I have a colleague, he is 32 years old, he is still very young, but he has a thing that makes him very troubled, that is, insomnia, he will suddenly wake up every morning, and then can no longer sleep, until dawn, listless to go to work.

Frequent insomnia, so he could not concentrate on work, resulting in his work efficiency being very low, and he has belonged to a long-term lack of sleep so that his body also began to become bad, every day you will see him with a pair of large dark circles to work, the face is also very pale, the eyes also no luster, he felt very troubled and especially helpless, he did not know what is wrong with him.

Sometimes we wake up suddenly when we are sleeping, but when we look at the watch it is only early in the morning, and then we get more and more anxious, wondering if something is wrong with us and how it can cause a sudden awakening. We may wake up many times in one sleep, and there are scientific studies that show that although metanephrine may not seem to be related to sleep, it is likely to cause waking you up all the time every night. But don't worry, you can still get a good night's sleep quickly if you fall asleep right away.

But in life, some people will wake up in the early hours of the morning and cause an inability to sleep, what is the reason for this?

There are many times when the inability to sleep may be caused by external conditions, such as some recent changes in the weather, a recent diet that is more heavy mouth greasy spicy, or a recent poor mood and other factors, these factors may affect the sleep.

Sometimes the inability to sleep may also have a relationship with age, as people grow older, the metabolic rate will also slow down, and some of the hormone levels affecting sleep will also change, so with the growth of age, there will be unable to sleep in this situation.

The inability to sleep may also be related to diseases such as restless legs syndrome, which is more common in women and is extremely easy to misdiagnose as insomnia.

This disease is very painful when it strikes, with intense discomfort in the elbow joints and calves, which is a different concept from painful discomfort and can make it difficult to sleep if the attack is severe.

There is another disease that we need to be alert to, and that is - depression. We need to be alert to the appearance of depression because some insomnia patients are partly suffering from depression which leads to insomnia. Many of these patients have a very introverted personality, low psychological quality, low tolerance, prone to depression, and negative state, some will produce insomnia, reduced sleep, dizziness, and other symptoms, if self-regulation still can not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

In this stressful society, in this busy life, if you can have a high quality sleep that will be a very good thing, and there are some people who can not sleep, then I am here to give four suggestions!

1. Do not eat too much at night.

Especially some digestive function and gastrointestinal function is not good for people, if the evening diet habits to eat some greasy, heavy, high-calorie food, and eat a lot of words, it will be a burden on the gastrointestinal and digestive system, and affect sleep.

2. Do not drink caffeine-containing drinks at night.

Many people like to drink coffee, some people used to drink coffee at night, and coffee contains caffeine, caffeine has a refreshing effect, so some of them will lead to sleeplessness, unable to sleep, and mental hyperactivity.

3. Put down the phone and close the quiet.

Some people often used to play a while before going to bed at night cell phones, moderate entertainment can relax the pressure, if fetish then it will cause some trouble, always playing cell phones will make us more and more excited, thus losing sleep, and the cell phone screen will emit blue light will stimulate the eyes, will prevent melatonin secretion, so it will affect sleep.

4. Do not drink too much alcohol at night.

Moderate drinking can maintain good sleep, if excessive drinking will affect our sleep, alcohol can indeed make people sleepy, but if excessive drinking, will disrupt our normal sleep period, so timely body is resting, the next day's mental state will be bad, will lead to inattention, and excessive drinking will make us often get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, affecting sleep.
