In this extremely busy world, people are very much occupied. Every hour of the day is full of various activities that leave everyone drained and very exhausted. This gives people a hint that every night, the body needs to rest by sleeping and allowing the brain cells to regenerate energy that has been used all throughout the day.
According to Help Guide, sleeping behavior disorders are conditions that affect the ability of every individual to sleep well on a regular basis. Whether they are caused by health problems, anxiety or by too much stress, sleep disorders are becoming increasingly common in the United States.
From every individual in the U.S. ages 20 and 60, 75 percent of them are having sleeping problems. These sleeping problems are occurring at a very high frequency and volume.
According to Sleep Foundation, the following are the most common abnormal sleeping behaviors: Nightmares, Sleeptalking and Sleepwalking. On top of the list is nightmares, which are usually coherent visual dreams that seem real and get more disturbing as they unfold and cause the person having it to wake up.
These most often happen towards the end of every sleep period. These dreams most often involve imminent physical danger, thus giving the person a very bad sleep.
In order to mitigate if not eliminate the chances of having nightmares, a person must clear his mind at the end of the day. Meditation and staying in a peaceful place will surely help.
Another sleeping behavior disorder is sleeptalking. In sleeptalking, the sleeping individual is assuming to be talking to someone or somebody who is actually only in his mind.
This behavior is caused by so much stress and sometimes psychological factors. Sleeptalking could be treated by having an ample time of relaxation and meditation during the day time and before going to bed.
On a similar line is sleepwalking, which is the next level to sleeptalking. In sleepwalking, the person sleeping not only speaks words or talks imaginarily, the person sometimes stand and do locomotive actions like walking. Sleepwalking can be prevented by avoiding sleep deprivation and sedative agents including alcohol.
