Modern medicine holds that music can cause physiological changes, partly through nerve transmission. The auditory nerve fibers act like resonators, receiving different sounds and converting them into nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain. After brain analysis, the human body reacts differently.

A large number of experimental studies have proved that the center of music perception, integration and analysis is in the right hemisphere of the brain, responsible for non-verbal forms and psychological functions. Such as the perception of music melody, music memory and tone regulation, but also promote the activation of the right hemisphere of the brain.

Those beautiful and pleasant music, which accords with the physiological rhythm of the human body, act on the brain system through sensory pathway, can regulate the excitability of the whole body cells, thus play the role of restoring the balance of the body through nerve and humoral regulation.

The goal of psycho-behavioral therapy is not only to improve the bad psychology and behavioral factors of insomnia patients, but also to improve their confidence in self-control insomnia.

Some treatment measures not only have similar short-term efficacy with drugs, but also maintain longer than drugs. It is especially suitable for insomnia caused by over-worrying about adverse drug reactions, drug addiction and psychosocial factors.

If medication is not very serious, it is not recommended to use drugs. It is more recommended to use three poisons of drugs. Slow relief, more somatosensory products can be used. The treatment effect is very obvious. Drugs should also be clear that those medicines can be used. Here is to share some dry goods.

The main drugs for insomnia are benzodiazepines such as estazolam, alprazolam, diazepam, clonazepam, and non-benzodiazepines such as zolpidem, zopiclone, right zopiclone and zaleplone. In addition, there are some sedative antidepressants and antipsychotics, such as mirtazapine, trazodone, doxepin, quetiapine and olanzapine, which can promote sleep. However, patients should choose appropriate drugs under the guidance of doctors, and should not take drugs indiscriminately on their own.

Sedative and hypnotic drugs have certain addiction, if used improperly, it will lead to drug addiction. So how can we avoid sedative and hypnotic addiction? Mainly to grasp the basic principles of sedative and hypnotic drug use, namely:

Short-term: Short-term use of sedative and hypnotic drugs (continuous use of less than 4 weeks), there is generally no addiction. But if taken for a long time, addiction increases.

Small doses: The greater the dose of sedative hypnotics used, the higher the risk of addiction. Therefore, try to use the minimum dose to improve sleep, and try not to exceed the maximum dose of sedative hypnotics. If there is a decline in efficacy, it is recommended to switch to drugs with other mechanisms of action.

Intermittent: The risk of addiction caused by continuous use of sedative and hypnotic drugs is significantly higher than that caused by discontinuous use. Therefore, try not to take medicine every day. It is suggested that we try to sleep by ourselves first, but we can't sleep. Then we should consider using sedative and hypnotic drugs instead of taking them routinely before going to bed. If sedative and hypnotic drugs are really indispensable, it is recommended to use "weekend withdrawal" method, that is, in order to ensure sleep time and quality, sedative and hypnotic drugs should be taken on weekends; sedative and hypnotic drugs should not be used on weekends because there is no important schedule.

On demand: insomniacs can temporarily use sedative hypnotics to help them fall asleep if they occasionally suffer from insomnia, such as major events, jet lag and so on, so as not to deteriorate due to a single insomnia.

Although the above lists some principles for drug treatment, suggesting that patients should not worry excessively about taking sleeping pills which will lead to drug addiction, but do not take sleeping pills on their own. Because insomnia is often associated with anxiety, depression, somatic diseases and mental disorders, patients should choose appropriate treatment according to their actual conditions. Program. For patients with depression and insomnia, antidepressants with strong sedative effects such as mirtazapine and trazodone can be selected for treatment.
