The time you spend resting should be long enough to relax your mind as well as your body. Some people find that taking a nap in the middle of the day helps them reduce stress. Many of us assume that we are resting and relaxing during sleep, yet, that is not always the case. Disturbed, restless sleep can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress. Insomnia affects all of us from time to time and is a common reaction to stress.
Relaxation training is the best treatment for chronic insomnia.
Proper rest and sleep will allow you to deeply relax so you can face the stressors of the new day. Copyright 2000 content, the Cleveland Clinic .
