Ms. Liu is a company engaged in orders and inventory management staff, which is a tedious and requires a high degree of responsibility of the post, Ms. Liu will often have difficulty falling asleep at night, easy to wake up, difficulty falling asleep again and dreamy situation, she was worried that this will affect the energy and efficiency of the day, so she tried various methods, and even formed a closed doors and windows, close the phone, wear soundproof headphones, hot She tried various methods and even developed more than ten “bedtime rituals” such as closing doors and windows, turning off cell phones, wearing soundproof headphones, and soaking her feet in hot water, hoping that this would improve her sleep. At first, sleep could be improved, but later she found that as long as a certain step was missing before bed, she would worry about the quality of sleep that night; gradually, Ms. Liu became more and more nervous and anxious, and even after completing all the steps before bed, she could not fall asleep normally. At the time of the consultation, she was described as “afraid of the dark, afraid of seeing the bed”. The importance of sleep is indisputable, and the quality of sleep is becoming the target of public attention. We often find that many patients who originally suffer from mild insomnia aggravate their insomnia due to excessive attention to sleep, excessive attention to sleep and excessive medical treatment, and even serious anxiety, depression, tension, irritability and other negative emotions. Emotions, many people think that the right concept of sleep also exists among the misconceptions. For example: 1. Unrealistic expectations of sleep time, that sleep time should not be less than 8 hours per night or should go to bed and fall asleep immediately, otherwise it is insomnia. In fact, occasional sleep disorders such as reduced sleep hours are the body’s normal response to external stimuli, and can generally be naturally relieved. 2, worried that insomnia will lead to serious lesions of the body organs, the negative emotions during the day such as anxiety, irritability and all the physical discomfort are blamed on the impact of insomnia, sleep as an extremely difficult task, sleep has become the top priority, thus creating a sense of fear of insomnia. In fact, the human body’s sunrise and daytime is regulated by the sleep-wake mechanism, a brief sleep disorder does not interfere with normal physiology, and excessive self-referral will often involuntarily make their mood worse, thus adding to the insomnia at night. 3, a long time to maintain some non-functional sleep behavior, such as very early at night to try to “cultivate” sleep, or even a series of “rituals” to brew sleep; wake up in the morning to try to sleep again for a long time; more time to lie in bed during the day, trying to make up for In fact, long daytime sleep will interfere with the body’s sleep-wake mechanism, making the emergence of sleepiness at night more difficult, in the face of long awakenings at night and the night environment, many patients secondary to anxiety, depression and other symptoms, the result is that many patients are drowsy during the day, thinking about sleep, but at night into the bedroom, especially after lying in bed Immediately after entering the bedroom at night, especially after lying in bed, they become nervous and restless, and cannot sleep for several hours, and their emotions then become more anxious, fearful, depressed, distracted, and even worse than death. Nighttime anxiety and insomnia form a vicious circle, insomnia leads to anxiety, and anxiety aggravates insomnia. 4, long-term hostility to drug treatment. Medical treatment is necessary for patients diagnosed with primary insomnia or secondary insomnia symptoms that cannot be improved by self-regulation and when symptoms persist and cause changes in other areas. Many patients refuse to take medications to improve sleep because they believe that they will produce severe dependence and other adverse reactions, thus worsening their insomnia symptoms. In fact, there are various treatments for insomnia, including medication, Chinese medicine, physiotherapy, acupuncture, etc. and other non-medical treatments, and the focus is not exactly the same. For example, sleep-aiding western medicine is usually helpful for falling asleep quickly, Chinese medicine is more effective for improving early awakening and excessive dreaming at night, while physiotherapy is more significant for improving dizziness and anxiety caused by long-term insomnia, etc. Moreover, a reasonable dose and course of sleep aids taken under the guidance of a doctor can be completely trusted, and the rate of adverse reactions will not exceed that of other common drugs. A few suggestions for improving sleep: 1. Sleep only at night. Without special circumstances, do not sleep during the daytime, even if you feel tired and weary, do not lie down in bed. 2. Go to bed only when you feel like sleeping. Do not do any things that are not related to sleep, such as reading in bed, watching TV, etc. 3.If you cannot fall asleep within half an hour after going to bed or cannot fall back to sleep within half an hour after waking up early at night, choose to get dressed and leave the bedroom to sit alone or read lightly and wait for sleep. 4. Medications and other treatments can help you rather than the other way around. Remember to take your medication at bedtime rather than in the middle of the night, and remember that you can only stop taking your medication in the future if you take it now.
