Urban people’s life is stressful, which not only causes gastrointestinal problems (for details, please see: https://gutolution.com/blogs/news/urban people’s work is stressful - prone to various gastrointestinal problems - probiotics can help you), it can also bring Come on with some insomnia symptoms. The phenomenon of "not being able to sleep at night and not feeling energetic in the morning" is extremely common in Hong Kong. According to a study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, nearly 70% of Hong Kong people are deeply troubled by this problem. However, the word "insomnia" simply summarizes various sleep disorders. If you want to solve the problem of insomnia, you must first clarify which type of sleep disorder your current symptoms belong to, and then you can prescribe the right medicine.
Common sleep disorders in daily life can be roughly divided into the following three types:
1. Difficulty falling asleep
Although my body was very tired after a hard day's work, I still couldn't sleep in bed. People who rely on sleep aids such as sleeping pills and who spend more than an hour on average to fall asleep are actually among the patients with sleep disorders.
2. Poor sleep quality
Poor sleep quality can be manifested as light sleep and easy sleep interruption, and the two symptoms are easy to influence each other.
Because patients are in the first and second stages of non-rapid eye movement sleep (Non-REM stage) for a long time, they can only get shallow sleep, and are very susceptible to waking up from external interference. They sleep and wake up frequently, and cannot sleep peacefully. At the same time, it is difficult to enter deep sleep in the third and fourth stages of the sleep cycle, resulting in poor sleep quality and feeling weak even after sleeping all night.
**For people in deep sleep, the body's response to external stimuli will be minimized, and the heart rate and muscle tension will be further reduced, thereby achieving a deep sleep state.
3. Waking up too early
If you wake up before getting enough 6-8 hours of sleep every day and cannot easily fall back asleep, you may have a sleep disorder syndrome of excessive early awakening. Excessive early awakening can be divided into two conditions: short sleep cycle; failure to complete the entire sleep cycle. This type of patient not only does not sleep enough, nor can he fall asleep again, nor can he adjust his biological clock, so he often feels tired but cannot solve the problem. In the long run, insomnia can cause depression and other emotional problems.
So, what are the factors causing sleep disorders?
1. Psychological factors
Some people are born with mental problems such as anxiety and depression; later on, study and work have caused excessive psychological pressure on urban people. Severe mood swings such as excessive excitement, sadness and anger can cause sleep disorders.
2. Environmental factors
3. Physiological factors
