The benefits of a good night's sleep are well-documented. Being well-rested has a positive impact on your day and your health but what if you just can't nod off?
Most people have occasions when they have trouble sleeping, but if those occasions are frequent and it's worrying you, perhaps it's time to look into the causes. One sleep expert says there are certain signs that may even mean you should see a doctor.
According to NHS website Better Health, sleep problems "usually sort themselves out within about a month". However, it adds that "longer stretches of bad sleep can start to affect our lives. It can cause extreme tiredness and make usually manageable tasks harder".
