The first step of treatment is to correct the behavior related to bad sleep hygiene habits, which has been mentioned in the above suggestions. Correcting behavior is not an easy task, because bad habits are always more and more stubborn, and some environmental factors cannot be changed (for example, the neighbor's TV is loud and affects your sleep, but you can't change the structure of the house to stop the noise! ), but you can do everything possible to change the environment.
Sometimes doing the first step can improve sleep, but there are many situations that don't work. If you discuss your sleep with your doctor, he may suggest a method that is especially suitable for you. Listening to your sister's or neighbor's advice may not be helpful, because everyone's insomnia is different. Insomnia caused by depression and insomnia caused by generalized anxiety are completely different in treatment. Of course, if you don't have these conditions for insomnia, you should treat it in different ways!
Hypnotherapy, commonly known as sleeping pills, is the most commonly used drug to treat insomnia. There are all kinds of sleeping pills on the market, so you must take them according to your doctor's advice. Because taking medicine according to the doctor's advice is generally safer and more effective, and the risk of dependence is less. If necessary, new medication methods can be adopted. So please follow the doctor's advice.
In short, some patients may need to use other drugs for treatment, one of which is a relaxing drug, which is very useful, especially for patients with generalized anxiety disorder. Other methods, including psychotherapy and behavior correction, need expert guidance, and general doctors can also provide some guidance.
In the psychological clinic, visitors who are troubled by insomnia are often received. Most of them have the same characteristics: sensitive personality, suspicious, lack of self-confidence, stubbornness, indecision, perfectionism and anxiety. I always worry about headaches, inattention and memory loss caused by occasional insomnia. They go to work listlessly every day, complaining, "Alas! Didn't sleep well last night! I can't work today! " At night, they always try their best to make themselves
"Don't think about anything today, have a good sleep!" However, contrary to expectations, the more you want to sleep well, the more you can't sleep, forming a vicious circle. Some of them tried many methods, such as taking medicine, practicing qigong, listening to music, or trying to control their own thoughts, but the results didn't work. The methods taught by psychologists were quite different from those they used before.
First of all, don't regard sleep as very important in values. Sleep is the best way to rest the brain and body, but physical labor and exercise are another best way to relax. If you didn't sleep well the night before, you can take a hot bath in the morning and go out for exercise, just as energetic. Insomnia patients often think that sleep is the most important thing in life, and all they think about is how to sleep well. He doesn't understand that sleep is to ensure health, health is to work, and work is not to sleep, which means that sleep is not the goal of life. In addition, people only need 2-4 hours of deep sleep every day, and others sleep in their dreams. If people really stay up late, they will have a nervous breakdown for 3 days and die for 5 days. However, some people say that they haven't slept much for many years, but their thinking is still normal, so their insomnia problem is not as serious as expected, and people should believe in their vitality.
Secondly, sleep is also a natural reaction of the human body. If you are sleepy, you want to sleep. Don't be artificially controlled. The more you stop thinking, the more paranoid you will become. You should adopt a natural attitude: I want to go, I'm not going to sleep today! As a result, when you can't control your emotions and thoughts, you will naturally fall asleep after 20 minutes. So are fears and anxieties. Some people are particularly afraid of not being able to sleep, and some people are always afraid of waking up in the middle of the night and finding it difficult to sleep. The more afraid they are, the more awake they are, and the more nervous they are about themselves, resulting in a vicious circle. Normal people will wake up in the middle of the night for various reasons. The difference is that normal people have no thoughts of fear and exclusion, do not reflect and hate themselves, and fully accept their natural state, thus relaxing.
Thirdly, many insomniacs always feel that they don't get enough sleep at night, so they should make up for it whenever they have time. The more they sleep during the day, the more they can't sleep at night, and they are not in the mood to participate in hobbies. The correct way is to take part in outdoor sports activities to relax yourself, especially before going to bed, and don't let your brain be in a state of excited thinking. We should do some simple and boring physical activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, skipping rope, washing clothes and mopping the floor. Feel tired, go to bed when you are sleepy, and then go to sleep with a natural relaxation state.
