Reasons for poor sleep must be avoided

In today's society, poor sleep has become a problem that troubles more and more people. Many people are eager to solve the problem of insomnia. However, the prerequisite for solving the problem of insomnia is to know the causes of poor sleep. Why do people sleep poorly? Let us take a look at some of the reasons for poor sleep.

1. Environmental factors: Noise or light interferes with sleep, high temperature or severe cold affects sleep, and uncomfortable bedding such as too hard or too thick or too thin can affect sleep. Changing sleeping environments, such as being hospitalized or staying in a hotel, can also cause insomnia. Co-sleeping, especially one who snores loudly, is also one of the causes of insomnia.

2. Physiological factors: High-speed travel across several time zones and switching from day shift to night shift can also cause insomnia because the body's biological clock has not yet adapted to the new circadian rhythm.

3. Psychosocial factors: Stress and various life events can cause insomnia. Anxiety about your own or your loved ones' illness, fear of surgery, death of a loved one, worry about exams or accepting important work are all common causes of temporary insomnia.

4. Physical diseases: Various painful diseases, painful diseases such as heart and lung diseases, arthritis, advanced cancer, nocturia, gastrointestinal diseases, renal failure, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson's disease, etc. often cause insomnia.

5. Mental illness: Depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, etc. are often accompanied by insomnia symptoms. Mental illness is also one of the causes of insomnia.

6. Drugs: The most common drugs that cause insomnia are caffeine, theophylline, various stimulants, and alcohol. This type of insomnia is called rebound insomnia.

7. Sleep-related symptoms: such as nightmares and night terrors.

8. Primary insomnia: It is not a physical or mental illness. It usually occurs in people who are born worrywarts. They are prone to tension and anxiety. Their sleep quality is usually poor. When they encounter great pressure and increased mental workload, they will sleep even worse.

9. Insomnia caused by fear of insomnia: Some people have too high expectations for sleep, and believe that if they sleep well, they will be immune to all diseases, but if they sleep poorly, they will be prone to various physical problems. This excessive superstition about sleep increases the pressure of sleep and easily causes insomnia.
