Sleep Disorder (Insomnia) Treatment in Jaipur

Introduction to Insomnia

Commonly known as disturbed sleep, Insomnia is a serious sleep disorder characterized by trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. A person suffering from Insomnia is not able to sleep normally even if ideal conditions are presented to him (soft bed, quiet surroundings, etc). Generally, insomnia troubles involve either not being able to fall asleep, lying awake and overthinking about not being able to fall asleep or getting abnormal and interrupted sleep, which does not provide the desired refreshment. Insomnia may also increase the chances of other medical problems like high blood pressure and coronary heart disease in the affected individuals.
People of all age groups (children, teens, adult men and women) and all medical backgrounds are prone to insomniac troubles. According to a statistic, as many as 30% to 50% of adults face short-term Insomnia at some point in their lives. At the same time, an estimated 10% of the adult population experiences chronic insomnia disorder.

Symptoms and Causes of Insomnia

Some commonly displayed symptoms of sleep disorder include:

  • Abruptly waking up and not being able to get back to sleep
  • Regular interrupted and broken sleep patterns that don't provide refreshment or energize the individual
  • Increased behavioural problems like fatigue, irritability and mood swings.
  • Cognitive problems include difficulty concentrating and reduced memory recall ability.

Frequent sleep disturbances can be caused by a variety of present and past-related factors. Some key problems that might lead to Insomnia in the future are:

  • Present stressors (daily life problems, anxiety about an event or something as simple as jetlag) compromise an individual's ability to function effectively and further lead to problems like Insomnia.
  • Family history of Insomnia or other mental health issues
  • Additional mental health problems like anxiety and depression can present themselves as Insomnia in the affected individual.
  • In some cases, complications of diseases like diabetes and heart disease can also lead to troubles like Insomnia.

Types and Forms of Insomnia

Sleep disorder is not just a single medical problem. It manifests itself through symptoms varying in intensity and duration in the patients. On the basis of these differentiators, Insomnia can generally be classified into four types:

Acute Insomnia
It refers to short-term difficulties in sleeping that generally last from a few days to a few weeks. Acute Insomnia is, in most cases, caused by the presence of a stressor in the individual's life and is resolved as soon as the stressor goes away.

Chronic Insomnia
Chronic Insomnia is a more serious condition. In this case, the individual experiences sleeping troubles for a longer period of time (generally at least 3 days a week for 3 months or more). Chronic Insomnia is generally not caused by temporary disturbance in the person's life but is the result of some underlying issue in his/her medical profile.

Onset Insomnia
As the name suggests, this form of Insomnia is onset by any particular trigger in the individual's immediate environment. The trigger can be anything ranging from excess caffeine intake before bed to anything else in the surroundings that may have triggered their mental health conditions.
This kind of Insomnia is, more often than not, a by-product of other mental health issues.

Maintenance Insomnia
This type of Insomnia pertains to trouble remaining asleep for normal durations after falling asleep or being able to maintain a steady sleep routine every day. This problem can worsen in situations where a person lies awake thinking about not being able to sleep.

How to Treat Insomnia?

To get rid of your disturbed sleep patterns properly and effectively, a thorough diagnosis of the patient is a must. Such diagnosis reveals any underlying health issue that might be the root cause of Insomnia. Without treating and alleviating this issue, the person can't be freed of their Insomnia. A person should even be encouraged to keep a sleep diary tracking the time when he does/doesn't go to sleep and wakes up to determine the severity of the problem.
Once this diagnosis has been made, targeted treatments and therapies for Insomnia can be applied to the person. Some of the popular treatments for Insomnia are:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is often promoted as the first-line therapy for Insomnia by psychologists. 
  • The treatment mainly involves three components:
    • Finding a go-to activity that promotes relaxation and sleep
    • Restricting then gradually increasing the duration of sleep
    • Increasing exposure to bright natural light throughout the day
Physiotherapy
  • Physiotherapy is aimed at relieving the physical stress and tension in the body and muscles that drive Insomnia. This provides physical comfort that promotes healthy and undisturbed sleep.
  • This is achieved by employing various techniques, like matrix rhythm therapy, low-level laser therapy, etc, to reduce physical distress.
  • Jaipur Rehab, under the guidance of Dr. Himanshu Mathur, is committed to solving all such insomniac troubles with its highly innovative and effective range of physical therapies.
Medications
  • Depending on the severity of the issue and the effectiveness of prior treatments, a medical professional may deem it fit to prescribe medications for Insomnia
  • eszopiclone, zolpidem, triazolam and melatonin are the most commonly prescribed medications that help reduce the time taken to fall asleep in patients
