| ==Overview== | | ==[[Insomnia overview|Overview]]== |
| '''Insomnia''' is a [[sleep disorder]] characterized by an inability to [[sleep]] and/or inability to remain asleep for a reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. Both organic and nonorganic insomnia constitute a [[sleep disorder]].<ref>http://www3.who.int/icd/currentversion/fr-icd.htm?gf50.htm+f510 </ref><ref>http://www3.who.int/icd/currentversion/fr-icd.htm?gg40.htm+g47 </ref>

| ==Classification==
| |
| ===Types of insomnia===
| |
| Three types of insomnia exist: transient, acute, and chronic
| |
| #'''Transient insomnia''' lasts from one night to a few weeks. Most people occasionally suffer from transient insomnia due to such causes as [[jet lag]] or short-term anxiety. If this form of insomnia continues to occur from time to time, the insomnia is classified as intermittent.
| |
| #'''[[Acute (medical)|Acute]] insomnia''' is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of between three weeks to six months.
| |
| #'''[[chronic (medicine)|Chronic]] insomnia''' is regarded as the most serious; persists almost nightly for at least a month.
| |
| | |
| ===Patterns of Insomnia===
| |
| The pattern of insomnia often is related to the etiology.[http://www.emedicine.com/MED/topic609.htm]
| |
| # Initial insomnia - difficulty falling asleep at the beginning of the night, often associated with [[anxiety disorder]]s.
| |
| # Middle insomnia - waking during the middle of the night, difficulty maintaining sleep. Often associated with pain syndromes or medical illness.
| |
| # Terminal (or late) insomnia - early morning waking. Characteristic of [[Clinical depression]].

|
| Insomnia also sometimes occurs for no apparent reason.<ref>http://www.paralumun.com/sleeplessness.htm</ref>
| |
| An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Finding the underlying cause of insomnia is usually necessary to cure it. Insomnia can be common after the loss of a loved one, even months or a year after the death, if they are not grieving correctly (pretending they are over it when they are not).

| | |
| ===Insomnia versus poor sleep quality===
| |
| Poor sleep quality can occur as a result of sleep apnea or [[major depression]]. Poor sleep quality is caused by the individual not reaching stage 4 or delta sleep which has restorative properties. There are, however, people who are unable to achieve stage 4 sleep due to brain damage who still lead perfectly normal lives.
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Sleep apnea]]''' is a condition that occurs when a sleeping person's breathing is interrupted, thus interrupting the normal sleep cycle. With the obstructive form of the condition, some part of the sleeper's respiratory tract loses muscle tone and partially collapses. People with obstructive sleep apnea often do not remember awakening or having difficulty breathing, but they complain of excessive sleepiness during the day. Central sleep apnea interrupts the normal breathing stimulus of the [[central nervous system]], and the individual must actually wake up to resume breathing. This form of apnea is often related to a cerebral vascular condition, congestive heart failure, and premature aging.
| |
| | |
| Major depression leads to alterations in the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary causing excessive release of cortisol which can lead to poor sleep quality.
| |
| | |
| Nocturnal polyuria or excessive nighttime urination can be very disturbing to sleep.<ref>{{cite book | coauthors = Adler and Thorpy | title = Sleep issues in Parkinson’s disease | url = http://www.neurology.org/cgi/content/full/64/12_suppl_3/S12 | accessyear = 2007 | accessmonth = June | year = 2005 | publisher = Neurology | language = English | pages = 64; S12-20 }}</ref> Nocturnal polyuria can be nephrogenic (related to kidney disease) or it may be due to prostate enlargement or hormonal influences. Deficiencies in vasopressin, which is either caused by a pituitary problem or by insensitivity of the kidney to the effects of vasopressin, can lead to nocturnal polyuria. Excessive thirst or the use of diuretics can also cause these symptoms.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Treatment== | | ==Treatment== |
| In many cases, insomnia is caused by another disease or psychological problem. In this case, medical or psychological help may be useful.

