Insomnia Treatment

Insomnia is an incredibly common condition. As may as 30-50% of all adults will experience periods of insomnia at some point in their lifetimes, and at any given moment about 10% of the general population is afflicted with chronic insomnia. Insomnia is a symptom, not a medical or psychological diagnosis in and of itself, but its effects can be serious and debilitating.

Scientific studies suggest that sleep deprived workers exhibit poorer job performance and lower productivity. They are more likely to make significant errors in judgment and they get into more traffic accident. They are more prone to develop clinical depression and a host of stress-related illnesses.

Many people do not realize that insomnia is treatable, so they ‘gut it out’ without seeking help: a fact that probably leads to underreporting of the actual problem. Most medical professionals classify insomnia according to the length of time the patient has been experiencing the problem.

Transient (or ‘acute’) insomnia is insomnia that has been causing the patient problems for less than a week. Short-term insomnia is the classification used for sleep problems that last from one to three weeks. Trouble sleeping that lasts for three weeks or longer is considered to be chronic insomnia.

Facts About Insomnia

Women report insomnia more often than men do, and the incidence of insomnia also tends to increase with age. Insomnia is more common in poor people, in patients with mental or emotional disorders, in chronic alcoholics, and in people who are under severe stress or have experienced a recent trauma.

Often the first attack of insomnia is triggered by a period of intense difficulty (such as the death of a loved one, job loss, trouble at work, etc.), and then over time becomes a problem in its own right. If the person does not seek treatment for the acute phase of the insomnia, or if the stressful situation does not end, then insomnia can become a chronic condition and lead to more serious problems.

Sometimes insomnia is a symptom of a deeper underlying problem, such as clinical depression, an anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress, addiction to caffeine, drug addiction, various sleep disorders, or a physical illness. In women, the hormonal changes that occur around the menstrual cycle and during menopause can trigger periods of insomnia.

Another common cause of insomnia is a disruption in the normal circadian rhythm (the normal cycle of night and day), such as a shift in time zone (a.k.a. ‘jet lag’) or shift work that constantly changes.
