Information is a powerful tool. When it comes to health issues it is always good to have the information about your condition to determine the best course of treatment or cure with the help of your primary care physician. As with all illnesses it is also mandatory for people with sleep disorders. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized by features like not being able to fall asleep, having trouble maintaining a good sleep, feeling sleepy or unrepressed in the morning. The symptoms are common to most sleep disorders and while these are the features they may vary in degree and thus have further been categorized into severity levels. Insomnia is typically known to be of three types: transient insomnia: which is a temporary state of sleeplessness that can last anywhere from one night to a week and is usually caused due to an outside factor like stress or anxiety or any high-pitched emotion. Short term insomnia is a sleeplessness that persists for a few weeks and passes away after a while this can be due to some ongoing external factor or due to poor sleep habits or maybe due to some current illness like an infection or fever etc.
Chronic insomnia is one that persists for prolonged periods of time often more than 3 months and is a cause for worry and is the one that needs medical attention. Chronic insomnia can be caused due to an underlying chronic illness or due to some major trauma. This type of insomnia can leave the person feeling sleepy throughout the day; make the person lack concentration, irritability, experience mood fluctuations and depression. Lots of people suffer from insomnia but the elderly or people with illnesses are more susceptible be it due to their age or the medication that they are under. Causes for insomnia can be anything from general stress to other disorders like sleep apnea or RLS etc. Stress depression and anxiety are not only precursors to this problem but they can be exacerbated by this condition. Practicing good sleep hygiene is a proven method of dealing with this condition.
There are a few tips that one has to follow when trying to deal with sleep disorders and they are the thumb rules to instill for a better nights sleep. Having a good sleep routine, like a warm soothing bath, warm cup of milk, light meal before bedtime, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, sodas, smoking and heavy exercise, saying no to alcohol, having a good bedroom ambience, taking care to see what you are having for dinner and not laden it with sweet fatty and often hard to digest foods or spicy food that could irritate the stomach and cause sleep disruption. Having a small yoga or relaxation routine that can ease you and release the stress of the day, not bring in the office or day to day stress into the bedroom and maintaining a regular bedtime can help tackle the insomnia and provide relief and good nights sleep.
