Do you really need to take medicine for your insomnia? First, take a look at your sleep type!
1. Not all insomnia is called insomnia
“ I couldn’t sleep yesterday ”, “ I haven’t been sleeping well lately ” , do you often say this?
But clinically, insomnia is not just occasional poor sleep, but :
• Difficulty falling asleep, waking up easily or waking up too early at least 3 times a week
• Sleep problems lasting more than 3 months
• and interfere with daytime life, work or mood
📌 The World Health Organization ( WHO ) points out that about 10% of adults suffer from chronic insomnia , but at the same time, a large number of people mistakenly believe that " short-term poor sleep " requires drug treatment.
Therefore, before taking medication, you should first understand: what kind of sleep problem do you have? Do you really need medication intervention?
2. There are 4 common types of sleep disorders. Which one does yours belong to?
