INSOMNIA HELP YOUTUBE HOW TO
Dr Magid Katz, How to improve your sleep behaviour Causes of insomnia You may think you got a full night’s sleep, but you wake up tired. They’re called mini-arousals and can be worsened by poor sleeping position. Many people wake up periodically during the night without even knowing it.
If you are distracted during the wakeful times (for example, a partner snoring, traffic noise, etc) then the wakeful times tend to last longer and you are more likely to remember them. Normally, you do not remember the times that you wake if they last less than two minutes. Sleeping tablets are not the best way to help with sleep problems because you can get addicted to them and they often stop working if you take them regularly. Therefore, the strict medical definition of insomnia is: 'Difficulty in getting to sleep, difficulty staying asleep, early wakening, or non-restorative sleep despite adequate time and opportunity to sleep, resulting in impaired daytime functioning, such as poor concentration, mood disturbance, and daytime tiredness.'įurther ways to promote sleep in more difficult cases include relaxation techniques, regular exercise and certain psychological therapies. What is important is that the amount of sleep that you get should be sufficient for you, and that you usually feel refreshed and not sleepy during the daytime. For most people it takes less than thirty minutes to fall asleep. However, as you become older, it is normal to sleep less.
Most people establish a pattern that is normal for them in their early adult life. Some people function well and are not tired during the day with just 3-4 hours' sleep a night. Different people need different amounts of sleep.
