Insomnia Sleep Disorder - A Common Problem

Insomnia Sleep Disorder - A Common Problem
by Terje Brooks

experience with from time to time. However, the insomnia disorder is so severe that
it disrupts your life and causes constant fatigue, as well as anxiety about the fact that
you are not sleeping. The causes of insomnia can include drinking too much caffeine
or alcohol, stress and anxiety, or emotional issues. Sometimes, an underlying
medical condition is the cause. Not sleeping is not enough to be called a disorder but
the constant lack of sleep can affect your entire body including your immune system.

There are three types of insomnia and they are predisposition, precipitation, and
perpetual. Predisposition insomnia is related to genetic factors that a person has that
make him likely to have insomnia sleep disorder. Precipitation insomnia has to do
with specific situations a person is going through that are causing him to have trouble
sleeping. That could include a dramatic change in a person's schedule at his job or jet
lag from taking a long flight for vacation or for business.

Perpetual insomnia is related to types of behaviors that reinforce the insomnia and
cause people to sleep poorly and rely on drugs or alcohol to cope. Things like abusing
alcohol, smoking excessively, and other unhealthy behaviors can cause perpetual
insomnia and people often turn to sleeping pills to cope. That will only work for a little
while, though. It won't cure chronic insomnia sleep disorder.

The way insomnia is treated varies and involves psychological treatments and
medical treatments. The best thing someone with an insomnia sleep disorder can do
is try to develop healthy sleep habits including going to bed when he is tired, only
falling asleep in bed and other things that can be done to improve sleep. Other things
that help people with insomnia sleep disorder include going to bed and waking up at
the same time each day, staying away from caffeine and nicotine, avoiding alcohol,
working out regularly, and using relaxation techniques to calm themselves before
going to bed.
