Counseling Lawyers Who Need More Sleep

Lawyer Career Consulting DC helps lawyers who suffer sleep deprivation because they have no time for sleep, can’t fall asleep, sleep poorly, or wake up too early.

Sleep deprivation is a major social problem, affecting lawyers disproportionately. Sleep loss impairs:

• professional functioning;
• professional and personal relationships; and
• a lawyer’s state of mind, contributing to many mood disorders, especially depression.

Lawyer Career Consulting DC can help you assess and address your sleeping issues:

• Difficulty Falling Asleep: Worried about their work and other matters, many lawyers are too anxious to fall asleep, staying up late hoping they will sleep when they finally go to bed.
• Poor Quality of Sleep: Many lawyers sleep poorly, rarely experiencing the benefits of prolonged, deep sleep.
• Difficulty Staying Asleep: Many lawyers awaken during the night, worried about their law cases or about financial and personal matters.
• Awakening Too Early: Other lawyers wake up early and can’t get back to sleep, leaving the lawyer nothing to do but to go into work early.

Lawyer Career Consulting DC can:

• Assess your sleep patterns, to determine if you suffer a sleep disorder;
• Help you implement practices of good sleep hygiene;
• Assess underlying emotional causes of disrupted sleep;
• Address the connection between your work and sleep patterns;
• Discuss the benefits of regular exercise andquiet time for sleep;
• Assess pros and cons of sleep medications; and
• Refer you, if needed, to a sleep clinic to assess for possible sleep apnea.

A tired lawyer is an unhappy lawyer. Lawyer Career Consulting DC can help you get sufficient sleep in order to maintain your functioning and also your peace of mind
