When one gets past the age of five or to be more precise, when one learns to communicate, the word "cant stay asleep" becomes common. To those who can't utter it actions speaks louder than words; the crying babies that are such nuisance especially after a long tedious day in the cooperate world. The cause of insomnia has therefore raised a lot of questions, especially in the field of psychology to find the cause and remedy for this condition.
From the field of research, statistics show that about 40 million Americans undergo sleeping disorder ranging from chronic levels to advanced or acute lack of sleep. This takes into consideration normal sleeping hours required by people of different ages. 1200 Native Americans within the age bracket of 21-31 were questioned by Health Maintenance Organization in Machigan. Review showed that life insomnia had the highest prevalence of 16.6%, followed by hyperinsomnia recording 8.2% and finally hyperinsomnia plus insomnia affecting 8% of the population. It is also a fact that women are more affected by insomnia than men keeping the age factor constant. Youth in the modern day have being hit my sleeping disorders due to long hours they spend on the PC as many jobs demand technological skills.
A lot of efforts from government and NGOs have been put into insomnia research. Some of the institutions in the forefront of this fight are The Insomnia Center at Clayton sleep institute. This institution runs diagnosis and treatment using focused and dedicated emphasis on comprehensive care for patient suffering this condition.
In the resent past, several causes of insomnia have been identified and this ranges from medical condition, for instance asthma, sedentary lifestyle, working schedule, anxiety e. G. How the upcoming interview will end, how your spouse will respond to the "will you marry me" proposal, exams, among others.
Psychiatric disorders which ranges from depression, post-traumatic stress from horrific events in the human lives e. G. Accidents, rape cases, massacre are some of the fundamental areas areas that calls for urgent reviews if progress is to be attained. Some diseases such as cancer, meningitis, headaches cause a lot of pain that is associated with insomnia. If this condition is left untouched it reoccur and also cause onset of depression.
Various drugs are highly attributed to lack of sleep. Miraa is a stimulant that makes the user to stay awake long hours. Other commonly abused drugs include alcohol which interferes with the neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate sleep. Cocaine on the other hand is a stimulant and and induces euphoria and this drug has effect on dopamine; affecting sleeping pattern.
One good news is that several ways of diagnosis and treatment have being discovered.
