According to incomplete statistics from the Chinese Sleep Research Association, 38% of people in my country have various sleep disorders, which is higher than the world average of 27%. The public's low level of awareness of sleep disorders has greatly affected patients' medical treatment and recovery rates.

To put it simply, healthy sleep requires both quantity and quality. The quantity of sleep must be appropriate, and the quality must be ensured. Both are indispensable. ?Can't sleep, can't sleep well? These are all sleep disorders.

In order to obtain healthy sleep, individuals should establish a good mentality and lifestyle, develop a good regular work and rest time, and ensure the amount of sleep. In addition, eating a reasonable diet, strengthening physical exercise, controlling weight, and establishing a side-lying sleeping habit are all helpful in preventing and alleviating the symptoms of sleep disordered breathing. In addition, it is particularly important to improve sleep health awareness and establish a correct understanding of sleep diseases. If the symptoms are severe and the disease cannot be effectively controlled by relying solely on the above measures, you should go to a professional medical institution for diagnosis and treatment in time.

In addition, insomnia is another major sleep disease that people are concerned about. Through research on chronic insomnia patients and normal controls, it was found that some chronic insomnia patients with physiological arousal characteristics have a risk of high blood pressure exceeding 300-400 for normal people. The onset, development, control and treatment of sleep disorders are often a long-term process. People at risk and their families should be encouraged to learn more about sleep disorders and scientifically prevent and treat diseases.

Experts remind that if you want to improve your sleep, peace of mind is the key. In addition, you should live a regular life, create a good sleeping environment, and have a correct sleeping posture. You should avoid various negative stimuli and develop exercise habits before going to bed, so that it will be easier to fall asleep. Briefing on the activities of the 17th World Sleep Day Part 3
