Paralyzed patient’s sleep is related to sleep environment, sleep time reversal, mental factors and other reasons.
1. Sleep environment: paralyzed patients will be bedridden for a longer period of time, due to the gradual decline of body functions, the demand for sleep environment is getting higher and higher, the sleep is relatively shallow, a little bit of movement will wake up, and there will be the phenomenon of less sleep. Elderly paralyzed people, because of the cerebral cortex function decline, metabolism slows down, the secretion of melatonin decreases, may affect the elderly sleep time and sleep quality.
2. Sleep time reversal: paralyzed patients sleep too long in bed during the day, which may lead to sleep time reversal and less sleep at night.
3. Mental factors: paralysis will have physical and mental effects on the patient, mental anxiety, depression, neurasthenia, neurosis, mania and other manifestations, resulting in excessive neural excitability, which will reduce the quality of sleep, and there may be less sleep performance.
There are many reasons why paralyzed patients have less sleep, and in serious cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and adjustment.
