To alleviate sleep disorders, don't pursue health products and avoid sleeping pills
2022-04-07
According to the 2022 white paper on Chinese national healthy sleep released by the China sleep research association and other institutions, 44% of China's young people aged 19 to 25 stay up after midnight, and the young adults aged 19 to 35 are the age group with high incidence of sleep problems. There is an obvious younger trend of "extremely poor" students. He Guohua, deputy director of the Department of Neurology of Changsha Central Hospital, told reporters that in recent years, the majority of people with sleep disorders treated in the hospital are young people, including a large proportion of students. Many students are under pressure and lack of sleep for a long time. Novel coronavirus pneumonia, Zhou Xuhui, director of psychiatric department of Hunan Second People's Hospital, introduced some new teenagers who had been online at home, and had irregular schedules. Some students were also watching mobile phone at night. Li Xuejun, a professor of Neurosurgery at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, analyzed that the excessive use of electronic devices exacerbated the occurrence of sleep disorders in adolescents. Exposure to low-intensity light from mobile phones and tablets at night reduced melatonin synthesis, disrupted circadian rhythm and reduced sleep quality. "Insomnia is a symptom of abnormal sleep. It may be a signal of abnormal physiological function and biological rhythm of human body. Insomnia is mainly caused by loss of support and disturbance of mind and spirit. Many people have insomnia caused by 'heart disease'." Ma Yongchun, director of psychosomatic Department of Zhejiang provincial Tongde hospital, introduced. With the younger trend of sleep disorders, "post-90s" and "post-00s" have gradually paid attention to this problem and sought "self salvation" through various ways, and melatonin, which is quietly popular in the health care product market, has become their first choice. Chen Zhengxin, deputy director of the medical office of Zhejiang mental health center, introduced that melatonin is also dependent and is not recommended for long-term use. It will have a certain effect on the decline of melatonin secretion in the middle-aged and elderly. Most teenagers do not have the problem of decline of secretion, so the effect is not too great. "Pursuing health products and melatonin, but taboo sleeping pills is a common phenomenon." Chen Zhengxin added that many people are still resistant to sleeping pills, feel that they have strong toxic and side effects and strong dependence, and feel ashamed to take sleeping pills because they don't want their family and friends to know. "But in fact, this is a misunderstanding. Sleeping pills are not terrible. It is the fastest and most effective way to solve the problem of insomnia. As long as you take them according to the doctor's advice, you don't have to worry about dependence, but avoid taking alcohol during the medication, which may be life-threatening in serious cases." Chen Zhengxin said. Zeng Xianxiang, director of the Department of sleep disorders and neurosis of Hunan second people's Hospital, pointed out that it doesn't matter if you have occasional insomnia, which happens to most people. The key is not to turn occasional insomnia into chronic insomnia. If you have insomnia for a week or more than three days a week in a month, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. He Guohua suggested that teenagers should give up the habit of playing mobile phones before going to bed and take part in more outdoor sports; People with sleep disorders should actively adjust their work and rest rules. If severe insomnia can not be improved in a short time, which will affect their work and life, they can take appropriate sleeping pills under the guidance of doctors to improve their sleep. For people with sleep disorders, Zeng Xianxiang reminded them to reasonably arrange working hours and workload, improve work efficiency, alleviate family relations, parent-child relations and anxiety before going to bed. The core is to go to bed and get up regularly. Don't do anything irrelevant to sleep in bed. You can try relaxation therapy. After going to bed at night, you can slow down and deepen your breathing, relax your muscles and enter a state of physical and mental relaxation. In addition, experts said that sleeping well and not sleeping well, sleeping more and sleeping less are more people's subjective feelings. For example, some people's "second sleep" and "fast sleep" are actually signs of disease. Zhou Dinggang, deputy chief physician of Otolaryngology Head and neck surgery of Changsha Central Hospital, said that many people with sleep apnea syndrome seem to sleep well. They "sleep for seconds" when lying in bed and snore when sleeping. Many people think this is "sleep soundly", which is just the opposite. (outlook new era)
