What is Sleep Disorder?

Sleep is a very important process in which repairs are made in the person’s body and growth hormones are secreted in children. A healthy adult body needs 6-8 hours of sleep per day. In children, the sleep duration, which can be up to 18 hours in the newborn period, is around 12 in the preschool period and 10 hours in school children.

When it comes to sleep disorder, the first thing that comes to mind is not being able to sleep. It is a functional problem where sleep duration is very short and sometimes nights pass without sleeping at all. It can have types such as not being able to fall asleep, waking up frequently, waking up in the middle of the night before morning and not being able to fall asleep again.

Sleeping for a sufficient amount of time but feeling restless or sleeping more than necessary are also sleep disorders.

What is the harm?

When sufficient and quality sleep is not achieved, the body cannot renew itself. Since the nervous system cannot function properly, concentration and learning difficulties, irritability, anxiety disorder and depression symptoms may occur if it continues for a long time. The immune system decreases and diseases are easily caught. Problems in the digestive and circulatory systems become easier to occur.

What are the causes?

Sleep disorders can have many psychological and organic causes.

The most common cause of short-term sleep disorders is mental stress. The most basic problem is that the person carries the problems related to his daily life to bed. Subconscious loads and conflicts may underlie longer sleep problems.

Physical and chemical stresses can also cause sleep problems. Electromagnetic stresses that the person is exposed to, heavy physical effort, heavy meals, alcohol, tea, coffee and cigarette consumption can also cause sleep disorders. Toxic loads such as heavy metals and acids accumulated in the person’s body, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, intestinal flora disorders, food sensitivities, and residues of past diseases can disrupt sleep quality.

If the sum of these loads is called the individual garbage bin, the fuller the person’s individual garbage bin is, the worse the sleep quality will be.

In long-term sleep disorders, the cause is mostly psychiatric and neurological diseases.

How is Sleep Disorder Treated?

Short-term sleep disorders can be corrected with stress management and lifestyle changes.

It is necessary to avoid heavy meals in the evening, excessive alcohol, smoking, tea and coffee consumption. If the person has food sensitivities and the foods they are sensitive to are consumed, it can disrupt sleep quality. Although alcohol is sometimes consumed to relax and sleep, it may be partially beneficial in falling asleep, but since it disrupts sleep quality, the person wakes up feeling unrefreshed. Therefore, consuming alcohol to sleep does more harm than good. Similarly, tea, coffee and cigarettes, especially consumed close to bedtime, can also disrupt sleep quality. Therefore, more herbal teas should be drunk close to bedtime and substances that can disrupt sleep quality should not be consumed.

In terms of mental relaxation, relaxing and interesting books can be read or movies can be watched in the evening to get away from daily problems. Meditation, breathing exercises and listening to relaxing music can make significant contributions.

There should be no mobile phone, TV or socket near the bed head that will create electromagnetic frequencies in the bedroom. The bed should only be used for sleeping, and living room activities such as watching TV series and movies should not be done in the bedroom.

It may be necessary to seek medical help in cases of long-term insomnia. The first place to go in this regard is psychiatry clinics. The source of the problem should be illuminated with interviews and examinations to be conducted here, and serious underlying problems should be eliminated. Treatments are given and medications are prescribed according to the source of the problem found.

If there is no significant underlying organic problem or a serious psychiatric disease, Regulation Medicine Applications also provide very important contributions.

Microsystem Acupuncture, in particular, affects the sleep centers and has a significant therapeutic effect on sleep.

Homeopathy can make a significant contribution with effective frequency remedies in sleep treatment. Melatonin frequencies, which are the sleep hormone, bach flowers and some plant frequencies are frequently used in treatment. A more accurate treatment can be given to the person by determining the beneficial frequencies with bioinformative analysis.

Neural therapy provides a significant benefit as a result of resetting the biphysical stresses that create stress in the body and relaxing the nervous system.

The psychokinesiology method can improve sleep by discharging the stress energy created by the person’s subconscious loadings.

In addition, it is very important to determine the food sensitivities that create biochemical stress in the person and to provide a personalized diet, necessary vitamin and mineral supplements, and detoxification of heavy metals and acid load.
