Our advice and expert opinions
Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder. While the majority of insomnia is linked to relatively benign problems, sleep disorders can sometimes be the sign of an illness. When sleep disorders persist, they have negative repercussions on physical and mental health. In such cases, don't hesitate to consult a doctor.
When do we talk about insomnia?
One French person in three claims to suffer from insomnia. But only those who feel the consequences of sleep deprivation, such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability or memory problems, really suffer. Anyone who feels great the day after a short night's sleep is probably an unknowing short sleeper.Chronic insomniaaffects almost 20% of the French population. It is severe in 6 to 9% of cases. There are several types of insomnia:
-Insomnia associated with falling asleep: this is the most common. The person goes to bed at a usual time, and one or two hours later, is still unable to fall asleep.
-Mid-night insomnia: the person wakes up in the middle of the night, one or more times, and has difficulty getting back to sleep.
-Early-morning insomnia: the person falls asleep without any problems, but wakes up at around 4 or 5 a.m., unable to get back to sleep.
-Total insomnia: this type of insomnia is much rarer. The person stays awake all night.
Some people also have an inversion of their sleep rhythm: they sleep during the day, but not at night.
What causes sleep disorders?
Anxiety and stress are the main causes of poor sleep, as are environmental factors (noise, moving house, etc.). Sometimes, other problems can cause sleep disorders, such as snoring, pain, poor bedding, excess caffeine or alcohol.
While the vast majority of insomnia is linked to relatively benign psychological disturbances, sleep disorders can be a signal of physical illness. They can be a warning of diabetes, for example, hyperthyroidism, infectious disease, cardiovascular problems, neurological disorders or osteoarthritis. It is therefore necessary to look for these illnesses when sleep is disturbed.
Certain medications, such as corticosteroids or decongestants, as well as nicotine, can be responsible for insomnia. Don't forget to tell us about your current treatments. Finally, insomnia may be one of the symptoms of another psychological illness. Mid- and late-night insomnia, for example, are characteristic of depression. Finally, sleep-wake rhythm disorders can occur in people who are subject to jet lag, or who work night shifts (shift workers, nursing staff).
