Raydawn Summerson Client Name: Raydawn Summerson Client Age: 32 Client Gender: Female Client Occupation: Manager of a fast food restaurant Client Background Ms. Summerson has a brief history of insomnia. She has always taken a while to get to sleep, but since moving to her new job as a manager of a fast food restaurant, she has had increasing trouble sleeping. She sometimes cannot get to sleep until five or 6 in the morning, and when she does get to sleep, she may awaken in the early morning and not be able to get back to sleep. This has resulted in fatigue during the day while she is at work. Ms. Summerson has resorted to taking a ten-minute nap in her car in the middle of the afternoon during a break. She finds that she can fall asleep easily in this environment and wakes easily to the sound of her watch alarm. Ms. Summerson has tried going to bed earlier to have more time to get to sleep and exercising for an hour before bedtime in the hope that fatigue will make her sleepy. She has also tried lavender aromatherapy candles, but she finds that she worries that the house will catch fire if she falls asleep. Questions to be considered: While in the short term, Ms. Summerson does not have too many sleep problems, what problems would you predict would occur as she continues on this schedule? What types of things might Ms. Summerson do to improve her ability to get to sleep and to stay asleep? Recommendations What recommendation would you make to Ms. Summerson to improve her ability to get to sleep and her waking performance?
