Common Sleep Disorders and Treatment

April 12, 2019 by Liz Carter

Issues with sleep may be as a result of an undiagnosed medical disorder. It is important that as a coach you are able to recognize the common disorders.Issues with sleep may be as a result of an undiagnosed medical disorder. It is important that as a certified sleep science coach you are able to recognize the common disorders.  Unless qualified, we do not diagnose or treat these disorders, however.

Insomnia

The most common sleep disorder is insomnia (22). This is described as insufficient sleep due to problems falling asleep, waking up often throughout the night, getting up too early, or feeling tired after waking. Insomnia is more common in women than men and tends to increase with age (22).

Acute insomnia can occur as a result of emotional or physical discomfort, stress, environmental noise, temperature extremes, jet lag or due perhaps to medication side effects (22). Chronic insomnia can happen from a mixture of physical or mental disorders, undiagnosed or uncontrolled sleep disorders and can even be due to taking certain medications.

Treatments

If you suspect or know your client has insomnia, treatment is normally tailored based on personal needs. If it is due to a medication, they may need to see their doctor for more advice. If it is due to any psychological issues, then that must be addressed.  This will include the need to always observe professional coaching boundaries and skills. Some behavioral modification may be needed, like developing better sleeping habits, as outlined in previous sections.

Avoid alcohol as a treatment as it inhibits REM sleep, affects sleep during the early morning hours and is believed to prevent restorative, quality sleep (22). [Read more…]

How Sleep Affects Appetite | Sleep Science

How Sleep Affects AppetiteHow Sleep Affects Appetite

Having an adequate, high-quality, restful sleep is an important part of adhering to healthy eating plans. Metabolic problems associated with overeating include high body mass index (BMI) and long-term health risks like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some types of cancer. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults aged 18-64 years should have sleep duration of 7-9 hours every day (Hirshkowitz, Whiton & Albert et al., 2015).

Sleep-related problems can affect how our bodies regulate food intake and can increase hunger and our appetite to eat more food.

Why is Sleep So Important for Your Health?

February 27, 2019 by Liz Carter

Why is Sleep So Important for Your Health?Did you know that sleep deprivation can also have profound consequences on your physical health? Poor sleep puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes and it shortens your life expectancy.

How much sleep do we need?

What matters is that you find out how much sleep you need and then try to achieve it. If you wake up tired and spend the day longing for a chance to have a nap, it’s likely that you’re not getting enough sleep.

A variety of factors can cause poor sleep, including health conditions such as sleep apnoea. But in most cases, it’s due to bad sleeping habits.

Student Success Stories

Learning how to become a life coach at the Spencer Institute has been a great way for me to grow my coaching business. I really liked that I could work full time while learning life coaching on my own time schedule. Not only do I now have coaching clients, but I also attract more psychotherapy clients who choose me because I can offer coaching in addition to psychotherapy.
