Taking A Look At Chicago Insomnia Intervention

By Lyndon Zerna


Insomnia is defined as sleep problems in an individual. This term was created in the sixteenth century and strictly speaking means sleep deprivation. There are various classifications of sleeplessness, according to the seriousness or duration of this disorder. It can be distinguished as transient or acute (lasting less than 4 weeks) and long-term or chronic (over 3 - 6 months). Both of the types necessitate Chicago insomnia intervention measures.

Insomnia may be a symptom of various ailments. The acute form can have very different reasons which include sadness, anxiety, jet lag, the expectation of not being able to sleep or stress. The reason for the condition is the actual disease in which it's merely a symptom thereof.

The most common causes include stress, anxiety syndromes, conditions of agitation and digestive problems. Depressive syndromes often trigger episodes but are sometimes consequential. The aging process leads to lighter sleep patterns for shorter periods, with a life quite normal during the daytime (without drowsiness or fatigue). In these cases, it is unnecessary to artificially prolong sleep time.

Any disease can trigger sleep disorder: chronic pain, fever, shortness of breath. Some sleeplessness issues are directly the result of a poor diet, especially excessive or late caffeine intake. They may be the result of medication. H1 antihistamines (doxylamine, diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine) used against allergies are sometimes prescribed against the condition because of their sedative properties.

Caffeine is a stimulant associated with the nervous system and its use should be discontinued 4-6 hours before bedtime (within that time it remains in the blood). In some susceptible people, traces of this substance apparently continue to cause the condition, anxiety, restlessness, nervousness. In standard doses, such as 100 mg per day, the equivalent of a cup of coffee produces physical and psychological dependence.

Nicotine is well known for its effect on the ability to sleep, and must therefore be avoided at night time. Behavioral therapies help restore a satisfactory sleep-wake rhythm, with a reduction in 50% of sleep time and duration of awakenings. Comparative tests have enabled retainment of better efficacy compared to placebo.
