The physical discomfort caused by the side effects of chemotherapy or drugs, as well as the psychological fear of cancer, is the reason why many cancer patients “can’t sleep at night”. In the long run, more and more fear of insomnia and excessive worry about the consequences of insomnia, so that insomnia patients are often caught in a vicious circle, not cured. How to sleep well? In this article, we have thoughtfully organized several methods to try. Insomnia is one of the common symptoms of tumor patients. According to domestic statistics, 59% of cancer patients suffer from sleep disorders, while for the general population, the figure is 15%. The occurrence of insomnia leads to a serious impact on patients’ quality of life, and in the long run, it will interfere with their body’s immune system, affecting their body’s metabolism, decreasing their own immunity, and greatly increasing the risk of cancer recurrence! Therefore, improving sleep quality is an issue that cannot be ignored in the process of tumor treatment and rehabilitation. In fact, if we put ourselves in the shoes of tumor patients, from the time they accept the fact that they have cancer, what they have to go through physically and psychologically is a difficult process. Apart from the physical pain and discomfort, they may often wonder in their mind: “Why me?”, “What have I done wrong? , “What have I done wrong?” “How long do I have to live?” Negative emotions such as pain, anger, helplessness, despair, anxiety, etc. fill their minds, especially when it is late at night, this feeling will be more intense, and it becomes more difficult to fall asleep. As the patient’s family as well as the doctor, the patient must need to be allowed to have such an emotional reaction process. Insomnia is also a huge pain for the patient. So how can patients effectively treat sleep disorders and sleep well at night? 1, eliminate bad psychology, maintain a stable state of mind Have a correct understanding of the disease they suffer from as well as the adverse reactions caused by the treatment, and strive to exclude the inner nervousness, anxiety, fear and other psychological, so that they maintain a calm and stable state of mind. 2.Creating a comfortable sleeping environment A familiar, quiet, comfortable, air-circulating environment is conducive to fast sleep. For example, keep the environment quiet and ventilate regularly (avoid convective wind); keep the air fresh, the light dull, and the temperature suitable (20-22℃); the mattress is soft and hard, and the pillow is at the right height; wear soft and loose pajamas to sleep. 3, active prevention and treatment of intolerable pain or discomfort Night pain is often the main factor causing insomnia. According to the cause, location and nature of the pain, use a variety of analgesic methods, such as sedatives, painkillers, acupuncture to relieve or eliminate pain. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are very effective in treating insomnia, but remember that you must find a professional doctor. 4, develop good sleep habits and routine routine Comply with the laws of the biological clock, try to keep the same time every day to get up and go to bed; should not be bedridden for too long during the day, appropriate outdoor activities; adhere to the nap, but should be avoided for too long (generally no more than one hour); if you wake up in the evening, to do not look at the time, so as not to increase the sense of anxiety, close your eyes and try to self-hypnotize. Warm tips: adults generally sleep 7-8 hours a day for the best, the elderly generally 5-7 hours appropriate. 5, pre-bedtime emotional management is very important to avoid pre-bedtime to participate in activities that can make the brain excited or emotional excitement. Such as listening to strong rhythmic music, watching books and movies that are tense and exciting, playing some “addictive” video games and chess and other highly competitive and confrontational projects, and chatting with others should be avoided to avoid causing arguments and disputes on the topic. 6, pay attention to the diet before going to bed Dinner should be in moderation, should not eat stimulating food for the stomach, to avoid going to sleep in a state of overfilling or hunger, before going to bed, should not drink coffee, tea and other beverages that can cause brain excitement. 7, the rational use of sedative, sleeping pills If long-term insomnia, or insomnia is more serious, sedative, sleeping pills are necessary, but should pay attention to the rational use of drugs. To prevent long-term use of drugs will produce dependence on drugs and side effects of drugs. 8, other methods, such as foot bath or shower before going to bed, can accelerate blood circulation, relax muscles and nerves, conducive to sleep. Another example is through music therapy for mental relaxation and decompression, so that it is easier to fall asleep. In addition, according to the research of Professor Berry Darby, an immunologist from the University of Florida, self-hypnosis training also helps to improve human immunity, which plays a vital role in preventing cancer recurrence in tumor patients. In conclusion, if tumor patients encounter insomnia, they should not bear too much psychological pressure, and firmly believe that as long as they analyze and actively solve the influencing factors of insomnia, learn self-regulation methods, and give medication when necessary, they can definitely improve the quality of their sleep, which will improve the quality of their life and enhance their confidence in overcoming the disease.
