Orthosomnia: what it is and how to find peaceful, natural sleep again!
In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on sleep quality, perfect evening routines, and devices that promise to analyze every detail of our rest.
This focus is positive in itself, but in some cases it can turn into a real obsession: orthosomnia.
Constant sleep monitoring
Orthosomnia is a tendency to monitor every aspect of sleep, relying entirely on data collected by sleep tracking devices: duration of rest, level of deep sleep, heart rate, and even micro-awakenings.
What are the consequences?
You might think that monitoring your sleep helps improve it day by day, but often what really happens is the opposite. Constant attention to data creates unrealistic expectations and the feeling that you have to achieve perfect rest. This pressure easily turns into anxiety, making bedtime more tense and less natural.
The result is sleep that loses its ability to truly regenerate and, over time, the ability to listen to your body is also reduced, relying more on numbers than on real sensations.
4 steps to follow to feel better
It only takes a few days and small steps to break a habit and create a healthier one! Here’s what you can do to get more out of your rest phase:
- Listen to your body and how you feel when you wake up. Don’t rely on sleep tracking tools, but use them as insights for reflection.
- Create a relaxing routine before bedtime.
- Reduce your use of digital devices.
- Choose a bed system that suits your body: the right mattress and a suitable bed base promote correct posture and more effective rest.
