OBHS SAYS . . . IS THIS YOU?
Sleepless In A Wood Frame
Bill is a senior who has a lot on his plate. He is writing a thesis and trying to figure out what he is going to do after graduation. Although he is busy with his academic work, he is organized and uses his time efficiently. He does not have as much time to socialize as he would like, but he has friends and goes out on weekends. He seems to be functioning well, but he has one problem. There are nights when he has difficulty falling asleep. Generally he is able to fall asleep within twenty minutes of going to bed. On his “bad” nights it can take him several hours to fall asleep, leaving him sluggish and irritable the next day. One “bad” night generally leads to several consecutive nights of difficulty. Bill has had some difficulties with sleep in the past, but never to this extent. He is now worried that his academics will suffer and that he will not be able to complete his thesis.
What can Bill do and where can he go for help?
There are resources for Bill at OBHS. OBHS knows how important sleep is to maintain good mental health. We have worked with many students to help them restore normal sleep patterns.
