First, the cause of insomnia should be clarified. Insomnia can be caused by depression, typically manifested by early awakening. Insomnia can also be caused by various anxiety disorders or normal anxiety, commonly characterized by difficulty falling asleep. Insomnia can also be caused by physical conditions such as sleep apnea (seen especially in obese people who snore) and high blood pressure. Depression caused by depression should be treated, and anxiety caused by anxiety should be treated. It is difficult to treat insomnia by taking sleeping pills without addressing the cause behind it. Simple insomnia without depression or anxiety is called sleep disorder. But this condition probably accounts for less than 1/3 of all insomnia. Even if simple insomnia occurs without anxiety, insomnia itself can make a person anxious: anxiety about insomnia. Fear of not being able to sleep, and the more you fear not being able to sleep, the more you can’t sleep! Every day when you lie in bed, you start to worry about what to do if you can’t sleep. This tension, really can not sleep! Sleep itself is not a thing that can be done by effort, the nature of sleep is the body’s fatigue triggered by the physiological response, so the attitude before going to bed is very important, yes, sleep must also have a proper attitude. This attitude is, I am tired, I want to rest. Not how long I have to fall asleep now! So, after lying down, to have a rest mentality, rather than trying to sleep mentality, sleep does not matter, do not care about the problem of sleep or not, I want to rest my body, lying in bed, feel the tired body contact mattress sheets and quilt comfortable feeling, and then stay in this feeling of rest, do not think about how to sleep, sleep can not pull down, anyway, sleep can not My body can also get rest, anyway, if you are anxious is not able to sleep, it is better not to think about it. The can’t sleep, forget it mentality works for most people! The time to go to bed is around 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. If you go to bed after 11:00 a.m. or even at 12:00 a.m., your sleep efficiency will be reduced. People who are prone to insomnia must have the same rest time as usual on their rest days (very important). Do not stay up late and do not sleep. If you have to stay up late, do not sleep more than 1 hour late and do not get up 1 hour later than usual, otherwise the rhythm of sleeping too much will be disrupted and you will not be able to sleep at the time later, and you will not be able to get up at the time in the morning, finally forming a vicious circle! Avoid drinking alcohol, avoid caffeinated drinks (coffee, cola, tea). Avoid eating before going to bed (this habit also increases weight significantly), avoid drinking a lot of water before going to bed (to reduce nighttime rising and avoid holding urine during sleep). Avoid daytime naps. Avoid looking at your watch. Don’t stay in bed during the week except when you are sleeping. When you can’t get up in the morning, use bright light to illuminate and open the curtains. In winter, when there is no sunlight in the morning, turn on the fluorescent light. Keep the habit of exercise helps to improve sleep, swimming, jogging, only effective if you stick to it, but to end within four hours before bedtime, of course, exercise in addition to improving sleep benefits there are many. Some green indoor arrangements help people relax and help sleep. The worst case, to a variety of treatments are ineffective, certain people need to take sleeping pills every day to do so, many people are in fact, sleeping pills do exist dependence, addiction, but people are worried about slowly eating people silly, and afraid to eat, which is not so much. I have heard of many people who have been taking sleeping pills for decades and really haven’t eaten badly. However, this is the worst case scenario, and if this is not the case, it is better to find a way to actively seek medical treatment, and the methods described above can work for most people.
