Decreased need for sleep, also known as insomnia
or sleeplessness, refers to a condition where individuals experience a reduced
ability to fall asleep or stay asleep, leading to insufficient restorative
rest. While occasional bouts of insomnia are common and often linked to stress,
lifestyle factors, or transient disruptions in sleep patterns, persistent
insomnia can be indicative of an underlying medical or psychological issue.
Some individuals may naturally require less sleep than others due to genetic factors,
but chronic insomnia can also result from conditions such as anxiety,
depression, chronic pain, or sleep disorders like sleep apnea or restless leg
syndrome. Certain medications, substance use, and lifestyle habits like
irregular sleep schedules or excessive screen time before bed can also
contribute to insomnia. Addressing underlying causes and adopting healthy sleep
habits, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing
bedtime routine, and creating a comfortable sleep environment, are essential
for managing decreased need for sleep and improving overall sleep quality and
duration. Consulting with a healthcare provider or sleep specialist can provide
further guidance and treatment options tailored to individual needs.
