Insomnia is the name given to regularly having a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep or getting back to sleep if you wake too early.¹ Insomnia can make you feel drowsy during the day, and affect memory, concentration and learning.

Snoring can be a sign that you’re not breathing properly when you sleep. As you fall asleep the muscles in your mouth, tongue and throat relax. Snoring may occur when these muscles relax too much and they partially block your airway and vibrate.²

Fragmented sleep is a sleep pattern characterised by numerous interruptions throughout the night.³ If you’re suffering from disrupted or fragmented sleep, keeping to a regular sleep schedule, learning to manage stress, and regular exercise may help.⁴

Restless legs syndrome is a condition that causes uncontrollable sensations in the legs and an urge to move them, usually due to discomfort. Lifestyle changes such as reducing intake of alcohol/caffeine, massaging your legs, and exercise may help to minimise the symptoms of restless legs syndrome.⁵

Bruxism is a condition where a person clenches or grinds their teeth. This can be associated with stress, age, and certain types of medication. In many instances, people outgrow bruxism with age. If symptoms do persist, consider talking to your dentist or doctor.⁶
