Introduction The so-called emotional insomnia is mainly caused by the fluctuation of emotions. With the increase of age, the elderly tend to breed pessimistic negative emotions. When you see or hear some bad things, it is easy to connect with yourself and provoke Memories of past events. Or when the body has some discomfort or some strange feeling, it is easy to guess whether it is a serious illness.

Experts point out that most white-collar insomnia is caused by frequent overtime work. Busy work and tremendous pressure often make them need to stay up all night and even work overnight. Over time, the biological clock has been habitually changed, and it is difficult to sleep at night when you want to sleep, thus creating a nervousness about sleep. People with long-term insomnia may have difficulty in concentration, memory problems, and work-impaired symptoms, and the probability of accidents is 2 times higher than that of normal people. It is understood that more than 40% of insomniacs have drug dependence, and most rely on sedative drugs. But in fact, insomnia is caused by five major factors: psychology, disease, drugs, environment, and physical fitness. It is only counterproductive to rely on sedative drugs.
