Sleep Disruption and its Impact on Health
Explore the Connection Between Sleep, Wellness, and Long-Term Health at Zenrji Wellness Centre
Sleep is a biologic process essential for life and optimal health, playing a critical role in brain function and systemic physiology. Normal healthy sleep encompasses sufficient duration, good quality, appropriate timing, and regularity, without disturbances or disorders. Despite its importance, millions of people worldwide suffer from chronic sleep disorders affecting daily functioning and health. At Zenrji Wellness Centre, we understand the profound impact of sleep on overall well-being.
Up to 70 million people in the US and ~45 million people in Europe experience chronic sleep disorders, leading to issues like driver sleepiness contributing to car accidents. Lifestyle factors, environmental influences, psychosocial issues, and various medical conditions contribute to sleep problems. With ~100 sleep disorder classifications, understanding the consequences of disrupted sleep becomes crucial for comprehensive well-being.
Methodology

A search of English-language publications in the PubMed database yielded valuable insights into the consequences of disrupted sleep. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the short-term and long-term clinical outcomes related to sleep disruption in adults, adolescents, and children.

Characteristics of Normal Sleep
Understanding the stages of sleep is fundamental to appreciating the impact of sleep disruption on the body. The sleep cycle involves rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, with distinct physiological changes in each stage.

The balance between the sleep-promoting process (process S) and the maintenance of wakefulness system (process C) shifts throughout the day, regulating the sleep–wake cycle. Circadian rhythms play a vital role in synchronizing sleep with the external day–night cycle.
Our practitioners are well-versed in the science of sleep, and we incorporate this knowledge into personalized wellness plans to optimize your sleep and overall health.
