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.
Transient insomnia is another name for short-term insomnia. Transient insomnia can be caused by environmental conditions like changes to our normal routine. Distractions around the time of sleep such as noise and bright lights in the bedroom qualify.
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.
Some people are more prone to sleeping difficulties than others, just as some people are more prone to experience headaches or stomach irritability. People of all ages can experience insomnia, but the elderly tend to experience it more often. Teenagers can begin to experience insomnia at the onset of puberty; internal clocks reset themselves to a bedtime of 2-3 hours later. Because of school the following morning, teenagers are not able to catch up on that lost sleep by sleeping in.
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.
People suffering from insomnia develop other conditions in the body. It is hard to lose sleep over a long period of time and be unaffected. Common signs of wear and tear include stress. The body fights back with weight gain or loss, gastrointestinal distress, high blood pressure, cardiac conditions, and immune problems.
You can't treat insomnia unless you know the signs and symptoms. Insomnia sufferers have a difficult time maintaining all aspects of their lives from work to home to school. The only way to get a decent night's rest is through treatment. - 15359
