Sleep Disorder Treatment in Dnipro

Sleep disturbances: causes

Narcolepsy, insomnia, hypersomnia and other conditions can be triggered by various causes:

1. Mental illness – depression, dementia, neuroses, psychoses, anxiety disorders, phobias.
2. Medications. The active or auxiliary components of some medications can cause overstimulation followed by sleep disturbances.
3. Smoking, alcohol, energy drinks and drugs. Nicotine, coffee and drugs are powerful stimulants that overexcite the body and disrupt sleep. Alcohol sometimes helps you fall asleep faster but can disrupt deep sleep and cause frequent night awakenings.
4. Diseases of internal organs. Reflux esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus), diabetes, thyrotoxicosis (high levels of thyroid hormones in the blood), bronchial asthma, arthritis, kidney failure, cardiovascular diseases (congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemia, stroke).
5. Chronic stress. Unresolved psychological trauma, constant life difficulties (problems at work, the death of a loved one), overwork.
6. Hormonal imbalance. In women, sleep disorders often occur during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause due to changes in hormone levels.
7. Old age. In older people, sleep disturbances are most often caused by multiple chronic diseases, reduced physical activity, medications and depression.
8. Poor sleep hygiene. Regularly shifting biorhythms, using devices that emit blue light (smartphones, tablets, etc.), watching TV, intense physical activity before bedtime, late dinners.

It is hard to determine on your own why sleep is disturbed. Persistent sleep disorders require professional diagnostics to prescribe proper treatment.

Sleep disturbances: symptoms

The key symptom of parasomnias and dyssomnias is a feeling of not getting enough sleep. This usually happens because of difficulty falling asleep or frequent night awakenings. Accompanying symptoms include:

• lack of energy after waking;
• excessive sleepiness while awake;
• emotional discomfort;
• reduced physical and mental activity;
• lack of concentration.

Parasomnias are often accompanied by enuresis, night terrors, epileptic seizures and sleepwalking. Apnea (brief pauses in breathing during sleep) is characterized by a feeling of suffocation during sleep, a dry throat, shortness of breath and chronic snoring; signs of high blood pressure may also appear due to the disrupted breathing rhythm. Persistent sleep disturbances can lead to serious emotional disorders. Symptoms may vary depending on the cause and individual characteristics.
