Most chronic insomnia is psychological in nature. Initial insomnia may be caused by physical reasons, but insomnia maintained for a long time is definitely related to psychological reasons. Just like a match to light a fire, a large fire to last burning to a large amount of fuel and oxygen, otherwise it will naturally go out. Most insomniacs have the following irrational thinking: 1. Insomnia is seen as too serious: Some people believe that long-term insomnia can cause mental illness or other serious consequences. Therefore, once insomnia is very nervous. In fact, although insomnia has some adverse effects, but the consequences are not serious, many people have been insomniac for decades and still live a good life. 2, perfectionist thinking: some people believe that sleep must be deep, the time must reach eight hours, once they do not meet their own prescribed goals, they are very angry. If you don’t get enough sleep, you make up for it during the day, and the more you make up for it, the worse it gets. The fact that there are a few occasional insomnia is not a big deal. 3, lack of flexibility: some people give themselves a lot of sleep conditions, such as what time they must go to bed, what time they go to sleep, where to sleep, can not change, if the doctor told him to sleep later, he will refuse to change, think that after that time period can not sleep. Long-term insomnia itself shows that you have a problem with sleep, why can not do something to change it? 4, and insomnia fight: some people once insomnia, very angry, themselves to their own fight, must fall asleep can not, tell themselves: sleep, sleep. Or count, anxious sweating, imagine, impatient when you can sleep? Therefore, to solve insomnia, the first thing you need to do is to remove the above irrational thinking, maintain the insomnia factors are not removed, just rely on the medicine is not possible. To remove irrational thinking, most need the help of a psychologist.
