Adaptive insomnia
This type of insomnia is caused by acute stress for the psyche or body: for example, changing time zones. Negative emotions received during the day can also provoke its appearance. Remember if there was anything in the last few days that could have affected your nervous system a lot. In this case, only time and your desire to normalize the routine will help.
Violation of sleep hygiene
This type of insomnia occurs when you do not pay proper attention to what accompanies sleep. For example, you do not comply with the regime - go to bed at nine in the evening, then at five in the morning. Or have a hearty dinner at night. All these can affect your body, preventing it from resting. The only solution, in this case, will be your desire to establish a daily routine and monitor its implementation.
Organic insomnia
Such insomnia can be caused by organic diseases of internal organs, and sometimes - by genetic family insomnia or other similar pathologies. This also includes insomnia caused by other symptoms not directly related to sleep: heartburn, nausea, headache. In this case, you need to treat not insomnia itself, but try to find the root of the problems and influence the prime cause.
Parasomnia
Parasomnia, or disruptive sleep, is associated with engaging in inappropriate actions during sleep, such as sleepwalking or responding to night terrors. Despite the difference in the manifestations and causes of these disorders, in all cases, they are associated with a violation of the regulation of sleep by the nervous system. To solve this problem, you can use medicines, behavioral therapy or try to change your lifestyle.
