Do I Have Insomnia?

March 15, 2021 by Justin Arocho, Ph.D.

How can you tell if your sleep troubles are insomnia? It can be complicated, but Justin Arocho, Ph.D., explains how you can tell if you have insomnia or not.

Insomnia is the term used for not being able to sleep enough, or well enough, despite having the chance to get a full night’s sleep. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, about one third of adults experience insomnia at least occasionally. So, it’s a relatively common experience many of us go through.

Sleep Hygiene: How to Sleep in a City That Never Does

In the fast-paced streets and schedules of New York City, it is no surprise that many New Yorkers find it difficult to get a restful night of sleep. To help you snooze successfully, here are some scientifically supported sleep hygiene tips to help you fall and stay asleep:

  • Maintain regular bed and rise times. Try to go to sleep and to wake at regular times each day, including weekends. Given that weekend routines can often deviate from weekday routines, a good rule of thumb is to rise no more than 2 hours later on a weekend morning compared to weekday mornings. A second rule of thumb is to maintain strict rise times no matter the bed times. So that means no matter how late the party ended on Saturday night, you must still rise and shine as close to your regular rise time on Sunday morning! These two simple rules reset our circadian clock each morning and allow us to achieve consolidated sleep at bedtime throughout the week.
