The main causes of insomnia are physical and mental. Somatic causes mainly refer to insomnia caused by physical disorders, such as apnea syndrome, hyperthyroidism, pain, etc. Mental causes mainly refer to insomnia caused by mental illness and mental stress. For example, depression, manic episodes, schizophrenia, etc. can all cause insomnia. At the same time, insomnia can also occur when people encounter major life events, anger and other mental tensions. The treatment of insomnia mainly consists of allopathic treatment and symptomatic treatment. Insomnia is only a symptom, we need to find the cause of insomnia with the help of doctors, i.e. the original cause. Once the primary cause is treated, insomnia will naturally improve. For example, if the primary cause of insomnia is depression, after antidepressant treatment, the patient’s mood improves and so does his or her sleep. In addition to treating the primary cause, managing one’s emotions is also an important aspect of allopathic treatment. How to manage our mood? 1. Develop a positive way of perception. There is always a positive side and a negative side to everything. And we always habitually see only the negative side of things, which makes us easily angry, negative emotions, etc.. A negative person will say, “It’s only half a glass of water!” And a positive person would say, “Ah, there’s still half a glass!” Which way of thinking are you? Take insomnia, for example. The vast majority of people who suffer from insomnia feel so miserable that almost no one will think about what positive things can come out of it. When I give health education to insomnia patients in the community, I lead people to think about what positive things insomnia has to offer. Many people began to think positively about insomnia. Some said, “Insomnia makes me stay awake longer”; some said, “Insomnia can be an excuse to excuse myself from activities I don’t really like”; others said, “When I have insomnia, I think more clearly and can I can think better about life”. If we can think in a different way and look at the positive side of things, we will have a better mood and thus avoid insomnia caused by anger. 2. Learn to express negative emotions. Even if we have a positive way of perception, but also inevitably negative emotions, such as frustration, anger, aggression, sadness, etc.. With these negative emotions, if we can not express it in time, this will make our hearts suffer a lot of damage. Negative emotions are like floods, if you only know how to block them, then one day, the flood will destroy your dam. Therefore, we have to manage our negative emotions like the Great Yu did, i.e., we should express our negative emotions in a way that “can be unblocked but not blocked”. How to express them? We have the following ways to express our negative emotions: first, talk to our relatives, friends or psychotherapists; second, exercise or shout in the open; third, integrate ourselves into a beautiful environment, such as travel; fourth, write out our negative emotions in words, such as an emotional diary. Everyone can choose one or more ways to express their negative emotions according to their own situation.
