What causes difficulty falling asleep?
Insomnia may be caused by poor lifestyle habits, unfavorable sleeping environments, or medical conditions, and requires management based on specific circumstances.
1. Poor Lifestyle Habits: Irregular sleep patterns, staying up late frequently, using phones or watching movies before bed to keep the brain in a state of excitement, or consuming spicy and stimulating food or coffee before bedtime can all lead to poor sleep quality, making it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. It is recommended to promptly correct these poor habits.
2. Stress: Long-term life and work stress may cause anxiety, depression, neurasthenia, or autonomic nervous dysfunction, leading to insomnia. It is important to self-adjust and manage negative emotions.
3. Medical Factors: Conditions such as yin and blood deficiency, qi and blood insufficiency, or disharmony between the heart and kidneys may cause insomnia. Trouble falling asleep at night due to distress and confusion may also be accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness. Treatments such as Shi Quan Da Bu Wan, Ba Zhen Tang, and Da Bu Yin Wan can be used under the guidance of a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.
