Is insomnia a disease? Is it a common disease?

summary

With the aggravation of the pace of life, more and more people will have more or less insomnia symptoms, and the aging of insomnia symptoms is also getting smaller and smaller. Originally, only the elderly may have insomnia symptoms, but now more and more young people begin to have insomnia experience, but many people never pay attention to insomnia symptoms. Today, I'd like to share with you a simple way to treat insomnia.

Is insomnia a disease? Is it a common disease?

First: the classification of insomnia, intractable insomnia is a common disease, and compared with secondary insomnia, its treatment will be more difficult. Intractable insomnia is often caused by psychological factors, the main clinical manifestations are difficulty in falling asleep and maintaining sleep, daytime fatigue, the more you want to go to sleep as soon as possible at night, the more difficult it is to fall asleep, aggravating psychological conflicts, producing tension and anxiety, emotional instability, excessive worry, conscious pain, leading to insomnia, forming a vicious circle.

Second: many people think that insomnia is a stubborn disease, especially for intractable insomnia, people used to think that it is caused by "neurasthenia", but this method has also been generally denied. In fact, insomnia is not an isolated symptom, if it is stubborn, long-term insomnia, 80% may be caused by anxiety.

Third, some psychological studies have found that intractable insomnia is mainly caused by the hypersensitive emotional reaction, excessive anxiety and tension of the insomniacs to sleep, sleep quality, sound interference during sleep, early awakening and other phenomena. If we are troubled by long-term insomnia and do not sleep for two consecutive nights, we will have autonomic nerve dysfunction regulating blood vessels and nerves, and sympathetic nerve excitation will lead to his blood pressure rise; if we only sleep for 4 hours every night, the secretion of insulin will be reduced. If this situation continues for one week, it will be enough to make healthy people have precursor symptoms of diabetes.
