Coping With Insomnia

Sep 10 2009

insomnia Every human being spends one-fourth till one-third of his life having a sleep. It means that if you are now twenty years of age, you spend at least five years having a sleep.

Having asleep is of cardinal importance for human beings. On having a sleep, body organs have a rest and broken body cells also undergo the so-called natural healing mechanism or betterment. Lactate acid (the cause of exhaustion) is also neutralized in time of sleeping therefore on getting up, body feels remarkably refreshed. Sufficient sleep can also stabilize emotion. Insufficient sleep will cause a decreasing level of motivation, concentration, accuracy, creativity and work productivity.

Almost every human being has ever had troubles of sleep. One of the three people is reported to have troubles of sleep and so is one of the nine people.

Insomnia is a continuous trouble of sleep (more than ten days). It falls into three kinds, namely sleep onset insomnia (difficulty in having a sleep), sleep maintenance insomnia (always having a night watch) and early awakening insomnia (always getting up earlier than expected). At least there are four factors leading to insomnia:

Physical hindrances
A few physical diseases can give rise to insomnia, for instance asthma, rheumatic, fever, maag, kidney disease and thyroid. Undoubtedly these diseases must be first overcome. For asthma sufferers, their sultry close must be cured, for rheumatic sufferers, their pains must be cured first and so forth.

Mental hindrances
Providing by means of a thorough investigation a doctor cannot discover certain physical disease, mental factors are properly considered to be the causes of insomnia.

The causes of insomnia can stem from problems of life. Thinking about a sweetheart who live in a distant place can also bring about insomnia. That is why the awareness of the persons in question to deal with their problems proportionally with full efforts and patience is of cardinal importance. This can be done independently or by way of psychologist’s assistance.

Advisably don’t consume sleeping pills without a doctor’s recommendation. The consumption is limited only to two-three days and can be repeated maximally up to three times.

Consumption of drugs and alcohol
Consumption of strong drinks and drugs intervene the functions of body organs and normal nerves.

Bothering environment
A certain environmental condition such as hissing sounds, too bright light, will intervene a sleeping concentration. You’d better set your bed room environment as comfortably as possible, peaceful and a bit dark.

Bad habits
Avoid the following bad habits:
• Avoid consuming coffee or caffeine food and drink from evening to sleeping time-approaching night. Caffeine can stimulate nerves so that you have difficulties having a sleep.
• Avoid any other on-bed activities unrelated to sleeping, for instance: eating or working. Use a bed only for sleep and sex. This is supposed to be able to make you at home with a habit that a bed is just to sleep.

In addition to dealing with the causes of insomnia above, you’d better try setting your sleeping pattern as stable as possible. Have a sleep and get up at the same time every day in spite of holidays. Stick to the schedule so that your sleeping pattern can be renormalized.

There is no harm in learning some relaxation techniques. You may try a ‘yoga’ or meditation. Some people even do certain things (sometimes quite illogical) to obtain this relaxed situation.
1. Having a bath with warm water
2. Counting goats
3. Sleeping to the north
4. Moving toes repeatedly
5. Caressing stomach
6. Taking a deep breath
7. Fancying something beautiful
8. Sex
9. Counting down
10. Listening to the radio until falling asleep

Please have a try and of course have a nice sleep.
