Why is poor sleep a problem?

"Consistent sleep of good quality and sufficient duration is of great importance for our physical wellbeing and our mental wellbeing." Quote by Bobby Zachariae.

Lack of sleep can cause cognitive challenges such as reduced concentration and attention, affect our performance at work or school, and lead to increased stress, anxiety and depression. Poor sleep quality can also result in lower productivity, increased sick leave and financial costs. Furthermore, it increases the risk of serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease and dementia, as documented by research.

It is therefore crucial that you take care of your sleep and seek help for persistent sleep problems, as your sleep is crucial for your well-being and health.

Why sleeping pills are not the solution

Therefore, the Danish Health Authority recommends CBT as the preferred treatment for sleep problems. Due to the potentially addictive nature of sleeping medication, the Danish Health Authority advises against the use of such drugs.

The primary approach to treating insomnia in Denmark focuses primarily on non-medical methods, including CBT, improving sleep hygiene and sleep restriction strategies.
