&#039;orthosomnia&#039; which describes an obsessive pursuit on achieving a perfect sleep. \ud83d\ude34<br \/><br \/>Whilst orthosomnia is more of an internet term than an official diagnosis, TPCH Senior Sleep Psychologist Elena says that practicing good sleep hygiene techniques are essential. <br \/><br \/>&quot;This includes things like ensuring your bedroom environment is dark, cool and comfy, not eating a big meal within three hours of bedtime, getting some sunlight first thing in the morning and making sure you&#039;re not spending too much time in bed when you&#039;re not sleeping,&quot; Elena explains. <br \/><br \/>&quot;The enemy of a good sleep is focussing on it too much but if you&#039;re taking over 30 minutes on average to fall asleep, if you are waking up in the night and finding it hard to go back to sleep or you are still feeling really sleepy after a full 7-9 hours, these are some things that could be a concern.<br \/><br \/>&quot;If you do have a sleep issue related to falling asleep, staying asleep or waking up too early, then seeing a sleep psychologist is a first line treatment, and your GP can refer you to one.&quot; \t<\/span>\r\n\t<span

sleeping,&quot; Elena explains. <br \/><br \/>&quot;The enemy of a good sleep is focussing on it too much but if you&#039;re taking over 30 minutes on average to fall asleep, if you are waking up in

Senior Sleep Psychologist Elena says that practicing good sleep hygiene techniques are essential. <br \/><br \/>&quot;This includes things like ensuring your bedroom environment is dark, cool and comfy, not eating a big meal within three hours of bedtime, getting some sunlight first thing in the morning and making sure you&#039;re not spending too much time in bed when you&#039;re not sleeping,&quot; Elena explains. <br \/><br \/>&quot;The enemy of a good sleep is focussing on it too much but if you&#039;re taking over 30 minutes on average to fall asleep, if you are waking up in the night and finding it hard to go back to sleep or you are still feeling really sleepy after a full 7-9 hours, these are some things that could be a concern.<br \/><br \/>&quot;If you do have a
