What you need to know is that not all sleep is created equal. Of the four stages of sleep (wakefulness, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM) only the last two are considered restorative.

In other words, you could be clocking in the recommended hours of sleep each night and still not getting enough. If you aren’t reaching deep sleep or REM, you simply won’t wake up feeling rested and recharged—no matter how late you sleep in.

Everyone struggles with sleep from time to time. A failed exam, an unexpected bill, or a fight with a loved one can cause temporary disruptions to our nightly routines. But how do you spot the difference between a few sleepless nights and genuine insomnia symptoms?

Start by asking yourself how often you fall asleep in unexpected moments. Do you sometimes nod off in the following situations?

*Sitting on the couch and reading a book
*Watching TV
*Riding in a car that has stopped momentarily in traffic
*Mid-conversation with another person
*Sitting inactive in a public place, like in a meeting or on a park bench

If several of these scenarios apply to you, it’s possible that you are not getting restorative sleep.

If you or a loved one are looking for additional support, CBT can help you continue to take control of your own future and maintain your sobriety.

At Neal Psychological Specialties, we believe natural solutions are almost always the best course of action. That’s why we offer and recommend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for substance use disorder.

Early warning signs of relapse are personal changes in thoughts or behaviors that signal things are worsening. Examples are withdrawing for more than two days, feeling agitated most of the hours in a day, not sleeping for three or more days in a row, and having difficulty getting out of bed. Working with one of our counselors can help a person understand the early warning signs of relapse.

Substance use disorders are multifaceted in that there is usually more than one “culprit” for the addiction. Genetics, trauma, mental health disorders, and poor physical health can all play a role. Natural and holistic treatments are a great way to look at the bigger picture so that a person can truly move forward toward health and healing.

Although post-acute withdrawal rarely involves the normal withdrawal symptoms like aches and pains, nausea, cramping, headaches, or other physical symptoms, it can be just as intense as acute withdrawal and still puts a person at risk of relapse, as they may return to drug use in an attempt to stop the discomfort.

PAWS symptoms such as cravings, triggers, stress sensitivity, emotional overreaction, sleep issues, memory problems, and compulsive behaviors that can be extremely hard to maneuver on one’s own. A counselor at NPS, specializing in post-substance abuse treatment, can provide guidance and coping skills to reduce PAWS to a minimum to help keep a person on a recovery track.