|
| |
|
| ===Medications=== | | ==Case Studies== |
| Many insomniacs rely on [[sleeping tablet]]s and other [[sedative]]s to get rest. All sedative drugs have the potential of causing psychological dependence where the individual cannot psychologically accept that they can sleep without drugs. Certain classes of sedatives such as [[benzodiazepine]]s and newer [[nonbenzodiazepine]] drugs can also cause physical dependence which manifests in withdrawal symptoms if the drug is not carefully titrated down.
| | [[Insomnia case study one|Case #1]] |
|
| |
|
| In comparing the options, a [[systematic review]] found that [[benzodiazepine]]s and [[nonbenzodiazepine]]s have similar efficacy which was [[statistical_significance | insignificantly]] more than for [[antidepressant]]s.<ref name="pmid17619935">Buscemi N, Vandermeer B, Friesen C, Bialy L, Tubman M, Ospina M, Klassen TP, Witmans M. The efficacy and safety of drug treatments for chronic insomnia in adults: a meta-analysis of RCTs. J Gen Intern Med. 2007 Sep;22(9):1335-50. Epub 2007 Jul 10. PMID 17619935</ref> Benzodiazepines had an [[statistical_significance | insignificant]] tendency for more [[adverse drug reaction]]s.<ref name="pmid17619935"/>
| | ==See also== |
| | |
| ====Benzodiazepines====
| |
| {{main|Benzodiazepine}}
| |
| The most commonly used class of hypnotics prescribed for insomnia are the [[benzodiazepine]]s. [[Benzodiazepine]]s bind unselectively to the [[GABAA receptor|GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor]].<ref name="pmid17619935"/> This includes drugs such as [[temazepam]], [[diazepam]], [[lorazepam]], [[flurazepam]], [[nitrazepam]] and [[midazolam]]. These medications can be addictive, especially after taking them over long periods of time.
| |
| | |
| ====Non-benzodiazepines====
| |
| {{main|Nonbenzodiazepine}}
| |
| [[Nonbenzodiazepine]] prescription drugs, including the [[nonbenzodiazepine]]s [[zolpidem]](Stilnoct) and [[zopiclone]](Imovane), are more selective for the [[GABAA receptor|GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor]]<ref name="pmid17619935"/> and may have a cleaner side effect profile than the older benzodiazepines; however, there are controversies over whether these non-benzodiazepine drugs are superior to benzodiazepines. These drugs appear to cause both [[Addiction#Psychological addiction|psychological dependence]] and [[physical dependence]], and can also cause the same memory and cognitive disturbances as the benzodiazepines along with morning sedation.
| |
| | |
| ====Antidepressants====
| |
| {{main|Antidepressants}}
| |
| Some [[antidepressant]]s such as [[mirtazapine]], [[trazodone]] and [[doxepin]] have a sedative effect, and are prescribed [[off label]] to treat insomnia. The major drawback of these drugs is that they have [[antihistaminergic]], [[anticholinergic]] and [[antiadrenergic]] properties which can lead to many side effects. Some also alter sleep architecture.
| |
| | |
| ====Melatonin====
| |
| [[Melatonin]] has proved effective for some insomniacs in regulating the sleep/waking cycle, but lacks definitive data regarding efficacy in the treatment of insomnia. Melatonin agonists, including Ramelteon ([[Rozerem]]), seem to lack the potential for abuse and dependence. This class of drugs has a relatively mild side effect profile and lower likelihood of causing morning sedation.
| |
| | |
| ====Antihistamines====
| |
| The [[antihistamine]] [[diphenhydramine]] is widely used in nonprescription sleep aids, with a 50 mg recommended dose mandated by the FDA. In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other countries, a 50 to 100 mg recommended dose is permitted. While it is available over the counter, the effectiveness of these agents may decrease over time and the incidence of next-day sedation is higher than for most of the newer prescription drugs. Dependence does not seem to be an issue with this class of drugs.
| |
| | |
| ====Atypical antipsychotics====
| |
| Low doses of certain [[atypical antipsychotics]] such as [[quetiapine]] (Seroquel) are also prescribed for their sedative effect but the danger of neurological and cognitive side effects make these drugs a poor choice to treat insomnia.
| |
| | |
| ===Other substances===
| |
| Some insomniacs use [[herb]]s such as [[valerian plant|valerian]], [[chamomile]], [[lavender]], [[hops]], and [[passion-flower]]. Valerian has undergone multiple studies and appears to be modestly effective.<ref name="pmid10761819">{{cite journal |author=Donath F, Quispe S, Diefenbach K, Maurer A, Fietze I, Roots I |title=Critical evaluation of the effect of valerian extract on sleep structure and sleep quality |journal=Pharmacopsychiatry |volume=33 |issue=2 |pages=47-53 |year=2000 |pmid=10761819 |doi=}}</ref><ref name="pmid16335333">{{cite journal |author=Morin CM, Koetter U, Bastien C, Ware JC, Wooten V |title=Valerian-hops combination and diphenhydramine for treating insomnia: a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial |journal=Sleep |volume=28 |issue=11 |pages=1465-71 |year=2005 |pmid=16335333 |doi=}}</ref><ref name="pmid17561634">{{cite journal |author=Meolie AL, Rosen C, Kristo D, ''et al'' |title=Oral nonprescription treatment for insomnia: an evaluation of products with limited evidence |journal=Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=173-87 |year=2005 |pmid=17561634 |doi=}}</ref> [[Cannabis]] has also been suggested as a very effective treatment for insomnia. <ref>[http://www.cannabis.net/medical-marijuana/pot-docs.html http://www.cannabis.net/medical-marijuana/pot-docs.html ]</ref>

