Causes and regulation of insomnia in middle-aged and elderly women

First, systemic diseases have a great influence on sleep. Such as coronary heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, emphysema, diabetes, cervical spondylosis, these diseases can seriously affect sleep. With the growth of age, cerebral arteriosclerosis gradually appears, and the degree of sclerosis will increase year by year, which is the pathological basis of hypertension, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, dementia, tremor paralysis. After the occurrence of cerebral arteriosclerosis, the blood flow of the brain will be reduced accordingly, resulting in brain metabolic disorders, and then the occurrence of cerebral arteriosclerosis.

Second: many women's diseases are related to hormones. Due to the decline of ovarian function and the decrease of estrogen, women have symptoms such as palpitation, chest tightness, anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia and memory loss. Climacteric hot flashes, night sweats and other symptoms, also affect the quality of night sleep to a large extent. Sudden sweating or being awakened by heat also disrupts the original sleep time, which is more likely to cause people with poor sleep quality to be more depressed or irritable. They want to sleep, but they can't sleep because of physiological reasons.

It must be said that whether it is positive or negative, stimulation or sudden loss of stress will cause insomnia. From the perspective of psychological stress reaction, with the increase of age, women become more and more impatient and vulnerable.
