Over the past two years, ms. Yin has been suffering from sleep difficulties, which have gradually increased from 3 to 4 hours in the early hours to 2 hours, accompanied by depression, emotional distress, frequent fatigue, and occasional heart failure, with less and less success after a period of “insomnia combined depression.” in particular, at the end of last year, ms. Yin intensified her insomnia with the new coronary virus, so that she was able to sleep, woke up one or two hours later, and then fell asleep again. Over the past two months, ms. Yin, at the china medical insomnia clinic, followed medical advice and adjusted the treatment programme to a combination of west and central medicine and non-pharmaceutical treatment, with a step-by-step programme of “renal retaliation, liver decomposition”. After two sessions of treatment, her sleep time was significantly extended to 4-5 hours。
Professionals have to be professional. Insomnia clinics do have “extreme life”. Based on the individual characteristics of the insomnia patient, the chinese physician develops the “quadtrotherapy”: basic therapy + chinese pharmacological treatment + diet therapy + motor therapy, based on the principle of “urgent treatment, slow treatment” and focusing on the core issues, resolving outstanding contradictions, phased, cause-seeking, step-by-step, identification, diagnosis and partiality, based on cognitive behaviour therapy, individualized treatment of chinese medicine as a core treatment, supported by acupuncture therapy, with short-term or occasional use of western medicine if necessary, in conjunction with guidance on individual diet and exercise. Emphasis is placed on emotional and emotional adjustment, accurate diagnosis and analysis of the patient's mental state, and appropriate psychological guidance to achieve physical and psychological harmony, sleep improvement and quality of life。
In the four months since the opening of the insomnia clinic, more than 80 per cent of the insomnia patients admitted to the northern hospital of the city are middle-aged and old-age friends. As a result of chinese medicine treatment, the quality of sleep has improved for most people, some insomnia patients have reduced their use or frequency of western medicine, and even those who have stopped using it can sleep peacefully。
Insomnia is not a patent for the elderly, and there is also an increasing trend among the middle-aged and young insomnia population. Insomnia, although not a serious disease, has become a major threat to public health due to the large number of people suffering from it, which affects normal life, work and learning. Good sleep not only eliminates fatigue, restores physical strength, protects the brain, strengthens memory, but also plays a vital role in maintaining mental health and improving immunity。
In order to have high-quality sleep, it is necessary, first, to establish a regular sleep schedule that helps to create a natural sleep rhythm. Secondly, create comfortable sleep environments, silent light interference. During the first half hour of sleep, attempts were made to reduce stress and stress by relaxing physically and mentally. Proper exercise during the day allows the body to sleep more easily in the evenings, avoids large amounts of food and alcohol for dinner, avoids as much as possible the consumption of coffee, tea and other irritating substances, and avoids more intense exercise in the 3-4 hours before bed. When sleep is less efficient, it is recommended to get up and read books or do relaxing things and not want to go to sleep immediately with excessive anxiety。
