepiness
- Strong urges to nap or doze off during the day
- Impaired concentration, focus and productivity

Other common symptoms include irritability, mood swings, and brain fog. Over time, poor sleep can increase the risk for chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and even depression.

What causes poor sleep?

There are many potential causes, such as:

• Stress, anxiety, or depression


• Underlying health issues - thyroid, sleep apnea, etc.


• Medications, caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine


• Environmental factors - noise, light, uncomfortable bed


• Inconsistent sleep routine

For many adults, hormonal changes with aging can disrupt sleep quality. Declining melatonin, testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone levels can all impair sleep.
