The Neurological Basis of Anxiety & Sleep Disorders

Anxiety neurosis and chronic sleep disturbances are closely linked with imbalances in central neurotransmitter systems (GABA, serotonin, norepinephrine, and melatonin) and autonomic nervous system hyperactivity, manifesting in both physical and psychological symptoms.

Common Conditions

• Generalized Anxiety & Panic Attacks: Excessive worry, palpitations, tremors, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
• Chronic Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, or unrefreshing sleep.
• Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Irresistible urge to move legs, usually accompanied by uncomfortable creeping sensations in the evening or night.
• REM Sleep Behavior Disorder & Parasomnias: Acting out dreams, sleepwalking, or daytime hypersomnolence.

Symptoms

• Persistent restlessness, tension, or irritability
• Tension headaches, muscle tightness, and dizziness
• Sleep disruption, fatigue, and daytime brain fog
• Autonomic symptoms: racing heart, sweating, cold hands, digestive issues
