DISCOVER THE REASONS WHY YOU CAN'T SLEEP IN NIGHTS

Watching TV shows

423 people aged from 18 to 25 took part in a study at the University of Michigan. They completed an online survey assessing regular television viewings, binge - watching, sleep quality, fatigue, insomnia, and pre-sleep alertness. Binge - watching was defines as ' watching multiple consecutive episodes of the same television show in one sitting on a screen.' The authors of the study claim that because of TV shows are suspenseful, the viewers have to be completely immersed in the plot.

As a result, such an intensive interaction with TV content may require a longer recovery period to fall asleep. This may cause insomnia.

Alcohol

4970 adults took part in a study at john hopkins university, The participants told the scientists the number of days when they had drunk 4 or more drinks in one day for the past 3 months. The answer were to calculate the average number of days when participants had drunk alcohol. The participants also claimed that they had sleeping problems.

The result showed that people who drink 2 or more times a week are often more susceptible to having sleeping problems.

Energy drinks

The consumption of energy drinks has grown over the last few years. A 4 - year study carried out by experts from camilo jose cela university (UCJC) has evaluated the positive and negative effects of energy drinks on people. The participants claimed that they had more power and stamina, but they become more nervous and had insomnia.

The negative consequences are connected with caffeine in the drinks, which stimulates the central nervous system.

Stress

The result of a study by the american academy of sleep medicine show that stress can cause insomnia. Thomas Roth and his colleagues are sure that the way a patient deals with a situation is very important. The more they can distract and distance themselves from the source of stress, the better.

When a person is constantly stressed, insomnia can become chronic.

Asthma

A team of researchers from the university of Pittsburgh has found that insomnia is highly prevalent in adults with asthma. 37% of the subjects who had breathing problems also had sleeping disorders. The participants with insomnia found it more difficult to deal with their condition and they suffered from depression and other symptoms.

Scientists think that it's very important for patients with asthma to treat their insomnia as soon as they can.

Menopause

It is known that women more often have insomnia. The new study at the Pennsylvania state university suggests that during the menopause, the risk of insomnia increases by several times. The most popular complaints are difficulties falling asleep and the decrease in the overall quality of sleep.

Out of 3302 participants, more than one third had insomnia. They reported waking up at night.

Weak immune system

Dr. Eamonn mallon from the university of Leicester showed that the immune system can also be a reason for insomnia. The biologist says that the popular misconception is that when we are sick, we sleep more. However, the study he conducted showed that insomnia caused by a sickness is very widely spread.

A weak immune system may lead to getting sick which causes a sleep disorder.
