Why can't I fall asleep at night and wake up early?
Disease description:
I have not been sleeping well for the past few days. I often feel extremely thirsty during the night and in the evening. Although I feel very tired, I have difficulty falling asleep, and I wake up particularly early in the morning. Could you please advise on what I can do? Thank you.

Difficulty falling asleep at night and waking up early in the morning may be caused by multiple factors:
1. Psychological factors: Anxiety, depression, excessive stress, and other emotional issues can disrupt sleep, leading to difficulty falling asleep and early awakening.
2. Poor lifestyle habits: Irregular sleep schedules, excessive use of electronic devices before bedtime, and consumption of caffeine or alcohol can all affect sleep quality, causing difficulty falling asleep at night and early morning awakening.
3. Environmental factors: A poor sleep environment, such as excessive light, noise disturbances, or uncomfortable temperatures, can also negatively impact sleep.
4. Medical conditions: Certain disorders such as insomnia, neurasthenia, and depression, as well as physical discomforts like pain or breathing difficulties, may cause difficulty falling asleep at night or waking up too early in the morning.
