Did you sleep well last night?If the answer is"No",you're in good company.Insomnia(注:insomnian.失眠,失眠症)is the most common sleep disorder in the UK,with up to a third of the population affected at some stage of their lives.

Insomnia doesn't just mean inability to drop off(注:drop off[口]睡着,入睡)to sleep.Other symptoms are:waking early and not getting back to sleep,constantly interrupted short periods of sleep,or hours of wakefulness(注:wakefulnessn.失眠,无法入睡).You may feel permanently tired,anxious or irritable,and your memory and ability to concentrate may be adversely(注:adverselyadv.不利地,有害地)affected.

When to visit a doctor

If insomnia is persistent,visit your doctor.Sleeping pills are not the only treatment,although they may be offered as a short-term solution.If you're suffering from emotional distress(注:distressn.忧虑,苦恼),you may be advised to see a counselor.

Self-help

First,check that your bedroom isn't too hot or cold,noisy or stuffy(注:stuffyadj.不通气的,缺乏新鲜空气的).Keep it dark,well-ventilated(注:welt-ventilatedadj.通风好的)and quiet.

Second,check your lifestyle:

Don't eat rich,heavy meals after 7 pm.

Avoid caffeinated(注:caffeinatedadj.含咖啡因的)drinks,such as tea,coffee,cola and chocolate,four hours before bed.Opt for(注:opt for 选择)decaffeinated coffee,camomile (注:camomilen.[植]黄春菊)tea,or warm milk.Cutting down on your liquid intake before bedtime helps avoid night-time toilet visits.

Alcohol can also be stimulating,so if you're having a night-cap,drink it two hours before bed.

Smoking stimulates adrenalin(注:adrenalinn.[生化]肾上腺素)production,so cut down or give up.Research shows heavy smokers take longer to fall asleep,wake up more during the night and sleep more lightly.

Synchronise(注:synchronisevt.使在时间上一致)your body clock by getting up and going to bed at the same time every day.Avoid daytime naps.

Develop a relaxing bedtime routine.Read or listen to music,then take a warm bath,adding 4~6 drops of lavender(注:lavendern.熏衣草)oil.Research has shown this scent may be as

effective as sleeping pills.

If you really can't sleep,try some bread,rice or milk.

Go for a daily walk.Natural light helps to regulate your biological clock,so exercise outdoors if you can.

Forget the worries of the day.Write down any worries,thoughts or questions before bed.Next,come up with(注:come up with 找到(答案、解决办法等))solutions.With these written down,you'11 have less to think about and sleep should be easier.

昨天你睡得好吗?如果回答是“没有睡好”,别发愁,很多人也有同样的苦恼。英国人患失眠症极为普遍,约有1/3的人在他们一生中的某个阶段都失眠过。

失眠不仅仅意味着无法入睡,失眠还有其他症状:早醒后无法再入睡,睡觉的时间断断续续,或一连数小时无法入睡。你可能总是感到疲劳、焦虑或易怒;你的记忆力和集中注意力都可能受到不良影响。

何时看医生

如果失眠症状持续不断,你应去求医。安眠药丸虽有短期疗效但不是惟一的疗法。如果你患忧郁症,你应当求助心理医生。

自我疗法

第一:看一看你的卧室是否太暖或太冷?太吵?通风不好?保持卧室光线偏暗,通风良好,保持室内安静。

第二:检查你的生活方式:

晚上7点之后不要进食太多,或吃过于油腻的食物。

睡觉前4小时别喝含有咖啡因的饮料,如茶、咖啡、可乐及巧克力。选择不含咖啡因的咖啡、黄春菊花茶或者热牛奶。睡觉前少喝饮料能减少夜间上厕所的次数。

含酒精的饮料是很刺激的,所以如果你有睡觉前喝酒的习惯,那么最好提前两小时喝。

吸烟刺激肾上腺素的产生,所以要少吸或不吸。研究表明:烟瘾大的人需要更长的时间才能入睡,睡觉时醒来次数多,并且睡得不沉。

调整好你的生物钟,每天按固定时间睡觉和起床,不要午休。

养成睡前放松的习惯,看看书报或听听音乐,然后洗个澡,在热水中加入4~6滴熏衣草油。研究表明:这种香味同安眠药一样有效。

如果你确实不能入睡,吃点面包、米饭或喝点牛奶。

每天散步。自然光有助于调节你的生物钟,所以如果可能的话,到户外去运动。

忘掉一天的烦恼事。上床之前,把烦恼事、思绪或问题写下来。下一步,想出解决的办法来。把这些写下来之后,你可以少想事了。这样你入睡就更容易了。
