Did you know that insomnia is a type of sleep problem that affects up to 35% of individuals? It's easy to recognize because it's hard to fall asleep, stay asleep through the night, and wake up as late as possible in the morning. It can have major consequences, like making you sleepy during the day, making you more likely to get into a car accident, and hurting your health in many other ways.
1. 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 - Work, school, health, finances, or family concerns might keep your thoughts active at night, making it difficult to sleep. Insomnia can also be caused by stressful life events or trauma, such as the death or illness of a loved one, divorce, or job loss.
2. 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙚 - Circadian rhythms serve as an internal clock, directing your sleep-wake cycle, metabolism, and body temperature. Insomnia can be caused by disrupting your body's circadian rhythms. Jet lag from flying across many time zones, working a late or early shift, or often changing shifts are all possible causes.
3. 𝙋𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨 - Poor sleep habits include an irregular bedtime routine, naps, stimulating activities before bed, an uncomfortable sleep environment, and using your bed for work, eating, or watching TV. Computers, TVs, video games, smartphones, and other devices just before bed might disrupt your sleep pattern.
4. 𝙀𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚 - A modest snack before night is fine, but eating too much may induce physical discomfort while lying down. Many people also have heartburn, which is the backflow of acid and food from the stomach into the esophagus after eating and can keep you awake.
5. 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 - Anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder are common mental health illnesses that cause severe sleeping issues. These diseases can cause widespread negative thoughts and mental hyperarousal, which can disrupt sleep.
6. 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 - Many prescription medications, such as antidepressants and asthma or blood pressure medications, can disrupt sleep. Many over-the-counter drugs, including some pain relievers, allergy and cold medications, and weight-loss programs, contain stimulants that might interfere with sleep.
7. 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 - Almost any pain-causing disease can interrupt sleep and increases stress and sleeping problems. Frequent urination and hydration, as well as fast blood sugar fluctuations, might disrupt sleep as well. Type II diabetes-related health issues, can be another underlying cause as well as other medical conditions, such as those affecting the respiratory or nervous systems.
8. 𝙎𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥-𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 - Sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing at irregular intervals throughout the night, disrupting your sleep. Restless legs syndrome creates uncomfortable sensations in your legs as well as an almost irresistible need to move them, which can make it difficult to fall asleep.
9. 𝘾𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚, 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙝𝙤𝙡 - Drinking caffeinated beverages in the late afternoon or evening may keep you awake at night. Ni****ne, found in cigarette products, is another stimulant that can disrupt sleep. While alcohol can help you fall asleep, it also prevents deeper phases of sleep and frequently causes waking up in the middle of the night.
Acupuncture and nutrition can be your keys to better and more peaceful sleep.
