Sleeping difficulty, remaining asleep once you have finally dozed off, waking up too early or throughout the night, and then having trouble resuming sleep once you have awakened, is called insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects more than hundreds of thousands of people across the world, and it can be long-term or short-term, depending on the underlying cause.
Short-term insomnia, also called acute insomnia, is typically characterized by sleep disruption that occurs anywhere from just one night to one to two weeks. It also often tends to happen as a result of life events.
On the other hand, long-term insomnia, also called chronic insomnia, is a sleep disruption that occurs for up to three nights out of the week and lasts for up to three months or longer. It also tends to have more serious underlying causes. Insomnia may only occur periodically with bouts of no sleep issues.
Sleeplessness and sleep disruption can keep you from waking feeling refreshed, which can begin to affect every aspect of your life. Therefore, people with insomnia must seek effective treatment if they wish to maintain their quality of life. Massage Therapy for Insomnia has been proven to help restore healthy sleeping habits so you awake feeling your best, which helps enable you to get the most out of your life.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms of insomnia differ from person to person, as well as the underlying cause; however, some of the most common symptoms include:
Insomnia can also cause irritability and depression due to a lack of sleep. It can also cause you to oversleep, affecting your mood. After a while, it may also affect your focus, which can cause you to fall short of your duties. In the meantime, if you suffer from daytime drowsiness, it can affect your driving or cause you to doze off while driving, which can result in an accident.
Massage is not only good for the body, but it also provides significant benefits for the mind, as well as the inner self, which makes it a complete treatment.
During the massage, as the muscles are relaxed, it encourages you to slow down and live in the moment, which allows you to let go of any worries and become more in-tuned with yourself. In doing so, it makes it easier to process negative emotions because you feel more grounded, in control, and better able to focus, which helps improve your outlook,
So you feel more confident when facing stressful situations.
Circulation is also increased, which helps stimulate neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which help improve mood and mental alertness for overall greater happiness and well-being. Endorphins, which are the body's natural pain fighters that behave similarly to morphine, are also released, which helps reduce stress and combat pain for better sleep.
Meanwhile, simply keeping the muscles relaxed, such as with regular massage performed by a Massage Therapist for Insomnia, helps combat muscle stiffness and tension throughout the body, which makes it easier for your body to let go entirely, thus encouraging more profound sleep.
Insomnia can drain you of energy, which can not only affect your mood and keep you from reaching your potential in your everyday life, but in some cases, it can also take a toll on your health.
Research shows that a lack of sleep can also weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to certain illnesses, such as the common cold, the flu, and more. It also increases your risk of developing certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes, especially if you have a family history of these conditions.
So, if you have insomnia, don't just brush it off or turn to a strict regimen of medication, which has its share of side effects.
