Implementing Positive Changes Through The Subconscious Mind |
Insomnia
In his famed hierarchy of need, Abraham Maslow, set forth a list of basic human needs, the lack of which, endangered man’s survival. He correctly identified one of the basic human needs as sleep. Of all the needs of man, none is more common, and yet less well understood, than the universal need for sleep. Fully one third of a human being’s life will have been spent sleeping, or attempting to sleep. With all of the modern advances in medicine, understanding of the biological purposes of sleep remains a perplexing mystery. About the only certainty is that many of us are getting less of it. Since the invention of the light bulb in 1879, modern man has averaged less sleep than at any other time in history, a decrease of from 9 hours per night to just 7 hours. Much like money, sleep only becomes an issue when we don’t have it. If sleep were money, America would be experiencing an economic depression of unparalleled proportions. In actuality, with more than 60,000,000 people annually experiencing chronic sleep deprivation, the economic and social costs are staggering. Insomnia is not defined by the number of hours of sleep, but rather, by the quality of sleep. During sleep, our bodies secrete and circulate 70% of the hormones necessary for maintaining good health. Medical researchers have determined that people who get less than 7 hours of sleep per night are at greatly increased risk of developing such health issues as depression, stress, anxiety, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, kidney disease, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, asthma, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, Parkinson’s disease, hyperthyroidism, and a host of other ailments. Insomnia has been determined to have a direct, negative correlation with living alone. A study conducted by the Washington based National Sleep Foundation, determined that 57% of adults surveyed, would prefer a good nights sleep to a night of great sex. Insomnia has been shown to continually decrease the productivity of employees who are affected with sleep disorders. The annual estimation of reduced economic productivity costs, associated with sleep deprivation among U.S. workers, is between 92.5 to 107.5 billion dollars. Among insomnia sufferers, 47% report that their sleep deprivation has adversely affected their job performance. The crush of fast paced lives over stimulates people on a daily basis with the misapprehension that people are more productive while in a hyper state. Such a state creates high anxiety levels which interfere with optimal functioning and which impedes a persons ability to relax and invite restful sleep. Research has demonstrated that over stimulated hyper people experience a measurable continuing decrease in productivity, and a measurable increase in errors. Many major industrial disasters such as Bhopal, Exxon Valdez, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island, were later determined to have occurred, or were exacerbated by sleep deprived workers. Sleep related accidents are the fourth leading cause of mortality, causing an estimated 51% of all automotive fatalities. Sleep related accidents of all types have been linked to an annually estimated 23,000 fatalities, and 2.5 million injuries requiring hospital treatment.
