The effect of Pain on Sleep – How we can help.

Do you suffer from Chronic pain?  As you know, this will affect your nights sleep.  Pain renders the nervous system more active and therefore keeps a person awake.  To fall asleep, our nervous system needs to calm down – (this is why we suggest a before bed wind-down routine) Whether the pain is musculoskeletal or fibromyalgia or of another origin, Psychologists are experts  in helping people cope with the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that accompany pain and a suboptimal nights sleep.
