What are the symptoms of insomnia? Four signs of insomnia

Insomnia is very common clinically, and has a great impact on people's lives and mental state. Excessive stress is a factor that causes insomnia, and the symptoms of insomnia are also very obvious. In addition to symptoms of poor sleep quality, patients may also have difficulty falling asleep.

1. Light sleep and easy dreaming:

The patient feels that he or she has not slept soundly and is half asleep all night long. He or she dreams as soon as he or she closes his or her eyes and wakes up at the slightest movement. Some wake up early and find it even harder to fall asleep again after waking up, so they have to stay awake until dawn. Some insomnia patients often have nightmares, wake up from terrifying and thrilling dreams, break out in cold sweats, feel nervous and have palpitations, look pale, and never dare to fall asleep again.

2. Difficulty falling asleep:

The main symptoms of this type of insomnia are tossing and turning, and the time to fall asleep is postponed 1-3 hours compared to the past. Patients say that they are very sleepy and want to sleep, but they just can't fall asleep when lying in bed. They toss and turn and think about all kinds of things, and their minds cannot calm down. Their sleep time is significantly reduced. The most obvious symptom of light sleep is difficulty falling asleep. Based on the principle of early treatment, patients should pay full attention to this symptom, obtain professional help in time, and avoid the harm of insomnia.

3. Poor sleep quality:

Although many patients can fall asleep, they feel that sleep cannot relieve fatigue and they still feel tired after waking up. These are also symptoms of insomnia. Many factors can lead to poor sleep quality, but the symptoms caused by insomnia are very different. If such symptoms occur, they must be identified in time and the best treatment period should not be missed. Some patients feel sleepy, drowsy and listless during the day but are excited and unable to sleep at night. They take naps while studying, attending meetings or in classes, or fall asleep while lying on the sofa while watching TV. But they become energetic again as soon as they lie down on the bed and cannot fall asleep no matter what.

4. Early awakening insomnia

Patients wake up very early in the morning and have difficulty falling asleep again. They toss and turn in bed, get up and walk around, or wait until dawn. This type of insomnia is called "early awakening insomnia" or "terminal insomnia."
