What Is Insomnia?
In short, Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes a person has difficulty:
- Falling asleep
- Staying asleep
- Waking up too early
- Feeling rested after sleep
Based on the Sleep Foundation explanation, insomnia can be short term (acute) or long term (chronic) problem, and it usually affects both physical and mental health and the recovery.
In Singapore, this problem is commonly linked to:
- Work stress and long screen time
- Irregular sleep schedules
- Mental overload and anxiety
- Poor nervous system regulation
Common Causes of Insomnia Nowadays
1. Overactive Nervous System
Chronic stress keeps the body in “fight or flight” mode, making it hard to relax at night.
2. Overstimulation of Mental
Emails, social media, and constant notifications in your gadgets prevent the brain from calming down.
3. Poor Sleep Hygiene
Having late meals, caffeine, alcohol, and bad sleep patterns could disrupt body’s rhythm.
4. Lack of Deep Relaxation
Many people rest physically but never truly switch off neurologically.
This is where practices like Sound Bath and Yoga Nidra become powerful. Because Medical institutions increasingly recognize that non pharmacological approaches should be the first line of treatment for insomnia.
While some research, for example Cleveland Clinic notes that relaxation based therapies and guided meditation can significantly improve sleep quality without side effects.
