The 3 Sleep Factors Most People Overlook
What if your sleep problem isn't actually a sleep problem?
Dr Dave McCarty's final three fingers encourage us to look wider.
đ Medical Factors
From vitamin deficiencies to underlying health conditions, many medical issues can leave us feeling exhausted and unwell.
đ Psychiatric & Psychosocial Factors
Stress.
Trauma.
Feeling unsafe.
Mental health challenges.
These can all profoundly shape our sleep-wake experience.
đ¤ Primary Sleep Diagnoses
Interestingly, this comes last.
Not because conditions like sleep apnoea aren't important - they are.
But because focusing on them too early can sometimes cause us to miss everything else.
The lesson?
Good healthcare is rarely about finding one answer.
It's about remaining curious enough to see the whole picture.
