Sleep disorder is not such a rare problem as it may seem. Studies show that 70% of people observe various disorders, but almost no one applies for qualified care even when it is really needed.
Sleep disorder - symptoms
You can diagnose problems of this nature yourself if you go to this list:
- regular nightmares (by the way, night terrors - a sleep disorder very common);
- episodes of sudden abrupt weakness in the muscles of the body in the explosion of emotions (joy, irritation, anger, etc.);
- Snoring, especially in combination with hypertension and other diseases;
- awakening early in the morning and the inability to fall asleep afterwards;
- short-term stopping of breathing during sleep;
- problems with falling asleep when changing time zones;
- long-term use of drugs sleeping pills;
- increased drowsiness throughout the day;
- falling asleep more than 30 minutes;
- the habit of waking up at night;
- unusual behavior during sleep (sleepwalking, gnashing of teeth, eating in a dream, etc.).
Most of these symptoms are sleep disorders of an inorganic nature. If you notice one or more symptoms in your body, this is an occasion to think about going to a specialist, because sleep disorder can be treated.
Causes of sleep disorder
There are different types of problems of such a plan. For example, if it is a neurotic sleep disorder, the problem may be a person's experiences, nervous work or problems that are too disturbing. Sometimes a person's problem lies in the inability to relax, in the absence of an appropriate environment.
Sleep disorder - treatment
Not every disorder is treated with medication or therapy - sometimes a person can help themselves. For example, take simple steps:
- The bedroom in your house should only be used for sleeping or sex. Do not read in bed, do not watch movies - there are other rooms for this.
- If you can not fall asleep for about 10-20 minutes, get up, go out to another room and read.
- Do not eat 2-3 hours before bedtime and certainly do not drink a lot of fluids before going to bed.
- Use sleep accessories: a blindfold and earplugs, if necessary.
- Try to stay up and get up at the same time all the time.
Such simple measures will help you get rid of problems. However, if this does not help - you need to contact a specialist and solve this problem in other ways.
