Sleepwalking can cause anxiety and insomnia

science and technology

Sleep applications primarily seek to regulate your nighttime habits and sleep patterns, but in recent studies it has been shown that sleep tracking applications with smartphones make people anxious and interested in sleeping so much that they become insomnia.

According to the Guardian newspaper, Dr. Jay Leszchner, a sleep disorder specialist and consultant at London's Gay Hospital, said the increasing concern about getting enough sleep was counterproductive. "We've seen a lot of people who have been suffering from insomnia as a result Either to keep track of sleep or to read certain things about how devastating sleep deprivation is for them. "

He explained that a high proportion of patients seeking treatment for insomnia attend in his clinic data on their sleep patterns, and are often reluctant to delete the application.

He added that most applications have not been verified clinically and do not follow only the path of sleep, so do not provide insight into the quality of sleep.

Similar concerns have also been highlighted in a series of case studies published last year by a team in Chicago described patients who led their micro-administration of sleep using applications to disorders.

Research shows that the maximum sleep for most people is about eight hours, but this varies greatly among the population.

For people who need less sleep normally, alerting you to the fact that they are not getting enough sleep can cause them to be affected, as they predict negative symptoms and people feel worse.
