I don’t know since when, a good night’s sleep has become a luxury for many people. The time to fall asleep is delayed again and again; when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can’t fall back to sleep again… Why is it getting harder and harder to fall asleep? In the live broadcast of the Beijing News “Talking” on March 21, Zhang Weihua, deputy chief physician of the Department of Psychiatry of Peking University Sixth Hospital, reminded that people should scientifically judge their sleep status, long-term sleep status is not good, and beware of mental problems.
“The brain is the control center of sleep, and the center of mental activity is also the brain, so sleep and mental activity are closely related. From a clinical point of view, insomnia has the highest correlation with various mental diseases ” Zhang Weihua introduced that in the recently promulgated International Classification of Diseases, sleep disorders are listed as a separate category, but its diagnosis and treatment process is inseparable from the support of psychiatry , because insomnia patients, especially Patients with long-term chronic insomnia will basically have emotional problems, which require psychiatric methods for diagnosis and treatment.
Good sleep will have a relatively stable pattern, with a relatively fixed sleep time (including falling asleep time and waking up time), and the time error is the most Fortunately, within 1 hour; feel relaxed after waking up, and the relaxed and lazy state lasts for about 10 minutes, and then you can return to the energetic state of daily work; keep your spirits and mind active during the day, and you may feel sleepy at noon, but if you do not In the nap condition, if you feel a little tired and continue to work, the drowsiness will disappear.
Life is not static. There are always times when you need to stay up late. Does going to bed late affect your sleep quality? Can sleep during the day make up for sleep? Zhang Weihua believes that occasionally going to bed late has little effect on sleep quality, and whether to make up for sleep during the day should be determined according to your own situation. It is recommended that after waking up during the day, when you cannot enter deep sleep again, you should not make up for sleep and start daytime activities directly. .
“Everyone’s sleep state is different, but in the following situations, you should seek medical help in time and seek professional help.” Zhang Weihua reminded.
Undesirable changes in sleep, such as not getting enough sleep time, waking up easily, difficulty falling asleep, having sleep apnea syndrome, and being drowsy but not having a good time when waking up feel.
There are obvious changes in thinking ability, emotional state, appetite, energy and physical strength after sleep.
