I have been insomnia for three months. I have hardly slept a day since the beginning of school. Go to sleep at 2 or 3 am every day, wake up at 6 or 7 am, and wake up several times in the middle of the night. I'm falling apart. ......
"
Xu Hao, a senior three student, has been suffering from insomnia recently.
He is increasingly afraid of the pain caused by insomnia in the last three months.
In order to try to make himself fall asleep quickly, Xu Hao said that he used many methods: listening to light music while sleeping and drinking hot milk before going to bed. All available methods were used, but to no avail.
"I know that I can't sleep, and I sleep very early every day. Before going to bed, I told myself that I must fall asleep early, but I couldn't sleep at all. "
"The more I can't sleep, the more anxious I am. I didn't sleep in the middle of the night several times, so I turned on my cell phone. At first glance, it's 1 2 o'clock, but I'm still awake. The more worried I am, the harder it is to fall asleep.
Ah, it was very painful and tiring. I was in a daze all day the next day, and I couldn't lift my spirits. When talking about my recent situation, Xu Hao complained.
Xu Hao also revealed that he is very busy at this stage, busy looking for a job, busy writing papers, busy doing research, and busy taking care of his studies this semester. He felt that he had piled up too many things at once, which made him very nervous and anxious.
When I asked him when he began to suffer from insomnia, Xu Hao replied:
Maybe an interview I attended before was too concerned and I was too sad to be eliminated.
Xu Hao said that he had just attended an important interview for his future, but he failed. I couldn't sleep for a few days after I came back, and I had great frustration and no confidence for a while.
There are too many trivial things at work and school, and there is no good balance, which makes him breathless at once.
"Four people in the bedroom, three people are snoring, how to sleep? They sleep later than me every day, but I haven't heard that they have insomnia. "
Xu Hao thinks that his roommate snores in the middle of the night, which makes him more insomnia.
I am tortured every day, and I can do something during the day, but at night, I feel controlled by death.
Hey, you don't have insomnia. You don't understand.
When I wanted to ask him some details, Xu Hao was obviously a little impatient, but from the conversation, it was obvious that insomnia made him irritable and unstable.
Xu Hao said that he saw a doctor last week, and the doctor told him to take a small amount of sleeping pills to relieve insomnia. But he was afraid of taking medicine to relieve insomnia, but he was forced to do so.
According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, about one third of the people in the world have sleep problems. Sleep problems bring a series of negative effects to people's body and mind.
On Wikipedia, insomnia is defined as:
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5 for short), insomnia has the following diagnostic criteria:
DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria for Insomnia
1. Difficult to sleep
Get up too early, it's hard to fall asleep again.
There will be insomnia at least three nights every seven days.
Insomnia has existed for at least three months.
Even if I have a chance to sleep, I still have insomnia.
6. Sleep is difficult to maintain, and you often wake up suddenly during sleep, or it is difficult to fall asleep once you wake up.
......
Mild insomnia will make people's immunity and memory decline, headache and dizziness, make people anxious and easily lose their temper, thus affecting their normal work, study and life.
Severe lack of sleep will lead to an increase in blood cholesterol and increase the incidence of heart disease;
In addition, lack of sleep or sleep disorder will affect the normal division of cells, and will also cause mutations in cancer cells, increasing the probability of cancer.
In March this year, according to the report "20 17 China Adolescent Sleep White Paper" jointly released by Tencent and China Sleep Research Association, it shows that:
After a survey of 44308 users, the gender distribution of insomnia group is 64% for men and 36% for women, and the insomnia situation of boys is much higher than that of women.
In addition, the data shows that 90% people will play mobile phones, swipe Weibo, swipe WeChat and play games before going to bed, and never leave their electronic products before going to bed.
Moreover, more than 60% people work and sleep in disorder, only 3.4% people work and sleep normally, and more than 40% people have become serious patients with "late sleep procrastination".
On February 5, 65438, based on the consumption data of Alibaba's retail platform, Ali Health jointly released the "Report on Overcoming Insomnia Fun Data" from the perspective of e-commerce.
The data shows that in the age distribution of users searching for the word "insomnia", 18-25-year-old post-90 s people account for nearly 40% of the total population, defeating the post-70 s and post-80 s with overwhelming "advantage".
