Respite Caregiver Inverness, IL
It is difficult to be an informal caregiver because the job is demanding. Instead of using free time to relax, these individuals use their time to care for their loved ones. This can cause one to neglect their own health and well-being, becoming stressed and overwhelmed. Tens of millions of people in the United States are informal caregivers to a loved one. Of that number, two-thirds are women. One-fourth of all informal caregivers in the U.S. have said they suffer from poor to fair health, and this is due to the following factors:
- Stress: Given the amount of responsibility associated with caregiving, family caregivers can easily become stressed. These stress levels can be heightened given the family caregiver’s personal connection with the individual receiving care.
- Lack of Sleep and Restlessness: Stress makes it easier for people to have a restless mind, which can also make it difficult to sleep. Informal caregivers may also lack sleep because they don’t give themselves time to get a proper night’s rest. That said, this makes it easier for one to become burned out.
