How to Stay Safe During Insomnia Episodes?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.

1. It’s important to create a safe and calming environment during insomnia episodes. Try to avoid activities that could cause harm, such as using sharp objects or driving, and keep the lights low to reduce overstimulation. Gentle activities like reading or listening to soothing music can help you stay calm while awake.

2. If insomnia episodes happen frequently, it’s best to discuss this with your healthcare provider to identify any underlying causes and explore treatment options. Managing stress, maintaining a regular sleep schedule, and practicing relaxation techniques can also improve your sleep safety and overall well-being.
