Uważa się, że nawet 35% ludzi na świecie może odczuwać symptomy bezsenności. Zszargane nerwy i stracone dni po źle przespanej lub całkiem „zarwanej” nocy to jednak wierzchołek góry lodowej, ponieważ brak odpowiedniego snu może być przyczyną groźnych chorób. Dowiedz się, do czego mogą prowadzić problemy ze snem i jak im zaradzić, by móc się w końcu wyspać.
Why do we need sleep?
Sleep plays a versatile role in the proper functioning of the body. Tissues regenerate after exercise during the day, hormone levels are replenished and blood pressure and metabolic processes are regulated. Sleep is also of great importance for the proper functioning of the human psyche. It is believed that during sleep the mind organizes memories and what we have learned – which is why students often go to bed after a day of study, convinced that they do not remember anything they have learned, and wake up the next day with a well-mastered material. Interestingly, some researchers have suggested that dreams are the product of this process.
What are sleep problems?
Contrary to popular belief, insomnia is not only a problem with falling asleep. Your sleep is abnormal if you have any of the following symptoms:
- period of time longer than 30 minutes between going to bed and falling asleep,
- budzenie się w nocy na łącznie dłużej niż 30 minut — bez względu na ilość takich przebudzeń,
- too short sleep, caused by waking up in the morning without being able to fall asleep again,
- niezdolność do wysypiania się — nieprawidłowy sen to także taki, który pomimo normalnych parametrów długości, czasu zasypiania itp. nie daje ci uczucia wypoczęcia następnego dnia.
To support the quality of sleep, it is worth providing the body with micronutrients that will help in this. The Allnutrition brand offers the Sleep Pro dietary supplement. The preparation contains melatonin, zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6, which facilitate falling asleep and improve the quality of sleep. You can buy Sleep Pro at medonetmarket.pl. Also try Harmonix 500 ml, a dietary supplement containing 10 herbal extracts and chokeberry juice. It helps fight insomnia, and also relieves stress and nervous tension, regulates the digestive system and improves the body’s immunity. The N ° 1 Deep SLEEP supplement and Lemon Balm Sleep Syrup also have a positive effect on the nervous system and supports sleep.
Why are sleep problems so common?
Some people have an inborn predisposition to insomnia despite normal overall health. Sleep problems in adolescents may be related to hormonal changes or general hypersensitivity of the nervous system. Sleep problems in children, especially very young ones, deserve a little more attention, as they can be a symptom of various diseases and developmental dysfunctions.
Nevertheless, it can be assumed that, in most cases, sleep problems are the result of poor lifestyle decisions. Modern man has plenty of opportunities to disrupt his biological clock. It is no exaggeration to say that insomnia is now a civilization disease. The most common causes of it are:
- using electronics late – the phone display, computer monitor or TV set emit pale blue light, which “deceives” the body that it is still daytime,
- jedzenie obfitych posiłków przed pójściem spać,
- consuming excessive amounts of coffee, nicotine and alcohol,
- Regardless of the cause, stress and sleep problems are an inseparable pair,
- spending time in bed for purposes other than sleeping or having sex – e.g. using a laptop, watching TV, eating
- naps during the day.
Sleep problems can also be a symptom of various types of mental disorders, such as neurosis or depression. Certain cardiovascular or endocrine disorders also lead to insomnia.
Dlaczego problemy ze snem są groźne?
Gdy jesteśmy niewyspani, nasz układ nerwowy gorzej funkcjonuje. Jesteśmy drażliwi, mniej precyzyjni i gorzej zapamiętujemy. Nie tylko utrudnia to funkcjonowanie, ale może prowadzić do wypadków w pracy czy podczas obsługi pojazdów, a w szerszej perspektywie problemy ze snem mogą powodować depresję i inne choroby psychiczne.
Insomnia has a negative effect on the cardiovascular system and reduces its efficiency. Due to the reduced metabolic rate and fatigue, we also need to eat more when we are sleepy, which makes it easier to gain weight.
Jak zaradzić problemom ze snem?
First of all, the circadian rhythm should be regulated and the above-mentioned factors should be eliminated. If this does not work, the following methods may help you fall asleep:
- aktywność fizyczna przed położeniem się spać,
- meditation, listening to relaxing music,
- herbal sedatives or drinking herbal infusions, such as Bright Mood Bio Yogi Tea, a mood-boosting tea that can be purchased at Medonet Market at a promotional price, or catnip herb in the form of dried tea for relaxing,
- taking melatonin – this substance is produced naturally by the body, and its deficiencies are the most common cause of insomnia; melatonin tablets can be purchased without a prescription for a few zlotys,
- zakup komfortowego materaca.
For sleep problems, we recommend Dobra Noc – Panaseus dietary supplement, which calms you down, helps you relax and helps you fall asleep.
Of course, these home remedies only apply to mild to moderate insomnia. More severe cases require consultation with a doctor who may prescribe sedative medications or even refer you to psychotherapy. It is rare for severe insomnia to occur on its own, and not as a symptom of major mental problems.