| | |
| [[Alcohol]] may have sedative properties, but the [[Rapid eye movement sleep|REM sleep]] suppressing effects of the drug prevent restful, quality sleep. Middle-of-the-night awakenings due to [[polyuria]] or other effects from alcohol consumption are common, and hangovers can also lead to morning grogginess.
| |
| | |
| Insomnia may be a symptom of [[magnesium deficiency (medicine)|magnesium deficiency]], or lower [[magnesium]] levels. A healthy diet containing [[magnesium]], can help to improve sleep in individuals without an adequate intake of [[magnesium]].<ref name="pmid9703590">{{cite journal |author=Hornyak M, Voderholzer U, Hohagen F, Berger M, Riemann D |title=Magnesium therapy for periodic leg movements-related insomnia and restless legs syndrome: an open pilot study |journal=Sleep |volume=21 |issue=5 |pages=501-5 |year=1998 |pmid=9703590 |doi=}}</ref>

| Recent research has shown that [[Cognitive therapy|cognitive behavior therapy]] can be more effective than medication in controlling insomnia [http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/164/17/1888]. In this therapy, patients are taught improved sleep habits and relieved of counter-productive assumptions about sleep.<ref>{{cite journal

| Some traditional remedies for insomnia have included drinking warm milk before bedtime, taking a warm bath in the evening; exercising vigorously for half an hour in the afternoon, eating a large lunch and then having only a light evening meal at least three hours before bed, avoiding mentally stimulating activities in the evening hours, and making sure to get up early in the morning and to retire to bed at a reasonable hour.

| Using [[aromatherapy]], including jasmine oil, [[lavender oil]], [[Mahabhringaraj]] and other relaxing [[essential oil]]s, may also help induce a state of restfulness. [[Horlicks]] is marketed as a sleeping aid.

| Many believe that listening to slow paced music will help insomniacs fall asleep. <ref name="pmid16269944">{{cite journal |author=Robinson SB, Weitzel T, Henderson L |title=The Sh-h-h-h Project: nonpharmacological interventions |journal=Holistic nursing practice |volume=19 |issue=6 |pages=263-6 |year=2005 |pmid=16269944 |doi=}}</ref>

| The more relaxed a person is, the greater the likelihood of getting a good night's sleep. [[Relaxation techniques]] such as [[meditation]] have been shown to help people sleep. Such techniques can lower stress levels from both the mind and body, which leads to a deeper, more restful sleep.

| [[Traditional Chinese medicine]] has included treatment for insomnia. A typical approach may utilize [[acupuncture]], dietary and lifestyle analysis, [[Herbalism|herbology]] and other techniques, with the goal of resolving the problem at a subtle level.

| In the Buddhist tradition, people suffering from insomnia or nightmares may be advised to meditate on "loving-kindness", or ''[[metta]]''. This practice of generating a feeling of love and goodwill is claimed to have a soothing and calming effect on the mind and body<ref>{{cite journal |author=Lutz A, Greischar LL, Rawlings NB, Ricard M, Davidson RJ |title=Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice |journal=Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. |volume=101 |issue=46 |pages=16369-73 |year=2004 |pmid=15534199 |doi=10.1073/pnas.0407401101 |url=http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/101/46/16369 }}</ref>. This is claimed to stem partly from the creation of relaxing positive thoughts and feelings, and partly from the pacification of negative ones. In the ''Mettā (Mettanisamsa) Sutta''<ref>http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an11/an11.016.than.html</ref>, Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, tells the gathered monks that easeful sleep is one benefit of this form of meditation.
