Think more may lose more sleep

A common misunderstanding of people with insomnia may also make their sleeplessness persist or even deteriorate. Some people have incredibly negative perceptions of sleep deprivation, thinking that it will affect their health and work performance. So they endeavour to avoid insomnia, even going as far as forcing themselves to fall asleep. Ironically, this kind of belief only causes anxiety and leads to greater difficulty in falling asleep. People with insomnia can try to ease off on this issue, accept that they are prone to it, and tell themselves that intermittent insomnia is not a big problem. It is best to change your negative thoughts. Instead of telling yourself that it is "bad", apply a positive attitude and tell yourself that "I may have insomnia tonight, but I will be able to  sleep fine tomorrow.” So that you can calm your mind and you may even fall asleep naturally.

Is it be a lifestyle problem?

People with insomnia should evaluate their daily lives. Is their sleeping environment too noisy or too bright? Too much pressure at work? Relationship stress? Irregular schedule? Long-term use of electronics? (Studies have shown that blue light from electronic products affects the body's biological clock and cause sleep problems2). If factors associated with daily-life cause insomnia and continue to persist, even with consumption of sleep medication, the effect of improving insomnia is limited. On the contrary, there is a chance that long-term drug use increases resistance. In the end, higher doses or stronger medication may be required, which may do more harm than good.
