What Is Hyper Insomnia?By satisfying' it is meant continuous sleep for at least two hours per night. There are times when you will fall asleep but get up every half an hour for some reason or other. This too is classified as insomnia. The Various Types Of Insomnia Vis-À-Vis The Hyper Insomnia Normally, insomnia is considered a symptom of an underlying problem. However, there are times when sleeplessness is the disease itself. Generally speaking there are two major types of insomnia, i.e. acute insomnia and chronic insomnia or hyper insomnia. You will know that you are suffering from acute insomnia when you cannot sleep because of some apparent reason, such as noise, bright light in the room, too much heat, too much cold, incoming illness, recovering from illness, uncomfortable bed, and so on. You will also find people suffering from this type of insomnia when they entertain erratic sleeping schedules, i.e. working on night shifts, working late night, watching TV which interferes with the body's normal biological clock. Normally removing the irritants and minor home remedies would be sufficient to cure this type of insomnia. 
The hyper insomnia, also known as chronic insomnia is quite difficult to manage or cure. This is usually the result of a serious underlying problem, or a disease by itself triggered by some anxiety or serious health problem (which could be neurological, medical and/or psychiatric). Most of the times, the hyper insomnia would be connected with some psychiatric problem or other and hence would require long and careful tests to come to a proper diagnosis. Reports show that such hyper insomnia account for more than 45 percent of the cases. The other major cause for hyper insomnia is drug abuse; and by these I do not mean narcotics. There are many drugs some as innocent as decongestants and antidepressants that can cause long term insomnia. The other culprits could be coffee (and any caffeine consisting drinks), steroids (prescribed by the doctor), beta blockers, and even sleeping pills (withdrawal symptoms when they are discontinued). It is best to immediately check with a doctor if you feel that the insomnia you are suffering from is hyper - and cannot be controlled without proper medical intervention. |
