Rio – You end up with the moodiness, lack of memory, discouragement, irritation and other ailments? Often, to solve these problems, just sleep. It is that insomnia can cause it all. Ideally, look for a doctor to end the serious problem that affects millions of people. But exercise, have a healthy diet, avoid TV, tablets and phones at bedtime can also help stop insomnia, researchers say.
“At night our body is prepared to relax. But it is in bed, at bedtime, many people want to watch TV or get on the phone, on social networks. That light that strikes the eye confuses the brain, which is currently resting, “said Edilson Zancanella, Unicamp professor and coordinator of the Department of Sleep Medicine of the Brazilian Association of Otolaryngology.
To improve the appearance, reduce stress, stimulate the brain and even lose a few pounds, the ideal would be to shut down the confusions of everyday life. And try to sleep between seven and nine hours a day. “Sleep deprivation increases stress hormones and reduces immune function. Read and listen to quiet music help us sleep well, “Zancanella says.
the World Association of Sleep Medicine says that insomnia is a global epidemic that threatens the health and quality of life of up to 45% of the world population. According to the institution, the world is experiencing a sleep restriction epidemic. And the disorders are a risk factor for mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.
ENT specializing in the type disorders and professor of UERJ, Lucas Lemes says some practices considered beliefs can help you sleep. For him, a glass of warm milk at night or a warm bath serve as soothing. “What they call Grandma’s recipe, like hot milk, releases serotonin (hormone) that helps to relax. It’s almost a remedy, “he explains.
The hustle and bustle and noise in large cities, stressful work, lack of time for proper nutrition and other problems related to cities are a serious problem in life population. Thus, between 40% and 50% of people living in big cities like Rio and Sao Paulo, bad sleep. “In today’s world, the modern world, it is very difficult to sleep for lack of time,” says Helms, who for 17 years research sleep disorders.
According to the doctor Lawrence Epstein, author of ‘Guide of the Harvard Medical School for a good night’s sleep’ sleep duration, for example, decreased from an average of eight hours in the 1950s to seven in recent years. In this regard, blood pressure and heart rate are at their lowest levels during sleep. And usually, the sleeper less tends to have higher pressure.
Doctors warn that one must be very careful with black stripe remedies, usually misused by those who suffer from insomnia. Seven out of ten patients with insomnia who go to clinics want medicine to sleep. “There are cases in which patients are dependent in just three months,” says Edilson Zancanella.
The property manager Tereza Ignez, 55 years, is one of those patients who only sleep-based drugs or alcohol. Living in an apartment facing the Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, one of the noisiest in the neighborhood, she says she can sleep, on average, three hours a night. “Most of the time only sleep when I take medicine or drink wine glasses. If I do not sleep right indisposed agreement, I can not go to the gym, I’m a wreck. Step so for almost 30 years since my son was born, “she complains.
To problems thus created LabSono UFRJ, the first public network polysomnography laboratory in Rio, where the patient spends the night to be examined. The lab came from the Hypertension Program, developed by the own University Hospital.
Based on a search of the Sleep Institute, Zancanella says that 32.9% of Brazilians working age suffer from sleep apnea (stop breathing while sleeping). “This is also one of the causes that interrupt a good sleep,” said the doctor, noting that 30% of postmenopausal women and 5% of children are prone to this problem.
