Having a good night's sleep is important for everyone.
If you don't have a good night's sleep, it will affect your mood and work status the next day, and poor sleep quality or insomnia for a long time will also affect the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, causing symptoms such as palpitation and dizziness.
Poor sleep is also divided into a variety of situations, can be divided into difficulty falling asleep, difficult to sleep after waking up, etc., and people who wake up at 2-3 o'clock in the morning and can't sleep again belong to a kind of insomnia, so what is going on? There are 3 reasons that should not be overlooked.
1. Mental life is stressful
If the mental life is too stressful, it is easy to have difficulty falling asleep after waking up.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the time between 2 and 3 a.m. belongs to the liver meridian, which happens to be the time for liver detoxification and blood reconstruction.
When a person is in a state of excessive anxiety for a long time, it will affect the nerve function, disorder the autonomic nerve function, cause the liver qi to lose its smoothness, and affect the qi of the whole body, so that there will be a situation where you can no longer sleep after waking up at 2-3 o'clock in the morning.
However, long-term insomnia can also aggravate anxiety, make the whole person more restless, and even have gastrointestinal disorders such as excessive sweating, indigestion, and stomach bloating.
Poor sleep at night will inevitably affect the mental state during the day, and the whole person will be in a groggy state, which will greatly reduce work efficiency.
If you only have insomnia once in the morning once in a while, it may be caused by recent stress or some kind of stimulation, try not to use medication for insomnia in this situation, and try to release stress and soothe your mood to improve.
However, if you have insomnia in the early morning for a long time, you need to be relieved by medication, and it is recommended to go to a specialized department for consultation and treatment.
In addition, for mental anxiety, depression and other diseases caused by long-term poor sleep, professional psychological treatment should be carried out to avoid aggravating the condition due to improper treatment methods.
2. Menopausal women
45~55 years old is the most common age for female menopause, and women in menopause are a transitional period when ovarian function gradually declines to disappear.
As the ovarian function of menopausal women continues to decline, the number of ovulations will become less and less, and the amount of estrogen secreted will also decrease as the feedback regulation of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland continues to weaken.
In this series of states of reduced function, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders, and autonomic dysfunction can occur, resulting in menopausal syndromes such as nighttime insomnia.
If middle-aged women often wake up in the early morning and can't sleep, it is likely that menopause is coming.
Therefore, women in the menopausal age must pay attention to observe whether there are abnormal manifestations at ordinary times, and intervene and treat them as soon as possible to avoid the pain of insomnia.
3. Neurasthenia
Neurasthenia can also occur when you wake up at 2-3 a.m. and can't sleep, and long-term work pressure, mental tension and low mood can cause neurasthenia.
The insomnia caused by neurasthenia is mostly caused by autonomic nerve dysfunction, and for neurasthenia-type insomnia, you can try traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, and severe insomnia needs to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.
In addition, you can also help you fall asleep by soaking your feet in hot water, listening to music, etc., and you must learn to relax and relieve stress in time.
For people who can't sleep after waking up at 2-3 a.m., it is likely that the above three reasons are caused.
When such manifestations occur in life, we must be vigilant, find out the cause of insomnia as soon as possible, and treat the symptoms on this basis, so as to avoid the occurrence of various diseases.
