🔥🔥🔥 Signs of insomnia should not be ignored
-------------------
✨ Insomnia is a type of sleep disorder with many different forms such as difficulty falling asleep, not being able to sleep deeply, often waking up early despite not getting enough sleep, and not being able to return to normal sleep.
💥 Insomnia can stem from many different causes. When insomnia lasts, the patient's health and life will be seriously affected. Common symptoms of insomnia may include:
1️⃣ Difficulty falling asleep - Common signs of insomnia
Not feeling sleepy, having difficulty falling asleep, lying in bed but not being able to sleep even though it's time to sleep... are easily recognizable signs of insomnia. This condition can occur due to bad habits of the body before sleeping such as eating too much, using electronic devices before sleeping,... or due to diseases.
2️⃣ Short sleep time
Depending on age, each person has different sleep times. On average, each adult needs 6 - 8 hours/day to sleep. For children and teenagers, it is 10-12 hours a day. However, when suffering from insomnia, patients can only sleep 3-4 hours/night, and many people even stay up all night, unable to sleep at all.
3️⃣ Poor sleep quality
Not only is there less sleep time, but in people with insomnia, sleep quality can also be poor. Expression is:
– Not sleeping deeply
– Sleep is inconsistent, often interrupted and intermittent
– The patient wakes up a lot during the night, each awakening usually lasts longer than 30 minutes and has difficulty falling back asleep
– Frequently have nightmares, panic attacks or strange actions while sleeping
4️⃣ Waking up early is a sign of insomnia that requires caution
Due to feeling uncomfortable, tossing and turning all night, waking up and not being able to fall back asleep, people with insomnia often tend to wake up very early. There are people who wake up at 3 - 4 am. This is especially noticeable in middle-aged and elderly people.

Stay tuned because in this video we'll cover exactly what insomnia is, what causes it, what its symptoms are, and of course how to treat it. So what is insomnia? Insomnia is basically difficulty or complete inability to fall asleep or stay asleep for long. People with insomnia are unhappy with their sleep patterns and often experience fatigue, low energy, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, depression, and lower performance at work or school. There are actually two types of insomnia: primary and secondary. Primary insomnia is when a person has difficulty sleeping that is not caused by a deeper health problem. Secondary insomnia, on the other hand, is when a person has sleep problems due to an underlying health condition such as asthma, diabetes, depression, body aches, etc. Use of drugs, alcohol or psychotropic substances can also lead to insomnia. Insomnia can also vary depending on how long it lasts and how often it occurs. Based on that, it can be short-term and last only a few days, for example, or long-term leading to chronic cases of insomnia. The causes are actually many - some are physical while others are psychological. For example, an intense stressful event such as a change of location or the death of a loved one can cause symptoms of insomnia. Likewise, environmental discomfort, such as sleeping on a strange bed in a hot or noisy room can also affect our ability to sleep. In addition, some medications such as those that change mood or help control cholesterol can also cause insomnia symptoms. In cases of chronic insomnia, the main causes are chronic anxiety, depression, stress and body pain. Besides not being able to fall asleep on time and easily, other symptoms you may experience are sleepiness throughout the day, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating at work or at school. So what can you do to reduce insomnia symptoms? Of course, the first step
