Grief and Sleep

It’s common for people to experience a change in their sleeping pattern in the days, weeks and months following the loss of a loved one.  If you were a caregiver prior to the loss, then this sleeplessness can be intensified.  People who are grieving may have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.  On the other end of the spectrum, grievers may find it difficult to stay awake.  Sleep patterns can even fluctuate between the two extremes: some days the sleep never comes, while other days, it’s hard to get up.   Find out more about grief and sleep in this week's Changing Lives podcast.
