Stress makes for more sleepless in Taiwan-study

More than one in five people in Taiwan suffers from insomnia likely caused by stress due to the economic woes, a figure higher than the global average, researchers said on. Wednesday.The survey of 4,005 people found that 21.8 percent of the population has chronic trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, said Lee Hsin-chien, psychiatry chairman at government-run Shuang-Ho Hospital in Taipei.
Overseas, averages of 10 to 15 percent of the population reports insomnia, he said, while Taiwan’s rate was about 10 percent in 2000.Stress due to recession on the export-reliant island earlier this year might have contributed to the increase, Lee said. Diabetes, hypertension, anxiety and depression may also be driving insomnia as health generally declines in the face of an increasingly Western lifestyle, he added. Sleeplessness is a big problem for me. I wake up per hour in the midnight every day and I have a lot of dream while I am sleeping. I have not a good quality of sleeping. Even, I am afraid to sleep. I need the deeply sleeping very much. I don’t know how to improve this situation. I tried don’t think too much, or too tired, but nothing be changed. I am so sad. When do I can get good quality of sleeping?
