Feeling very sleepy but can't fall asleep

Many people often feel very sleepy in life, but they can never fall asleep. This symptom has troubled many people for a long time and has not been effectively treated. Even after taking sleeping pills, they find that they have no effect. Feeling very sleepy and unable to fall asleep is due to neurological disorders, which lead to sleep dysfunction. We need to use some methods to slowly adjust and repair it.

The elderly are prone to insomnia due to various reasons. Insomnia is a very painful and dangerous disease for the elderly. The elderly suffering from insomnia will experience problems such as loss of appetite, frequent dreams, and lack of concentration. Severe insomnia can also pose a threat to the life safety of the elderly. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to sleep care and stay away from insomnia. The following are specific adjustment methods for everyone.

How to treat insomnia in the elderly? The treatment methods for insomnia in the elderly include the following:

1. The treatment methods for insomnia in the elderly include sleep induction and listening to plain and rhythmic sounds. This is also a treatment method for insomnia. For example, tapes of the sounds of running trains, crickets chirping, dripping water, and spring rain, or music hypnosis tapes, can help sleep and establish conditioned reflexes to induce sleep.

2. If you are tired and have difficulty falling asleep, you may want to eat fruits such as apples, bananas, tangerines, oranges, and pears to treat insomnia in the elderly. Because the aroma of these fruits has a calming effect on the nervous system; the sugar in the fruits can inhibit the cerebral cortex and make it easier to fall asleep, which is also a treatment for insomnia.

3. Find and eliminate the causes of insomnia. This is an important method of treating insomnia in the elderly. There are many factors that cause insomnia, as mentioned before. As long as you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find them. If the cause is eliminated, insomnia will heal itself. If insomnia symptoms are caused by illness, seek medical attention promptly. Don't think that insomnia is just a minor problem and not a disease and delay treatment.

4. In addition, the treatment method for insomnia in the elderly includes drinking a cup of hot milk with sugar before going to bed. Studies have shown that it can increase the body's insulin secretion, increase the entry of amino acids into brain cells, and prompt the human brain to secrete sleep-inducing serotonin. At the same time, milk contains trace amounts of morphine-like substances, which has a calming and tranquilizing effect, thereby prompting the body to fall asleep peacefully.
