1- Insomnia or sleepiness
is a sleep disorder in which there is an inability to fall asleep or sleep for
a long period of time, also it occur at any age, but is common that young
adults may have insomnia. You can have insomnia in a short term of period (one
week) or a large period (3 to 4 weeks), which can lead to depression and memory
problems. Insomnia is classified into two classes; the first one isn’t a
sleeping problem related to physiological or medical problems, you have to treat these with massages and the most common imno-therapy.
2-Insomnia is a psychological sickness
that is caused from little problems to big problems commonly related with
family and drugs of all time. Some cases of this sickness are:
- Stress:
family problems, a financial problem or a big deadline at work (this are only
examples, there
Could be more cases).
- Being
overweight.
-
Depression, anxiety or other mental health problems.
- Medical
problems such as sleep apnea or hyperthyroidism (again, only examples).
- Restless
leg syndrome (muscles in your lower legs twitch or tense up during sleep).
- Use of
caffeine or other stimulants.
- Use of
alcohol, other depressants, or sedatives, which can relax you but lead you to
shallow sleep that starts and stops especially if you use these drugs for
a long time.
4-The first thing that you have to do before to take a treatment is see you daily habits, commonly something in your daily habit is making your insomnia worse (like caffeine, a drug or smoking). The treatments are:
a. A sleep diary to identify insomnia causes, here you have to change your habits and write your progress in a diary to see what is making your problem worse and change it. (This treatment finishes when you find the problem and stop it).
b. Adopting new habits at the time to sleep, try to change the way that you sleep: turn of the lights, sleep in another position, don't drink coffee after sleep, don't take naps during the day, etc. (like 1 week)
c. Avoid the artificial light, the artificial light is not the same as the natural light, natural light produce a vitamin (melatonin) that helps you to know when is time to sleep and when not, artificial light can suppress the production of this vitamin and be harder to sleep. (Like 1 week, depends on the person).
5- It depends on in the
patient, but the most part of patients recover their normal habits of sleeping,
because they have a lot of stress and psychological upheavals that perturb the
patient, so with the liberation of that stress or psychological stress the
patient will be at his normal or new sleep time.
So I recommend using these
treatments because it will probably work for you, because the numbers doesn't
lie.
6- It can take remedies but they will not have efect, beacause you have to make some terapies.
7- it goes from 950 dollars to 27500 dollars.
8. If you suffer from insomnia in chile is a big problem because the hospitals will not help you with this problems in a alternative, so probably you will have to go to a specialist somewhere (it will be really difficult to found a specialist for this).
In the case of USA it will be easier, not because the hospitals will help you, is because commonly in USA you can found everything that you want (in this case a insomnia specialist).
