Not only can't sleep, but it can also be called insomnia? These four conditions are sleep disorders.

According to the survey published by Taiwan Province Sleep Medical Association in 20 17, the prevalence rate of chronic insomnia in Taiwan Province Province is11.3%; According to the statistics of MacKay Hospital, the prevalence rate of chronic insomnia in Taiwan Province Province has reached 15%. In other words, 1 person in every 9 people in Taiwan Province suffers from insomnia. However, if you want to say insomnia, you can't simply say "can't sleep". In fact, it should be divided into three situations in more detail.

There are four types of sleep disorders. For insomniacs, the most obvious feeling is that they are dissatisfied with the quality and time of their sleep. Sleep disorders caused by insomnia are mainly divided into four symptoms: difficulty in falling asleep, sleeping when waking up, long-term shallow sleep, and waking up early. These four situations can appear independently or simultaneously.

First, it is difficult to fall asleep:

The medical definition of difficulty in falling asleep is that when a person goes to bed and closes his eyes, if a child or teenager does not fall asleep within 30 minutes, and if an adult does not fall asleep within 1 hour, it may be a manifestation of difficulty in falling asleep. In clinical diagnosis, it is very common to lie in bed for 2 or 3 hours but never fall asleep.

Second, wake up while sleeping:

Wake-up refers to the situation that you wake up a lot at night and it takes some time to fall asleep again. In general, everyone should not wake up more than twice at night. Even if he goes to bed and toilet because of urgency, it is normal to fall asleep immediately after lying down again. If he often wakes up for more than 30 minutes at a time, it represents the symptoms of sleep disorder.

Third, long-term shallow sleep:

Some patients with sleep disorders are not unable to sleep, but are in a shallow sleep state for a long time during sleep, and the deep sleep time is too short. Because of the poor quality of sleep, even if you sleep for 7 or 8 hours, you will still feel overwhelmed and exhausted in the morning.

Fourth, wake up too early:

Early awakening means waking up earlier than usual 1 hour or more. For example, getting up at 7 o'clock at ordinary times, but getting up at 6 o'clock for a period of time, or even earlier, can be called waking up early. In addition, there is also a criterion to evaluate waking up too early, that is, the overall sleep time is less than 5 hours.

What are the causes of sleep disorders? The causes of these sleep disorders are psychological, physiological and even caused by specific diseases, including:

1, environmental factors: sleeping environment, such as high room temperature, strong ambient light, loud external noise, uncomfortable bed, etc. , can cause insomnia.

2, psychological factors: excessive psychological pressure, anxiety or sadness, may cause insomnia, in addition, serious mental illness, such as perceptual disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, etc., will also cause insomnia.

3. Medical factors: All kinds of pain and discomfort in specific parts of the body caused by any reason, such as toothache, angina pectoris, postoperative wound discomfort, frequent urination at night, etc., will cause insomnia.

4, drugs, food factors: For example, drinking too much alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee before going to bed, or abusing drugs harmful to the central nervous system, such as asthma drugs, central nervous system stimulants, etc., can also cause insomnia.

5. Age factor: Even normal elderly people may have a tendency to reduce their sleep time and increase their waking time at night. However, some menopausal women will suffer from insomnia because of the disorder of autonomic nervous system function.

Once there is a sleep disorder, it will easily lead to daytime fatigue, memory loss, inattention, bad temper, anxiety and depression. These are very important manifestations of insomnia, and only these manifestations will be called obstacles, otherwise it is simply difficulty falling asleep.

Short-term insomnia is not called sleep disorder. It is worth noting that insomnia develops in the course of a disease, and the duration of insomnia diagnosis must be conditional. Generally speaking, you must sleep for three days seven days a week, otherwise insomnia will last for a month, even if it is a clear sleep disorder.

If you want to solve the problem of sleep disorder, you can improve it from three aspects. If you want to solve the annoying problem of sleep disorder, you can improve it from three aspects:

First, establish good sleep habits and environment:

Get up on time every morning, try not to sleep during the day, take a nap for no more than 1 hour, stay in bed before 1 1 hour at night, avoid eating too much food before going to bed, drink less water, and do not drink alcohol, coffee or strong tea after meals. Keep the indoor temperature suitable and have a quiet and dark environment when you fall asleep.

Second, psychotherapy:

Supportive psychotherapy can be used to alleviate patients' fear of insomnia, or learn to express their inner emotions, or adjust external pressure.

Third, drug treatment:

Taking hypnotic drugs can immediately improve the quality of sleep, but the efficacy will gradually decline after two weeks, and many patients will become dependent on drugs and have to take them for a long time. Patients should cooperate with doctors as much as possible, and do not increase the dose at will.
