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.
