Experts point out that the physiological and psychological challenges of the middle-aged and the elderly are faced with health challenges, and it is easy to produce sleep problems such as chronic insomnia, which not only leads to depression, depression, life and work, but also causes various diseases. Therefore, adjusting the living condition and ensuring good sleep is an important guarantee for the middle-aged and elderly people to have a healthy body.
the life rhythm is fast, the pressure of competition is big, the interpersonal relationship is complex, the physiological and psychological problems that the modern people produce thus lead to the sleep problems such as insomnia. According to WHO statistics, in China, more than 30% of people have sleep problems. "I can't sleep at night, I can't sleep well and I'm dizzy in the daytime." A reporter recently learned from the outpatient department of Neurology of the two Affiliated Hospital of Anyang Medical University that about 1/5 of the patients come to see a doctor every day because of sleep problems.
Gao Zongliang, director of the Department of Neurology in the two Affiliated Hospital of an Medical University, pointed out that in middle-aged people, because of the lack of biological hormones, the body's sleep hormones (such as pineal) secreted and metabolize more and more, with high mental pressure and excitement before bedtime, it is easy to get sleep disorders. If you do not reach the necessary rest time, you will affect your daily work, study and life. Therefore, to develop good working habits and create suitable rest environment is very important for improving sleep quality.
experts say that sleep is a process of active rest and recovery, and the rest of the day varies from person to person. Someone needs to ensure 7 to 9 hours of sleep every day, and some people need only 2, 3 hours a day. Therefore, as long as it does not affect normal life, it is not necessary to simply take medicine. Some people think that sleeping pills can not be eaten. In fact, as long as they do not eat for a long time or regularly replace different types of drugs, the body will not produce drug dependence.
for middle-aged and elderly people, you should try not to think about many things before going to bed, avoid drinking tea, drinking coffee or watching TV for a long time. At the same time, we should pay attention to sleeping on time every day, rest in a quiet and comfortable environment, keep more comfortable mood, and do physical activities every day.
if the rest of the life is normal, some middle-aged and elderly people still have a long sleep problem and affect life. We can properly use some sleep inducers with small side effects and take different drugs according to the difficulty of falling asleep, early awakening, and sleep rhythm disorder. Some people are taking different drugs according to the special medical advice; some people are lost because of the disease. Sleep, such as snoring, anxiety, depression, heart disease, etc., should see the corresponding specialist, treatment of disease.
