Is someone in your home having difficulty getting a good night's sleep? Are they up and about all night? Is crankiness or irritability present at the breakfast table? It's possible a family member is experiencing insomnia.
There is more than one type of insomnia that could be affecting someone in your home.
Relieving insomnia can be as simple as changing some of your daily habits. Transient insomnia is often caused by environmental factors like noises, lights, stress, and other things that we can control.
A more involved type of insomnia would be chronic insomnia. Another name for it is long term insomnia. The causes for this vary but sufferers haven't had a good night's sleep for months. People who suffer from conditions outside of their environment like sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome experience this type of insomnia. Only through treatment will the sleep problems resolve.
Older people have more trouble with insomnia than some other age groups. Along the same lines, teenagers experience insomnia too. With the onset of puberty and an internal clock that sends them to bed several hours after everyone else, teenagers lack the right amount of sleep. During the school week, there is no way to catch up on the sleep they missed the night before. Anyone can develop insomnia but certain groups are more prone to it.
What are the symptoms of insomnia? If you are an insomniac, you may experience waking several times at night, waking up earlier than usual in the morning, and lying in bed for hours unable to fall asleep or if you fall asleep, to stay asleep.
Over time, insomnia affects the body and the mind. Not sleeping at night and trying to function during the day has its consequences. Insomniacs can suffer from GI problems, reduced immunity, heart-related issues, high blood pressure, and changes in their weight.
There are treatments available for insomnia. Not getting help can interfere with your life and responsibilities on a daily basis like your family life, work, and/or school. Recognize the symptoms of insomnia in your home. To achieve the best sleep possible, seek treatment. - 15252
