失眠

Overview

失眠是一个普遍的问题——大约一半的美国成年人报告说在某个时候经历过失眠. 它对男性和女性都有影响,但女性和老年人通常受影响最大. 根据持续时间的长短,这种情况可以分为三类:

  • 短暂性失眠被定义为持续几个晚上
  • 间歇性失眠是周期性的失眠发作
  • 慢性失眠发生在大多数夜晚,并持续一个月或更长时间

尽管失眠不被认为是严重的医学问题, 睡眠不足会严重影响你的生活质量. 它会让你感到疲倦、沮丧和烦躁,还会影响你的注意力.

Although it differs for each person, 大多数成年人需要大约七到九个小时的睡眠才能感到完全休息好. 而且,尽管人们普遍认为,对睡眠的需求并不会随着年龄的增长而减少.

  • 压力

诊断。

如果你 think you are experiencing insomnia, 你的十大赌博平台排行榜会首先询问你的病史和睡眠史. Your doctor will ask you and your bed partner, if he or she is present, certain questions to determine your sleep habits. This may include questions about the following:

  • When you go to bed and wake up
  • The amount of caffeine and alcohol you drink
  • How long you've had insomnia
  • 你是否正在经历任何可能影响你睡眠的压力或焦虑
  • 如果你 打鼾
  • 任何可能影响你睡眠的医疗问题

如果你的十大赌博平台排行榜不清楚你失眠的原因, he or she may ask you to keep a sleep diary, in which you will record:

  • The time you go to bed
  • How long it takes you to fall asleep
  • How often you wake during the night

治疗

治疗失眠的第一步包括诊断和治疗任何可能导致失眠的潜在医学或心理问题. 治疗失眠的关键是确定导致失眠的原因,然后从你的生活中消除这些因素. 通常,一旦时差或压力等原因得到解决,失眠就会自行消失.

然而,在某些情况下,需要其他治疗. 除了找出失眠的原因,然后试图消除或减少它们, treatment may include the following.

Sleeping Pills

通常情况下, sleeping pills 是低剂量短时间用药吗. 不建议长期使用,应在十大赌博平台排行榜的密切监督下服用.

Behavioral Techniques

行为技巧可能有助于改善你的睡眠,包括放松疗法, sleep restriction therapy and reconditioning.

Relaxation Therapy

放松疗法可以用来减少或消除夜间压力, body tension and anxiety, and prevent your mind from racing, so you are able to fall asleep.

Sleep Restriction Therapy

你可能会发现,如果你无法入睡或在晚上醒来, 你在床上花了很多时间试图入睡. 如果是这样的话, 你可能会受益于睡眠限制计划,最初只允许晚上睡几个小时. 这个时间逐渐增加,直到达到正常的睡眠时间.

Reconditioning

重新调节的目的是调节你的身体,将床和就寝时间与睡眠联系起来. 对大多数人来说,这意味着只在床上睡觉和做爱. 建议人们只有在非常困的时候才去睡觉, wake and go to bed at the same time every day, and if they are unable to fall asleep, 下床离开卧室,直到再次感到困倦才回来. Napping is not recommended during this process.
