Teenagers: playing games on the Internet before going to bed will affect the quality of sleep Young people: poor sleep is mostly due to emotional disorders, it is recommended to see a psychiatrist Older people: the elderly do not sleep well as a matter of course, should seek help from doctors Shift workers: minimize shift changes, increase nap time during the day Today is “World Sleep Day”. In the general impression, the inability to sleep, poor sleep is mostly the “patent” of the elderly. However, according to a survey recently released in Guangzhou, the insomnia population is showing a younger trend, with people aged 25 to 45 gradually becoming the main force. Sleep experts point out that at different stages of life, we may face different sleep problems. Don’t think that a toddler with a simple mind will sleep well. Don’t think that it’s normal for older people to have a bad night’s sleep either. In fact, there are hundreds of reasons for poor sleep. So, what is it that is taking away our sleep? What are the sleep problems of each age group? Our reporter recently interviewed a number of experts. Pediatricians: they should go to bed around 9 p.m. “The younger the child, the more sleep they need.” Jiang Fan pointed out that, in fact, most of the lack of sleep in children and adults related, in addition to some adults add too much homework for children, there are adults often stay up late, children also followed by staying up late to play, and the next day also get up early to go to school, over time, natural sleep deprivation. “We have seen a case, a 5-year-old child is always in kindergarten nap bed, morning class is always no spirit, more and more grumpy, to the hospital diagnosed as sleep deprivation.” Jiang Fan suggested that adults can go to bed at around 11 o’clock, but children should generally go to bed at around 9 o’clock. In addition, some children want their mothers to tell him the story of “Ultraman” before going to bed, the result is too excited, it is difficult to sleep, or although asleep, but the cerebral cortex has not quiet down, the story into the dream world, sleep all night is equal to “fight all night”, will also affect the quality of sleep. The quality of sleep will also be affected. Teenagers: addicted to the Internet affects the sleep of the increasing number of a senior boy, developed the habit of playing games. When he was in junior high school, he always used to play games after his homework was done, playing until 12 p.m. before going to bed. But after high school, homework becomes a lot, after doing homework are 11 o’clock, and then play games, to the midnight one or two o’clock. Over time, the young man often lie to bed but late to sleep, more and more grumpy, appetite is also getting worse. Every morning, he skipped breakfast because he slept in, and even a few classes in the morning, are also spent in sleep. Jiang Fan said, this situation is typical of the “sleep phase delay syndrome”, in the addicted to the Internet adolescents are more common, through a period of time to adjust the work and rest, the patient is easier to correct, sleep quality will also improve. “The Internet can make the cerebral cortex very excited, more likely to cause insomnia than other activities.” Experts warn that especially patients who have had sleep disorders are more likely to suffer from insomnia after surfing the Internet. Strong people: insomnia is mostly related to emotional problems Among strong people between the ages of 30 and 40 are most likely to have sleep disorders. Jiang Fan said that people in this age group are old and young, work in an up-and-down position, facing great pressure for promotion. On the one hand, the pressure is increasing, on the other hand, the body begins to go downhill, whether it is physical disease, or mental and emotional disorders, may be manifested through sleep disorders. ”Among the middle-aged people who come to see sleep problems, in fact, many of them have emotional problems of excessive anxiety and depression, but they do not want to admit it themselves.” Jiang Fan points out that when they come across such patients, doctors will suggest that they see a psychiatrist, but the patients themselves are very reluctant, and they prefer to believe that they have a simple sleep problem. They prefer to believe that they have a simple sleep problem, but they can’t treat the cause of the problem, and only use sleeping pills to relieve the symptoms, which is a typical “headache, foot pain” approach. For example, if you have insomnia caused by depression, you should not take sleeping pills indiscriminately, otherwise it will lead to more and more serious insomnia. In addition, women may experience poor sleep during menopause. In fact, men also have menopause, and similar to middle-aged women, men may also show insomnia, to pay attention to the menopause.
