Pain can be a major disruption to the restoration achieved during a successful night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n Pain and disturbed sleep can create a negative cycle:<\/p>\n Pain As a Cause<\/strong><\/p>\n Pain can make it difficult for us to fall asleep, wake us up after we\u2019ve begun to sleep, or cause us to have non-\u00ad\u2010restorative sleep.<\/p>\n Pain As a Result<\/strong><\/p>\n Sleeplessness, on the other hand, can lower a person\u2019s threshold of pain during waking hours, and it can also impair recovery, extending the intensity or duration of pain.<\/p>\n The brain\u2019s reactions to pain and to sleep are vastly different. The dichotomy between pain and sleep make it difficult for the brain to decide a correct course of action. Pain prompts the brain into a state of hyper-\u00ad\u2010reactivity, protecting the injured organ or tissue, gauging the progression of the pain, and problem-\u00ad\u2010solving for remedies. The body is trying desperately to convince the mind to pay attention.<\/p>\n Sleep, oppositely, prompts the brain into a state of hypo-\u00ad\u2010reactivity, disengaging the senses, cooling the body and retreating to regeneration. The sleepy mind begs the body to relax and release.<\/p>\n What makes for a good sleeping environment?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sleep Factors<\/p>\n Under the care of a physician, determine the origin of the cycle \u2013 was the pain first? Or the disturbed sleep? Once you understand the beginning of the circle, you and your doctor can take steps to eliminate the pain and reinstate a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”#f5f5f5″ inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”ACCEPTED INSURANCE” title=”ACCEPTED INSURANCES” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off” icon_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle=”off” circle_color=”#7EBEC5″ use_circle_border=”off” circle_border_color=”#7EBEC5″ icon_placement=”top” animation=”top” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” image=”https:\/\/centerforpainfargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/homepage-curcle-buttons-bottom-panel-insurance.png” url=”\/accepted-insurances\/” alt=”Accepted Insurances”] View<\/a> <\/strong>a complete list of insurances.
