Struggling to Sleep Due to Anxiety or Shift Work? Solutions Available in Preston
Living with anxiety-related insomnia or coping with irregular hours as a shift worker can leave you feeling exhausted, restless, and unable to concentrate. Fortunately, if you’re based in Preston or nearby areas, MedCare Health Clinic & Pharmacy offers personalised sleep support, treatments, and advice to help restore your rest.
How Anxiety Affects Sleep
Anxiety is one of the most common causes of disrupted sleep. It can:
- Delay the ability to fall asleep (racing thoughts, restlessness)
- Cause frequent night waking
- Lead to early morning wake-ups
- Reduce deep, restorative sleep cycles
This cycle of poor sleep can worsen anxiety, creating a frustrating loop. That’s why tailored support matters.
Challenges Shift Workers Face with Sleep
People working night shifts, rotating patterns, or early morning jobs often experience shift work sleep disorder (SWSD). Symptoms include:
- Insomnia during intended sleep hours
- Difficulty staying awake during shifts
- Daytime fatigue
Our Preston clinic supports shift workers in industries like healthcare, logistics, and retail with regulated melatonin treatments, lifestyle strategies, and safe non-addictive sleep aids.
