Anxiety sleeplessness how to regulate

If the exact reason is that you can’t sleep because of anxiety, the treatment consists of two aspects, one is anti-anxiety and the other is anti-insomnia. Anti-anxiety treatment, in clinical practice, is mainly based on drugs. The selection of drugs should pay attention to the clinical characteristics of the patient and the individual response, choose different drugs. The most commonly used anti-anxiety drugs are benzodiazepines, which have sedative, hypnotic and anti-anxiety effects, representative drugs are alprazolam, diazepam, eszopiclone and clonazepam, as well as lorazepam, and other antidepressants of the SSRI class can also be used. Although they are classified as antidepressants, but their anti-anxiety effect is exact, and the adverse effects are relatively small. For sleeplessness can also be treated with these drugs, it is recommended to use the new benzodiazepines, because these drugs are less side effects than the old Valium drugs, the efficacy is also better, addiction is also small. If you want to treat both anxiety and insomnia, use benzodiazepines in the acute phase because they can be used for both anti-anxiety and anti-insomnia. Whether or not treatment is done with medication, the first step is to help the patient establish healthy sleep habits. Because most people who do not sleep well are related to their poor sleep habits and misconceptions about sleep, it is important to keep patients on a regular schedule. Don’t be too nervous about not being able to sleep for a short period of time. Some people just can’t sleep for a few nights and then start to be anxious, nervous and worried about falling asleep, which is totally unnecessary. Because a short time can not sleep, will not produce too serious consequences. In addition, do not eat excitatory food before going to bed, like coffee, tea, and avoid strenuous exercise before going to bed, do not do brain work that can easily cause excitement, or watch movies, books, etc. that can easily cause excitement.
