Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder that occurs despite proper sleep opportunities and environments, with recurrent difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep or waking up early, and associated with impaired daytime functioning. Insomnia can be manifested as a long-term inability to fall asleep after lying down, frequent waking up at night, difficulty falling back asleep after waking up, or early waking up early in the morning and not being able to continue sleeping. Long-term insomnia severely affects daytime work, learning, and life, leading to decreased attention, memory loss, mood disturbances, and important risks to physical and mental health.
The causes of insomnia are often the result of a combination of factors. Sensitivity factors include genetic tendencies, anxiety-sensitive personality traits, etc. ; common inducing factors include life stress, work-academic burden, mood swings, anxiety, depression, stress; sudden life events, clock disorders caused by overtime or overtime; ambiance noise or overheating; drinking coffee or alcohol before bed; certain diseases (pain, respiratory diseases, methane, etc.
) and medications; maintenance factors include unhealthy behaviors such as excessive anxiety about insomnia, prolonged bedtime, and daytime supplements that delay insomnia. The core manifestations of insomnia are impaired daytime sleep quality. Patients experience nighttime sleepiness, nighttime sleepiness, daytime sleepiness, sleep deprivation, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, irritable mood, work and learning efficiency.
Long-term insomnia can also lead to headaches, headaches, heartburn, gastrointestinal disorders, and increased risk of anxiety, depression, hypertension, diabetes, and decreased immunity. The diagnosis of insomnia relies primarily on detailed diagnosis and evaluation of sleep patterns. Multidirectional sleep monitoring can be performed to make a clear diagnosis for people suspected of having combined sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome; insomnia caused by mood disorders must be assessed.
Non-drug methods for treating insomnia, such as preferential cognitive behavioral therapy, are also an internationally recognized linear approach. The main ones include: stimulation control therapies (sleep only when you want to sleep, bed only when you want to sleep, get out of bed when you can't sleep), sleep restriction therapies (sleep shortening, improving sleep efficiency), relaxation training, cognitive rebuilding (correcting cognitive impairment in sleep), sleep health education (regular breathing, avoiding stimulation before bed, creating a quiet and comfortable sleep environment). Medication therapy is mainly used for short-term relief, with the common use of nitric acid receptor stimulators, non-nitric acid receptor sleeping pills (Zopiclone, Right Zopiclone, etc.
), melanin receptor stimulators, anti-depressants with hypnotic effects, etc. , should be prescribed for short-term, on-demand use, avoiding long-term dependence. Avoid drinking coffee and tea after noon, dinner filters or hunger; exercise moderately during the day, but avoid vigorous exercise before bed; the bedroom remains quiet, dark, and the temperature is appropriate.
If insomnia lasts for more than two weeks and affects your life, seek timely medical attention, systemic treatment under professional guidance, and avoid long-term sleep medication abuse on your own.
