What are the factors that affect sleep? Pay attention to these things

Good sleep quality is very important for people's rest, and lack of sleep also has an impact on people's lives. There are many factors that affect sleep quality, which may be related to emotional and dietary stimulation. When your sleep quality is poor, you must pay attention to lifestyle changes.

1. Biological clock:

Scientists have done quite a lot of research and believe that everyone's daily routine is controlled by the biological clock. Even if a person is locked in a room without sunlight, without knowing the morning and evening, and without a clock, that person will still want to sleep at a certain time and get up at a certain time. This is the function of the biological clock. The cause of insomnia is often due to the disorder of biological clock; and some inappropriate behaviors to compensate for insomnia at night (such as taking naps during the day) will make the biological clock more disordered, making insomnia increasingly difficult to treat. In addition, some people suffer from insomnia due to environmental factors, which causes their sleep time to conflict with their biological clock.

2. The influence of drugs:

There are many medications that can affect sleep. It is generally known that some cold medicine ingredients can make people drowsy (including antihistamines); drinking a little alcohol can also make people want to sleep; while drinking tea, coffee, etc. (containing caffeine) can have a refreshing effect. Others include: sleeping pills can help you fall asleep; some psychiatric drugs have sedative and hypnotic effects; some antihypertensive drugs and asthma drugs can interfere with sleep.

3. Mental factors:

Some scholars believe that people with certain personalities are more likely to suffer from insomnia, such as those who are more likely to be nervous, anxious, perfectionist, and impatient, which are generally referred to as neurotic people. They are more sensitive to environmental stimuli and react more strongly to stimuli, making it difficult for them to relax mentally, which causes insomnia. Sleep is a very sensitive activity. As long as there are some worries or people are emotionally excited, it is easy to cause insomnia. Many people's insomnia starts with some stressful events.

4. Environmental factors:

An environment that is too noisy, too bright, too hot or too cold, too humid, or unfamiliar can all lead to poor sleep. When the external environment can be improved, the insomnia problem will naturally improve.

5. Physical factors:

Some people are born with a lower sleep requirement, and perhaps only three or four hours of sleep a day is enough; others must sleep ten hours a night. The average sleep time for most people is about seven to eight hours.
