Why do I have insomnia?

  First, environmental problems.  There are many external causes that may cause sleep disorders, and environmental factors are a very important one. The room is too bright, there is noise, or burning heating in winter, indoor air is too dry can affect the quality of human sleep. The current quality of life of many young people in the city is actually not ideal, such as many non-Beijing permanent residents, do not have their own house, often renting and moving, in order to facilitate the requirements of the mattress on the discount, and then some single young men and women, because of busy work, no time to take care of their lives, and no one can help him, so the layout of the bedroom is not very scientific. These seem to be very small things, but in fact, behind the scenes is often the hidden danger that causes insomnia.  The way to deal with it: actively eliminate environmental disturbances around sleep, such as soundproof windows, blackout curtains, etc. If you do not have time to take care of their own bed, it is recommended to use brown mats or hard sleepers such as tatami mats on the floor, Simmons is not only a bad sleeper who does not take care of it, but also easy to cause many other physical diseases, it is not recommended to choose.  Second, more patients because of the pressure of work.  General white-collar workers are often difficult to separate work and life distinctly, often after work is actually still working overtime. Or work or thinking about the work. This is especially true for people in management. Because have been working, so to sleep when the cerebral cortex is actually still in a state of excitement, so it is not good to sleep. In addition, many people in the workplace like to drink coffee, tea or cola and other drinks to refresh themselves, which contains caffeine is also prone to insomnia. So we generally recommend not drinking coffee, strong tea and other beverages at night, especially within two hours before going to bed. There are some friends, because the nature of the work is decided, itself is the circadian rhythm disorder, such as journalists, writers, often work late at night; engaged in design and creative work, also like to work late at night, because more inspired. There are also some jobs that must be on duty at night, such as doctors and nurses, police security work, these jobs affect the human circadian rhythm, for the human body, especially women’s psychosomatic damage is actually very large. Especially the nurses who are often on night duty, not allowed to sleep at night but also to maintain a high degree of alertness, because they are faced with life-threatening and medical risk work at any time, a night shift down the face is not right, go back to the day time to make up for the sleep, in fact, is not back.  Always pay attention to the pressure of their work. When you are busy at work, you can run at full capacity but not overload, otherwise your brain will crash. Although there are factors that cause insomnia at work, but at the same time there must be many actually we can rest but try not to sleep. The reason for this is the key to improving the quality of our sleep.  Third, the problems of life.  Some of the things that don’t go well in life can make us often fall into contemplation and concern, thus hindering good sleep. I have a patient, husband and wife, the wife insomnia for more than two years. In the major hospitals bounced around, Chinese medicine and Western medicine to eat a lot of just did not work. Later I got to know their family life a little better. It turns out that the husband likes to socialize. In the past, the family did not have money, so the husband socializing less, the last two years the family has money, the husband often go out drinking, disco, the wife is a very traditional people, not used to see the husband these, the husband and his wife too old-fashioned. So couples often conflict over these things. And the couple’s sex life has also receded to just once every month or two, tedious. The reason why the wife has insomnia at night is actually because late at night when the wife thinks about these things that upset her and tosses and turns.   Or insomnia due to some mental illness or degeneration of physiological functions, which is not really unusual. We are usually too nervous about insomnia, worried that once insomnia will have very serious consequences on the body, for this reason more worried, more sleepless, forming a vicious circle.  Insomnia is closely related to our personal state of mind, family relationships, and mental illness. In the eyes of psychiatrists, insomnia is not a single disease, but a common symptom that occurs with a variety of illnesses. Although insomnia itself is a disease, it is not a terrible one. Most insomnia can still be effectively treated through active psychological and pharmacological treatment.
