Self -help disorders, frequent wake -breaking disorders, early awakening
Sleep habits, psychological problems, and other diseases are ‘representative’
There is a word that sleep is a medicine. Sleep depends on mental health. While sleeping, our bodies solve physical fatigue and mental tension. Lack of sleep can lead to less immunity and become vulnerable to infection. There may be several complications such as cerebrovascular disease and cardiovascular disease. It also adversely affects metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
Kang Seung -gul, a professor of mental health medicine at Gachon University Gil Hospital, said, “Insomnia has no clear diagnostic criteria.” “You can diagnose with clinical symptoms such as’ hard to fall asleep for 30 minutes, wake up often and hard to sleep again, wake up early at dawn.
Professor Kang is a criteria for diagnosing and classifying the American Society of Psychiatry (difficult to sleep), sleep maintenance disorders (when they break or breaks at dawn), and early awakening (if they wake up faster than scheduled, and can’t sleep again), or sleep problems last three or more months or more than three months. It is explained that if it is accompanied by a decrease, it is divided into chronic insomnia.
Professor Kang said, “It is important for insomnia to detect the cause and properly treat it properly.” The cause is divided into three categories.
The first is a problem of sleep habits. Many of the insomnia patients are said to continue to try to sleep or sleep during the day. For these patients, it is helpful to suppress the effort to improve and sleep.
Second is stress, psychological and emotional matters. Professor Kang said, “As a cause of insomnia, it is also accompanied by mood disorders and anxiety disorders linked to other mental illnesses. If depression or anxiety symptoms are severe or psychological problems, drug treatment should also be performed.
The third is accompanied by other diseases. Liberation can be caused by anxiety syndrome, sleep apnea, frequency, pain caused by other diseases, and caffeine intake.
Professor Kang said, “We can think that there is a clock that controls sleep in our brain, but the clock that regulates awakening and sleep helps us sleep well when we do our daily lives,” he said. He also said, “Bright light such as drinking, smoking, and smartphone worsens insomnia.”
If you need medication, it is preferable to use the minimum, effective minimum capacity as much as possible. Professor Kang said, “If you do not eat suddenly, you may get worse if you don’t eat suddenly.”