Previously, according to "Save Hair Loss" released by Ali Health in September! In the interesting white paper report, the post-80s generation accounted for 38.5%, and the post-90s generation ranked second with 36. 1%.
Undoubtedly, the post-90s generation has become the first main group of insomnia.
At the same time, young users aged 18-35 account for nearly 80%, that is, there are 8 young people in 10 insomnia group.
In addition, the data also shows that OTC/ tranquilizing mind, pillow, foot patch, invigorating spleen and kidney, and head massage machine have become the top five commodities searched by insomnia patients on Taobao.
Young people have bought products that help sleep and soothe the nerves to "save insomnia".
Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing rank among the top three insomnia cities in China, followed by Shenzhen and Hangzhou, followed by Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing and Suzhou. The above 10 cities have concentrated the largest number of insomnia people in China.
If you go to Weibo to search for the keyword "insomnia", you will find that hundreds of articles publish their insomnia trends every day, and 90% of them are young people.
Insomnia can lead to depression, and depression will aggravate the degree of insomnia. Insomnia is directly related to depression.
According to the medical explanation, "insomnia and depression" are mainly manifested as:
An article previously published in the famous American psychology magazine "Occupational Psychology: Research and Practice" said
"In four-year universities, 6% of undergraduates and 4% of postgraduates said that they had" really considered suicide "in the past year, and half of them had never revealed this idea to anyone. According to statistics, about 1 100 undergraduates commit suicide every year in American universities. "
Besides, according to the survey of American Psychological Association, about one third of college students have experienced depression in the past year.
Shocking data show that American college students are fighting depression at a record speed.
Many patients with depression are top students, because they have been three good students since childhood, grew up under the aura and rarely experienced failure.
However, when they entered the university, they found that "there are people outside, there are days behind", surrounded by top students, and all kinds of failures and setbacks continue.
And the better people are, the stronger their self-esteem. Being single-minded and superior, pursuing perfection, is virtually more stressful than ordinary people.
How can such a person not be depressed? How can it not be painful?
So there is a gap, a sense of frustration, and frustration continues to accumulate. At the same time, with the pressure exerted on myself, I slowly suffered from depression, which aggravated the degree of insomnia.
In China, every year, college students who choose to commit suicide because of insomnia, depression, academic pressure and employment pressure are staged in universities all over the country (for example, a university in Beijing jumps off a building almost every year).
Postgraduates and doctoral students have a high probability of committing suicide, because they face greater academic pressure and work pressure than undergraduates.
Previously, many graduate students broke the news online, looking for a job near graduation, but they were delayed by the tutor's project, and even some tutors threatened students not to complete the project, which made them feel anxious and painful.
Faced with these psychological crises of college students and their serious consequences, most schools and governments choose to block the news and shirk their responsibilities.
Too much silence, too little homework, too much concern for reputation and too little consideration for students' growth.
The social mission that universities should undertake is to cultivate outstanding social talents, but now they are cultivating exquisite egoists, and the pursuit of humanistic spirit and humanistic care for students are gradually flowing.
Nowadays, while enjoying the convenience brought by scientific and technological progress, the new generation of post-90s are immersed in the embarrassing situation of the world of electronic products, and their bodies are wantonly squandered, leading to serious mental health problems.
On the other hand, the post-90 s generation is a special group, a group that seems to be in full bloom and infinite youth, but in fact it is under great pressure.
? Academic pressure, emotional frustration, family changes, graduation confusion, work pressure. ........
They are more likely to have psychological contrast under multiple pressures.
This leads to depression, inferiority, loneliness, negativity, impatience, paranoia, narrowness, anxiety and other psychological diseases.
When the ideal conflicts with reality, they are prone to self-denial and self-doubt, thus forming a world-weary mentality.
All kinds of tragic events are just a microcosm of the psychological problems of the post-90 s generation. In reality, bloody facts are constantly warning us to pay attention to the mental health of the post-90 s.
As for the post-90s generation itself, first of all, we need to look at ourselves, pay attention to mental health problems, and carry out "self-salvation for insomnia".
Go to bed early and get up early, cherish yourself and laugh your teeth off.
Post-90s anxiety, disappointment, depression and insomnia.
Finally, may we stay away from insomnia and depression, love life and spend the rest of our lives to make the world a better place.
