Insomnia, a condition characterized by difficulty sleeping properly, is a common ailment experienced by celebrities and ordinary office workers alike. Common types of insomnia include sleep onset difficulty, which makes it difficult to fall asleep despite fatigue; sleep maintenance difficulty, which involves repeatedly waking up during the night; and early awakening difficulty, which involves waking up and being unable to return to sleep.

 

According to statistics from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, the number of patients who visited hospitals due to insomnia was 513,226 in 2017, and has been increasing by approximately 7-8% every year, exceeding 830,000 patients receiving treatment for insomnia last year.

Insomnia can lead to various health problems, including depression, anxiety, and cardiovascular disease, and therefore requires proper treatment. The American Psychiatric Association defines insomnia based on a patient's condition, such as when sleep problems occur three or more times a week and persist for three months or more.

Experts recommend treating insomnia by avoiding lying in bed except when sleeping, getting up and doing something else if you can't fall asleep within five minutes, and changing beds or bedrooms. However, they advise that if sleep problems interfere with daytime activities, medication, such as sleeping pills, may be necessary.

 

To prevent insomnia, wake up at the same time every day, avoid stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, and engage in relaxation exercises in the evening and a warm shower before bed. Furthermore, engaging in vigorous physical activity in the morning and avoiding stimulating activities in the evening, such as reading or muscle relaxation exercises, can help promote sleep.
