How do I know that my sleep quality or quantity is not sufficient?
You have an increased need for sleep during the day and fall asleep quickly and frequently in monotonous situations (TV, lectures, as a passenger in the car in front of a red light, etc.).
You are dissatisfied with your own sleep quality. You have difficulty falling asleep or lie awake for long periods at night. In addition, the quality of sleep affects your well-being during the day: you are irritable, tired or even feel ill. In addition, your performance is impaired. This condition occurs frequently and over a long period of time (e.g. more than one month).
Nightmares
You suffer from recurring nightmares and feel emotionally burdened by these nightmares.
