We should pay attention to the importance of sleep quality and sleeping habits to health, actively go to the hospital for treatment, diagnose insomnia early, and find out the causes of insomnia. If insomnia is caused by physical factors, the primary disease should be treated actively.

1. Psychotherapy is a key step

(1) General psychotherapy. Through explanation and guidance, patients can understand the basic knowledge about sleep and reduce unnecessary anticipatory anxiety reactions.

(2) Behavioral therapy cannot be ignored. Conduct relaxation training and teach patients to do it before going to bed to speed up falling asleep and reduce anxiety.

2. Drug therapy is the best way to assist treatment

(1) Use of benzodiazepines.

(2) Take antidepressants appropriately. Such as mianserin, amitriptyline, doxepin, maprotiline and other drugs.

3. Other treatments

(1) Biofeedback. You can strengthen your self-relaxation training, which is effective in reducing anxiety.

(2) Actively participate in physical exercise. Appropriate physical exercise can enhance physical fitness, reduce physical fatigue, and is beneficial to sleep, but the amount of exercise should not be too much, as excessive fatigue will affect sleep.

(3) Actively adjust your lifestyle habits, such as canceling or reducing naps and developing a habit of sleeping on time.
