Types of Hyper Insomnia
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. There are many people like you who suffer from a condition called hyper-insomnia. It is a type of sleep disorder where a person has trouble staying awake during the day. Even after getting a full night’s sleep, they still feel exhausted and drowsy. As a result, they can’t concentrate on their work or studies and their quality of life suffers.
Hypersomnia may be either primary or secondary:
Primary Hyper Insomnia:
This is a type of hypersomnia that is not caused by any other underlying medical condition. It may be idiopathic, which means that the cause is unknown. Primary hypersomnia may run in families, but the exact inheritance pattern is unknown.
Secondary Hyper Insomnia:
This type of hypersomnia is caused by another underlying medical condition. It may be caused by a sleep disorder, such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea. It may also be caused by a medical condition, such as depression, bipolar disorder, or heart failure. Secondary hypersomnia may also be caused by certain medications, such as sedatives or antipsychotics.
Reasons for Hyper Insomnia:
There are many reasons why people may suffer from hyper-insomnia. Some of the most common causes include:
Stress:
Stress can be a major factor in causing Hyper Insomnia. When you’re under a lot of stress, your body is in a constant state of alertness, which makes it difficult to relax and fall asleep.
Anxiety:
Anxiety can also make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep. If you’re worried about something, your mind may race and you may have trouble falling asleep.
Depression:
Depression can cause insomnia or make it worse. If you’re depressed, you may have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. You may also wake up early and not be able to get back to sleep.
Medical conditions:
There are a number of medical conditions that can cause insomnia, including:
- Chronic pain can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that causes stomach acid to back up into the esophagus. This can cause heartburn and make it difficult to sleep.
- Restless legs syndrome is a condition that causes an irresistible urge to move your legs. This can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.
- Sleep apnea is a condition that causes you to stop breathing for short periods of time during sleep. This can cause you to wake up frequently and make it difficult to sleep.
- Thyroid problems can cause insomnia or make it worse. If you have a thyroid problem, you may have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
Natural Ways to Relieve Hyper Insomnia:
There are many ways to relieve Hyper Insomnia without medication. You can try behavioural therapies, like cognitive-behavioural therapy or relaxation therapy. You could also try changing your sleep habits, such as going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bed. If you still have trouble sleeping after trying these things, talk to your therapist about other possible treatments.
Cognitive-behavioural therapy:
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that can help you change the way you think about and react to insomnia. CBT can help you learn how to better manage stress and anxiety, which can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Relaxation therapy:
Relaxation therapy is a type of therapy that can help you learn how to relax your body and mind. Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation, can help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
Sleep hygiene:
Sleep hygiene is the term used to describe healthy sleep habits. There are a number of things you can do to improve your sleep hygiene, including:
- Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed
