It is often said that "I didn't have a good rest last night and had a dream all night" and "I was in MUBI at night and didn't fall asleep at all". So it seems that I really feel a little depressed and lack of energy when I study and work on this day, as if dreaming really delayed my rest. According to the traditional concept, some doctors also admit that dreaminess is a sign that the brain has never rested or has a bad rest. In fact, this old concept is wrong. Dreaming and recalling dreams are not indicators of poor sleep, nor can we say that dreaming means poor sleep. As mentioned earlier, dreams are a common physiological phenomenon. Dream or not, have 4 to 5 dreams every night.
It is an exaggeration to say that you dream all night, and it is unrealistic to say that you don't dream, not to mention that MUBI dreams less. At home and abroad, people have made physiological tests on insomnia, dreaming all night or MUBI's chronic insomnia, and carried out EEG tracing and research with various physiological instruments. These patients who complained of "MUBI" and "dreaming all night" were recorded objectively, and their sleep cycles were no different from those of normal people, and the proportion and actual time of their fast-wave sleep period with dreams were not obviously shortened or prolonged. "Dreaming all night" and "MUBI" have the same experience. Others give psychological tests to such patients, believing that this experience has something to do with personality. No matter from the universal law of human sleep or from the results of experimental research, dream feeling and insomnia may not be necessarily related. Whether or not you have a dream feeling and the degree of it can't be used as an objective indicator of insomnia.
In that case, why do people always associate dreaming with insomnia? As we have said many times before, dreams are inevitable physiological phenomena and active physiological processes during fast wave sleep, which are manifested in the forms of performance components, perceptual memory activities and unconventional associations.
Dream feeling refers to the memory of some plots in the dream after waking up, or just the impression of having a dream, and even the content of the dream is difficult to explain clearly. People who complain about insomnia and dreamless dreams should refer to the feeling of dreams, which is related to emotional factors and personality characteristics. For example, introverts pay more attention to their inner feelings, sleep lightly and are easy to wake up or wake up, and often recall vivid dreams; People who are depressed and anxious are easy to wake up from their dreams, so they feel dreamy and sleep uneasily. The researchers also found that MUBI is closely related to the degree of waking up during sleep, and people who report themselves in MUBI on weekdays are more likely to wake up during sleep. In the sleep experiment, as long as the volume of 20 decibels is enough to wake them up, and their dream memory is also very high.
Clinically, people who often see sudden dreaminess are often related to being hurt by seven emotions, being in a bad mood and sleeping uneasily, so insomnia is often accompanied by dreaminess.
Clinical observation and experimental results prove that the chief complaint of insomnia, especially long-term insomnia, is unreliable. Many scholars have studied the patients who complained of insomnia and found that insomnia is related to psychological disorders. They often overestimate the sleep latency and underestimate the actual sleep time. During the experimental test, the description of sleep parameters by insomnia patients is inconsistent with the objective records, either exaggerated or narrowed. Most experts believe that the experience of insomnia is related to mood and personality.
There are many reasons for insomnia. Mental factors such as mental tension, excitement, depression, fear, anxiety and boredom can often cause insomnia; Social and environmental factors such as excessive work and study pressure, environmental changes, noise, light and air pollution are another important reason; Bad habits such as overeating at dinner, drinking tea and coffee before going to bed can also lead to insomnia.

It can be manifested as difficulty in falling asleep; Get up early; It is easy to wake up when sleeping; It is difficult to fall asleep after waking up; Sleep quality decreased, dreamy; Sleep time is significantly reduced. The incidence of insomnia is very high.

treat cordially
First, don't be nervous, build up confidence and seek reasonable and effective ways to overcome insomnia. Insomnia is not a serious disease, 1 day or a few days without sleeping for a few hours. Can be combined with dietotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, acupuncture, physical therapy, qigong and so on.
Second, for secondary insomnia, it is mainly to deal with the basic diseases or symptoms that cause insomnia. Generally speaking, after the cause of insomnia is solved, insomnia will be cured.
Thirdly, for the treatment of primary insomnia, the most important thing is to adjust sleep habits and restore normal biological rhythm. Everyone's sleep time is different, and shorter sleep time has little effect on the human body.
Fourth, general insomnia can be cured through etiology, psychological and physical relaxation treatment. Sleeping pills are only used when necessary, and they are temporary and cannot be taken for a long time. Otherwise, it is easy to produce tolerance and dependence.
Don't go to bed early, or you will sleep in bed. Don't have a psychological burden. Now you are always afraid that you can't sleep again tonight, right? This kind of psychology is actually an important factor leading to insomnia. Don't always think about not sleeping today. I'm going to sleep today, so I'm going to sleep. Because people who don't have insomnia don't think about it when they sleep. It seems chaotic, so don't always think that I must sleep.
