Sleep Disorders types and their causes

 

Snoring or Sleep Apnea:

This can be caused by any type of obstruction in the upper respiratory tract, resulting in obstructive sleep apnea. Also, if the brain fails to start the breathing process, then this problem also occurs.

 

Overweight or obesity are the most common causes of obstructive sleep apnea. Because obesity also affects the soft tissues of the mouth and throat. During sleep, when the muscles of the throat and tongue are relaxed, these soft tissues block the respiratory passages. But in adults, there may be other factors that may be associated with snoring or sleep apnea.

 

Insomnia:

Insomnia is a condition in which a person is not able to get enough sleep which reduces his fatigue. Due to this condition the person does not sleep or the eye opens quickly. There can be many reasons for not sleeping, such as stress, problems with flying on Flight, any health problems, eating some kind of medicine and even drinking excessive amounts of coffee can affect sleep. Insomnia can also be caused by some other sleeping sickness such as anxiety or depression.

Parasomnias:

Parasomnia includes problems such as loss of consciousness. These include fear of sleeping, walking in sleep, eating in sleep, moving eyes while sleeping (REM behaviour disorder) etc. Apart from this, there can be many such behaviour which are seen in a person at bedtime.

 

Parasomnia is a disease that is often passed on from generation to generation and hence in many cases it may also be a genetic factor. Some cases of parasomnia can also be caused by a neurological disorder, such as rapid eye movement at bedtime. Some other sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea or certain types of medications can also be the cause of parasomnia.

 

Narcolepsy:

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder. The cause of narcolepsy is attributed to hypocretin deficiency in most cases. Hypocreatin is the chemical of the brain that drives the sleep process. It is also a neurotransmitter, with the help of which signals are sent. You can work to control whether you are sleeping or awake working with some nerve cells (or with neurons in the brain).

 

It is believed that when the immune system starts to damage any part of the brain that creates hypocretin due to a disturbance, then this chemical starts to decrease.

 

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:

In this disease, the patient feels very tired, which does not get cured even after taking sufficient rest and even gets worse after doing some physical activity.

 

Restless Legs Syndrome:

It is a neurological disorder in which a strange discomfort arises in the leg and feels like moving continuously. It can also be associated with some type of abnormal chemical (neurotransmitter) of the brain, as these chemicals help the muscle to relax. Apart from this, due to any abnormality in the central nervous system, it can also cause foot shaking disease.

 

Prevention of Sleep Disorders

There are some ways in which sleepiness can be prevented-

 

1.       Do not do any other work at night, give priority to good sleep. Keep for 7 to 9 hours of sleep every day and do not do any other work in these hours nor get up in the middle of sleep. Wake up at the same time every morning, even on vacation days, do not make any change in the time of getting up.

2.       Your bedroom (bedroom) should be cool, quiet and light. You can also use a fan to eliminate excess noise. Also, make sure that your bed and pillow are completely comfortable before sleeping.

3.       Use your bedroom room only for sleeping, do not do any other work there nor do you turn on the TV. When you are feeling tired then go to your bedroom and try to sleep, if you are unable to sleep for 15 minutes then go to another room and try to do something else.

4.       Exercising regularly improves your sleep, but do not exercise much in the morning and afternoon.

5.       Create an established time to rest regularly. Do not use any stimulant before bed such as coffee, chocolate and nicotine etc. Apart from this, television, computer or phone etc. should not be used before sleeping. Read a book, listen to light music or meditate before bedtime.

6.       Do not look at the clock at night, because by doing this you start feeling anxious. Do not put the watch in front of your eyes.

7.       Older people who are unable to sleep properly at night may sleep in the afternoon. One should not sleep more in the afternoon, because doing so does not cause sleep at night.

8.       Try to move a little outside in the day time, especially in the morning.
