Most people know what insomnia is. It is difficult to fall asleep in the evening, and at night some invisible force wakes you up, sometimes several times. Then it is very difficult to fall asleep, and in the morning, waking up to the alarm clock ringing, you feel completely shattered.
During sleep, the body regenerates, it accumulates reserves to keep a person healthy. For example, in the phase of slow-wave sleep, the body produces hormones and substances for natural pain relief (endorphins), and in the phase of REM sleep, the brain processes the information it has received during the day, which helps adaptation under stress.
Healthy sleep contributes to the maintenance of absolutely all physiological functions of the body, and insomnia disrupts them. Its main symptom is difficulty falling asleep in the evening. A person spends hours turning from side to side, can not find a comfortable position. And as soon as he manages to doze off, the slightest noise wakes him up. Another common sign of sleep disorders – frequent night awakenings, after which you can not fall asleep for a long time. In those intervals when people do sleep, many have snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by short, several-second stops in breathing during sleep. As a result of apnea, the level of oxygen in the blood decreases, which leads to increased blood clotting, and this is the risk of heart attacks and strokes. In addition, snoring and apnea increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Australian scientists from the University of Queensland have conducted several studies (on laboratory mice and with the participation of more than 500 people aged 71-78 years) and found that the lack of oxygen due to breathing stops causes the same degeneration of neurons, which is characteristic of dementia. In addition, people who suffer from snoring and apnea have more Alzheimer’s disease marker proteins in their bodies, which means that their risk of getting the disease is increased. And among those already suffering from this type of senile dementia, according to the International Alzheimer’s Association, 20% of women and 30% of men have sleep apnea.
Thus, constant sleep disturbances inevitably lead to serious consequences. People who regularly suffer from insomnia complain of increased fatigue, daytime sleepiness, headaches, blood pressure spikes and are more prone to the emergence of serious diseases.
When the neighbors suddenly start playing loud music in the middle of the night, any person’s sleep instantly goes somewhere. But such external causes of insomnia – just one of the many factors that cause this condition. Emotional stress often leads to insomnia: in periods of nervous and physical stress, we find it difficult to relax in the evening, and without this calm and deep sleep is impossible.
The causes of insomnia also include cardiovascular diseases, pain syndrome, consequences of injuries, taking certain medications (for hypertension, arrhythmia, asthma, etc.), hormonal changes in the body in women, as well as in adolescents and people of age, especially in women during menopause. Insomnia equally often affects both men and women, including during pregnancy.
To get rid of insomnia, it is better to eliminate the factor that causes it. Sometimes it is enough not to eat too much at dinner, do not drink strong tea, well ventilate the bedroom, take a walk before going to bed, take a warm shower, lie down and get up at the same time and at the same time on weekdays and weekends. It is also important not to watch TV at night and “disconnect” from the day’s problems, anxious thoughts. Good methods of treating insomnia and restoring mental balance are quiet activities that cause drowsiness: reading, knitting, solving crossword puzzles.
