This hyperactivity will make it more difficult to fall asleep, which requires a slowdown in brain activity to fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In addition, if a person has a &#8220;hyperactive&#8221; brain, it will be more difficult for them to enter the deep sleep phases, which allow a better recovery. We could then notice more frequent awakenings during the night and a fatigue that is always present in the morning, even if the individual seems to have had a suitable night&#8217;s sleep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In other people, we will notice in the qEEG, a lack of slower frequencies, which are necessary to slip into sleep and, thus, recuperate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In both cases, we can train the brain using Neurofeedback to bring brain activity back to a better functioning.

While an occasional bad night&#8217;s sleep may have no serious consequences, persistent insomnia can impact your health. If your sleep troubles persist despite adopting good sleep hygiene, consult your primary care physician. Regular sleep disturbances can indeed have daily repercussions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lack of concentration and attention (reduced performance),<\/li>\n<li>memory problems,<\/li>\n<li>mood disturbances and irritability,<\/li>\n<li>fatigue,<\/li>\n<li>daytime sleepiness,<\/li>\n<li>and increased risk of work accidents or road accidents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most common symptoms are insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness. Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, early awakening, or a feeling of non-restorative sleep. Excessive daytime sleepiness, on the other hand, is the habit of falling asleep at times when one is normally awake. It is not a disorder but a symptom of various sleep disorders. However, insomnia can be a disorder or a symptom of other disorders.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2bd10e1fb0 {margin-top: 30px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2bd10e1fb0\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1560977251662{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"fullwidth-block-69d2bd10e1fdc\" class=\"fullwidth-block clearfix\"  style=\"background-color: #ffffff;padding-top: 105px;padding-bottom: 80px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"fullwidth-block-69d2bd10e1fdc\")); }<\/script><div class=\"fullwidth-block-inner\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2bd10e2074 {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2bd10e2074\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Diagnostic evaluation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2bd10e209f {margin-top: 40px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2bd10e209f\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;ptext&#8221;]Long-term, frequent lack of sleep can have detrimental effects on health: risks of depression, decreased motivation, stress, increased risk of obesity and diabetes, etc. Therefore, consult a doctor to assess your health status. To make a clear diagnosis, the specialist will ask you questions about your sleep:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are difficulties falling asleep or nighttime awakenings accompanied by dark thoughts?<\/li>\n<li>Do you experience episodes of early awakenings?<\/li>\n<li>How long have you had sleep disturbances?<\/li>\n<li>Do you wake up tired?<\/li>\n<li>What is the frequency and duration of your naps?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have good sleep quality?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Events prior to bedtime and your sleep hygiene (such as food or alcohol consumption, and mental or physical activity) should be reported to your doctor. If you suffer from a mental health condition such as anxiety disorders or depression, you should inform the healthcare professional. Additionally, medication use should be noted.<\/p>\n<p>The specialist will also look for other sleep disorders (respiratory pauses at night, snoring, abnormal leg movements during sleep, etc.) that may accompany insomnia. They will then examine you to rule out any underlying illness (hyperthyroidism, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Neuroperforma clinics do not diagnose. However, we offer neurofeedback for sleep disorders. This solution can promote falling asleep, and our patients notice significant improvements in the quality of their sleep.

It should preferably be performed before hypnotics are prescribed. This treatment focuses on managing thoughts and behaviors that disrupt your sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive-behavioral therapy allows patients to improve their sleep hygiene, reduce time spent in bed, control stimuli, and establish a regular sleep schedule. Hypnotics are also recommended in the treatment of sleep disorders. However, the use of these medications is subject to certain precautions to minimize dependence, misuse, and abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To treat sleep disorders, you can also use naturopathy in moderation and complementary therapy (acupuncture, osteopathy).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What are the different types of sleep disorders?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1710837797803-caa3449d-271697f4-0a63cd38-88bf&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several types of sleep disorders.

One of the best ways to adopt good habits is to go to bed and wake up simultaneously every day. Also, try to sleep when you feel tired instead of spending a lot of time in bed. Avoid consuming alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine a few hours before bedtime.
