Digital Story #6
I.
Introduction:
For many years people have suffered from a condition called insomnia. Now
in basic terms insomnia is a sleeping disorder that does not allow a person to
have a good night sleep. However a more scientific definition would be: ‘Habitual
sleeplessness; inability to sleep.’ In this presentation I am going
to be stating a more elaborate, detailed definition of insomnia as well as
discussing some causes and the effect they have on a person who has been diagnosed
with insomnia. I am also going to be discussing what the symptoms of insomnia
are and how to diagnose insomnia. Moving forward I will be providing some
treatment plans and some tips as how to overcome insomnia.
II.
Description:
There
are two types of insomnia, primary and secondary insomnia:
·
Primary
insomnia: Primary insomnia means that a person is having sleep problems
that are not directly associated with any other health condition or problem.
·
Secondary
insomnia: Secondary insomnia means that a person is having sleep
problems because of something else, such as a health condition (like asthma, depression,
arthritis, cancer, or heartburn) pain; medication they are taking; or a
substance they are using (like alcohol).
Insomnia also varies in how long
it lasts and how often it occurs. It can be short-term (acute insomnia) or can
last a long time (chronic insomnia). It can also come and go, with periods of
time when a person has no sleep problems. Acute insomnia can last from one
night to a few weeks. Insomnia is called chronic when a person has insomnia at
least three nights a week for a month or longer.
Causes of Insomnia:
Causes of acute
insomnia can include:
·
Significant life stress (job loss or change, death of a
loved one, divorce, moving)· Illness
· Emotional or physical discomfort
· Environmental factors like noise, light, or extreme temperatures (hot or cold) that interfere with sleep
· Some medications (for example those used to treat colds allergies, depression, high blood depression, asthma) may interfere with sleep
· Interferences in normal sleep schedule (jet lag or switching from a day to night shift, for example)
Causes of chronic
insomnia include:
·
Depression and/or anxiety.· Chronic stress.
· Pain or discomfort at night
Diagnosing Insomnia:
·
If you think you have insomnia, talk to your health care provider.
An evaluation may include a physical exam, a medical history, and a sleep
history. You may be asked to keep a sleep diary for a week or two, keeping
track of your sleep patterns and how you feel during the day. Your health care provider
may want to interview your bed partner about the quantity and quality of your
sleep. In some cases, you may be referred to a sleep center for special tests.
III.
Disadvantages:
Symptoms of Insomnia:
Symptoms of
insomnia can include:
·
Sleepiness during the day· General tiredness
· Irritability
· Problems with concentration or memory
IV.
Solutions
Treatment for Insomnia:
·
Acute insomnia may not require treatment. Mild insomnia
often can be prevented or cured by practicing good sleep habits (see below). If
your insomnia makes it hard for you to function during the day because you are
sleepy and tired, your health care provider may prescribe sleeping pills for a
limited time. Rapid onset, short-acting drugs can help you avoid effects such
as drowsiness the following day. Avoid using over-the-counter sleeping pills
for insomnia, because they may have undesired side effects and tend to lose
their effectiveness over time.
Treatment for chronic insomnia
includes first treating any underlying conditions or health problems that are
causing the insomnia. If insomnia continues, your health care provider may
suggest behavioral therapy. Behavioral approaches help you to change behaviors
that may worsen insomnia and to learn new behaviors to promote sleep.
Techniques such as relaxation exercises sleep restriction therapy, and
reconditioning may be useful.
Good Sleep Habits for Beating Insomnia:
Good sleep
habits, also called sleep hygiene, can help you get a good night's sleep and
beat insomnia. Here are some tips:
·
Try to go to sleep at the same time each night and get up
at the same time each morning. Try not to take naps during the day, because
naps may make you less sleepy at night.· Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late in the day. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and can keep you from falling asleep. Alcohol can cause waking in the night and interferes with sleep quality.
· Get regular exercise. Try not to exercise close to bedtime, because it may stimulate you and make it hard to fall asleep. Experts suggest not exercising for at least three to four hours before the time you go to sleep.
· Don't eat a heavy meal late in the day. A light snack before bedtime, however, may help you sleep.
· Make your bedroom comfortable. Be sure that it is dark, quiet, and not too warm or too cold. If light is a problem, try a sleeping mask. If noise is a problem, try earplugs, a fan, or a "white noise" machine to cover up the sounds.
· Follow a routine to help you relax before sleep. Read a book, listen to music, or take a bath.
· Avoid using your bed for anything other than sleep.
· If you can't fall asleep and don't feel drowsy, get up and read or do something that is not overly stimulating until you feel sleepy.
· If you find yourself lying awake worrying about things, try making a to-do list before you go to bed. This may help you to not focus on those worries overnight.
V.
Personal element:
I have
suffered from insomnia in the past especially when it comes to jet lag. I would
consider my insomnia as acute since it only affected me over two weeks. I could
not sleep at night and would sleep all through the day. I would very be tired
when I woke up and very annoyed by my surroundings when I was awake. It was a
hard two weeks getting back into the cycle of sleeping through the night and
staying awake through the day. I can only imagine how people who are diagnosed
with chronic insomnia feel on a week to week basis.
VI.
Conclusion:
To conclude
I would like to recap the definition of insomnia. Insomnia is a sleeping
disorder that cause habitual sleeplessness; inability
to sleep. If your are suffering from insomnia or might think that you do please
consult a doctor today in order to treat your insomnia to contain your
suffering.
