Introduction
Feeling wide awake at night with a sense of excess energy throughout the body may be caused by physiological factors, or by pathological conditions such as autonomic nervous dysfunction and neurasthenia. Treatment can be achieved through general therapeutic measures or medication. Insomnia may occur if the sleep environment suddenly changes or is excessively noisy. It is important to frequently open windows for ventilation and maintain good indoor air circulation.
Feeling wide awake and full of energy at night may be caused by physiological factors, or it could result from pathological conditions such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or neurasthenia. Treatment can be achieved through general management or medication. Specific details are as follows:
1. Physiological Factors
If the sleep environment suddenly changes or is excessively noisy, insomnia may occur. It is recommended to frequently open windows for ventilation and maintain good indoor air circulation.
2. Pathological Factors
1) Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction
This generally refers to a series of neurological disorders caused by abnormalities in sleep and sympathetic nerve function. Symptoms may include significant mood swings, sleep disturbances, and excessive racing thoughts. Under medical guidance, medications such as Oryzanol tablets, Yangxue Qingnao Granules, or Vitamin B1 tablets may be used for treatment.
2) Neurasthenia
This may be caused by prolonged stress, mental pressure, or irregular作息 (daily routines). Symptoms may include emotional distress and sleep disorders, such as difficulty falling asleep. Under medical supervision, medications such as Anshen Bunao Liquid or Yening Granules may be taken for treatment.
In addition to the above causes, insomnia may also be related to conditions such as insomnia disorder, depression, or anxiety disorder. It is important to maintain a positive mindset and avoid emotional agitation.
