Can't sleep? Risking a total system breakdown
Causes of insomnia from a disrupted biological clock, abnormalities in Melatonin and Cortisol hormones, and the correct way to fix insomnia without relying on medication forever.
Insomnia
is a condition or symptom occurring alongside daily life events that results in physical and mental abnormalities, leading to insufficient sleep and waking up unrefreshed. If you cannot sleep for more than 1 week, it may affect work performance and relationships with others, so you should consult a doctor for timely treatment.
Get to know the "Biological Clock," your invisible personal manager
The Biological Clock (Biological Clock) is not superstition, but a Nobel Prize-winning scientific mechanism.
Our bodies function in sync with sunlight through 2 main hormones:
1. Morning (Cortisol): Wakes you up to be alert, ready for stress, and heavy work.
2. Evening (Melatonin): When the light fades, the body secretes this substance to say, "it is time to rest."
But modern behaviors, including blue light from mobile phones (Blue Light), night shift work, or accumulated stress, cause this cycle to break! The body becomes confused between day and night, leading to chronic insomnia.
More dangerous than you think! When "Insomnia" becomes a "Chronic Disease"
Sleep deprivation is like an engine running 24 hours without rest, causing severe negative effects, especially in working-age people and the elderly.
1. Risk of NCDs: Diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
2. Dementia: The brain cannot clear waste, risking memory loss.
3. Lowered immunity: Getting sick easily and recovering slowly.
4. Easily obese: Hunger hormones malfunction, so weight increases even when eating little.
