Understanding and Overcoming Insomnia: A Guide to Better SleepNature Relaxing
Summary of Main Points: Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including medical conditions, medications, lifestyle factors, and psychological factors
Introduction
The sleep – wakefulness cycle is genetically determined rather than learned and is established sometime after birth.Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity and [inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscle during REM sleep] reduced interactions with surroundings.
Sleep can be regarded as a physiological reversible reduction of conscious awareness. Nearly one third of human life is spent in sleep. Disorders of sleep can affect activities of daily living (ADL) of an individual.
Definition
It is an easily reversible state of relative unresponsiveness and serenity which occurs more or less regularly and repetitively each day.
The EEG recordings show typical features of sleep which is broadly divided into two broadly different phases:
1. D-sleep (desynchronised or dreaming sleep), also called as REM- sleep (rapid eye movement sleep),active sleep, or paradoxical sleep.
2. S-sleep (synchronised sleep), also called as NREM-sleep (non-REM sleep), quiet sleep, or orthodox sleep. S-sleep or NREM-sleep is further divided into four stages, ranging from stages 1 to 4. As the person falls asleep, the person fifi rst passes through these stages of NREM-sleep.
Stages of sleep
The EEG recording during the waking state shows alpha waves of 8-12 cycles/sec. frequency. The onset of sleep is characterised by a disappearance of the alpha-activity.
Stage 1, NREM-sleep is the first and the ligh test stage of sleep characterised by an absence of alphawaves, and low voltage, predominantly theta activity.
Stage 2, NREM-sleep follows the stage 1 within a few minutes and is characterised by two typical EEG changes:
i. Sleep spindles: Regular spindle shaped waves of 13-15 cycles/sec. frequency, lasting 0.5-2.0
seconds, with a charac teristic waxing and waning amplitude.
ii. K-complexes: High voltage spikes present intermittently.
Stage 3, NREM-sleep shows appearance of high voltage, 75 μV, δ-waves of 0.5-3.0 cycles/sec.
Stage 4, NREM-sleep shows predominant δ-activity in EEG. NREM-sleep is followed by REM-sleep, which is a light phase of sleep. The EEG is characterised by a return of α-waves (α-wave sleep); other changes are similar to stage 1 NREM-sleep. One of the most characteristic features of the REM-sleep is presence of REM or rapid (conjugate) eye move ments. The other features include generalised mus cular atony, penile erection, autonomic hyperactivity (increase in pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure), and movements of small muscle groups, occurring intermittently. Although it is a light stage of sleep, arousal is diffificult. These stages occur regularly throughout the whole duration of sleep. The first REM period occurs typically after 90 minutes of the onset of sleep, although it can start as early as 7 minutes after going off to sleep, e.g. in narcolepsy, in major depression, and after sleep deprivation.
It should be a very simple thing to go to sleep. How complex should something be that is an innate ability? It shouldn’t take much effort at all. It’s an inborn ability, along with other certain bodily functions. When we’re newborns, we can eat, sleep and wet the bed. Our automatic functions continue throughout our lives. So you should just be able to close your eyes, relax and you are off to dreamland. But this is not an option for many, many people. Sleep doesn’t come as easy as that.

Insomnia and Anxiety: Causes, Symptoms, and TreatmentNature Relaxing
insomnia and anxiety are two interconnected conditions that can significantly impact daily life, including productivity, relationships, and mental and physical health. Insomnia can lead to anxiety, and anxiety can worsen insomnia, creating a vicious cycle. It is essential to seek professional help if you are experiencing symptoms of insomnia or anxiety, as these conditions can be effectively managed with appropriate treatment. Medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, and complementary and alternative therapies are all potential treatment options. Prevention strategies, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, and creating a sleep-conducive environment, can also be effective in reducing the risk of developing these conditions. By taking steps towards improving sleep and mental health, individuals can improve their overall quality of life and well-being.

There are approximately 60 million people who suffer from insomnia. These are
statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and
considered accurate. When you break that down, that means insomnia affects
approximately 40 percent of all women and 30 percent of all men.
This condition seems to drive some people to the edge of madness, as they fight
to get enough sleep. The effects can be devastating to those afflicted, and as F.
Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, “The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and
not to.” There are so many with the affliction that sleep clinics have sprung up all
over the country in an effort to help.
Overcoming insomnia may not be easy, but there is hope. Inside this book, we
are going to explore the subject in depth to help you get a good night’s sleep!
Pulmonologist, Jenny Kim, MD, FCCP of our Sleep Disorders Center partnered with the Livingston Health Department to present, Can’t Sleep? The ABCs of Your ZZZs to the community. During the session, Dr. Kim discussed tips for improving sleep and treatment options for common sleep disorders.
