Emotional insomnia

Introduction The so-called emotional insomnia is mainly caused by the fluctuation of emotions. With the increase of age, the elderly tend to breed pessimistic negative emotions. When you see or hear some bad things, it is easy to connect with yourself and provoke Memories of past events. Or when the body has some discomfort or some strange feeling, it is easy to guess whether it is a serious illness. These mood swings have a melancholy color, which makes the old man worried all day long, so that the mood can not be calm at night, it is difficult to sleep. Experts said that the main elderly people who came to the insomnia clinic in the past were the main ones. Now, the proportion of young and middle-aged people is gradually increasing. More than 90% of insomnia in young people is caused by emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. At present, most insomniacs have similar characteristics: sensitive, suspicious, hesitant, pursuing perfection, worrying about love, and anxiety.

Cause

Experts point out that most white-collar insomnia is caused by frequent overtime work. Busy work and tremendous pressure often make them need to stay up all night and even work overnight. Over time, the biological clock has been habitually changed, and it is difficult to sleep at night when you want to sleep, thus creating a nervousness about sleep. People with long-term insomnia may have difficulty in concentration, memory problems, and work-impaired symptoms, and the probability of accidents is 2 times higher than that of normal people. It is understood that more than 40% of insomniacs have drug dependence, and most rely on sedative drugs. But in fact, insomnia is caused by five major factors: psychology, disease, drugs, environment, and physical fitness. It is only counterproductive to rely on sedative drugs.
