Insomnia is sleep disorder. It is manifested as difficulty in falling asleep, intermittent and incoherent, and waking up prematurely, not being able to go back to sleep after waking up, having sleep deprivation, general weakness and tiredness feeling. Insomnia is one of the common clinical conditions, although it is not a critical disease, but it hinders people’s normal life, work, study and health. Long-term insomnia should be noted, stubborn insomnia, the patient brings long-term pain, long-term lack of sleep, the brain does not get enough rest, there will be headaches, dizziness, memory loss, loss of appetite and other phenomena. If you take sleeping pills on your own to ensure sleep, in the long run, the body even form a dependence on sleeping pills, and long-term use of sleeping pills can cause medically induced diseases. Some insomniacs’ immunity is also damaged to a great extent, which eventually leads to serious health problems such as high blood pressure and ulcers. A survey of the current state of insomnia in the general population in six cities, including Shanghai, shows that the insomnia rate among adults in China is 57%, and about 50% of insomnia is accompanied by various mental. Among them, the young white-collar workers with high work pressure have the highest chance of suffering from “emotional insomnia”. Undeniably, most young people’s insomnia is caused by psychological factors, such as anxiety, worry, uneasiness, etc. According to incomplete surveys, most insomniacs have similar characteristics: sensitive, suspicious, indecisive, perfectionist, worrying, anxiety-prone, etc. Most white-collar insomnia is initially formed due to frequent overtime work, busy work and enormous pressure often makes them need to stay up late, or even work overnight. Over time, the biological clock has changed with the habit of sleeping late, and when it comes to trying to sleep, it also begins to be difficult to sleep, thus creating a nervousness about sleep. For emotional insomnia: 1, we must learn to self-adjust, you can find friends or trusted people around to confide in. It is not advisable to use sedative drugs to control insomnia on your own. Insomnia is caused by five major factors such as psychology, disease, drugs, environment and physical condition, and relying on sedative drugs can only be counterproductive. If we use sleep-related knowledge to explain and guide our insomniac friends, so that they understand more about sleep and reduce the unreasonable perception of sleep and fear and anxiety, we can fundamentally break the vicious circle of anxiety because of insomnia, and the more anxiety the more insomnia. 2, we can also turn to psychologists for the necessary psychotherapy. Psychologists recommend that do not lie in bed thinking about things, it is best to simplify the bedroom, do not do too many other things in the bedroom. In addition, do not take the ability to fall asleep too seriously. Sleep is also a natural reaction of the human body, sleepy and want to sleep, do not artificially control it, should take the natural attitude, not to deliberately control the emotions and thinking, perhaps in turn, can naturally fall asleep. The psychological treatment of insomnia is mainly divided into the following categories: 1, relaxation behavior therapy. Relaxation of the patient’s tension and anxiety, better and faster to help patients fall asleep. 2. Hypnotherapy. The application of certain hypnotic techniques to put people into a hypnotic state, and use positive suggestion to control the patient’s state of mind and body and behavior of a psychotherapy method, through the positive intention to eliminate anxiety, tension, fear and other negative intention. Hypnotherapy is very effective in treating insomnia. Under the induction of the hypnotist’s language, the patient can achieve relaxation of the whole body and even the deepest part of the mind. Chinese medicine is rich in the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia, which is called “sleeplessness” in Chinese medicine, with “imbalance of yin and yang” as the main pathogenic mechanism. In terms of specific diagnosis and treatment, there are five main types: 1. Liver stagnation and fire: mostly caused by irritation and boredom, manifesting as little sleep, impatience and irritability, red eyes and bitter mouth, dry stools, red tongue with yellow coating, and string and number of pulse. 2.Phlegm-heat internal disturbance: often caused by poor diet, overeating, overeating fat, sweet, raw and cold, or addiction to alcohol, resulting in heat in the intestines and stomach and phlegm-heat disturbance.
