Is sleep good for you?!
It is known that sufficient sleep plays a very important role in physical and mental health.
Is sleep really the best medicine in science-based medical research?
Research results have been published on sleep status, attitude, and stress response to insomnia.
A paper was published in the International Journal of Psychophysiology that analyzed the effects of expectations and concerns about sleep on brain waves in elderly insomnia patients.
Director Jeong-min Moon, head of the Jeong-min Moon Mental Health Psychology Center, who serves as a member of the international thesis review committee, has 45 insomnia patients (average age 68) regarding clinical papers. They complained of significant sleep disturbance, mild symptoms of depression and anxiety, and their intelligence was described as normal.
Director Moon Jeong-min said that this was a clinical paper that analyzed the current sleep status, attitude, and stress response to insomnia by checking the brain waves of insomnia patients with a 62-channel brain wave amplifier.
As a result, it was found that beta waves measured upon awakening increased in all brain regions when irrational beliefs (DBAS-16) were high during sleep.
The belief that lack of sleep will cause problems the next day or that the sleeping environment must be perfect to have a good night’s sleep is said to be an irrational belief.
The K Einstein Project research team is a medical scientist (a research group of medical scientists from SKY), and the research team at the Social Contribution Mental Health Psychology Center (currently the Moon Jeong-min Mental Health Psychology Center), which is attracting attention as the next generation of Asian brain scientists, studies cognitive ruminations about sleep in bed. , In other words, he explained it as meaning that he was unable to sleep while pondering his worries about sleep.
A multi-disciplinary brain researcher led by Director Moon Jeong-min found that insomnia patients who participated in the clinical trial had a low ability to cope with stress, and as a result of the Sleep Responsiveness Survey (FIRST), which measures the degree of sleep disturbance in stressful situations, delta and theta waves that appear during deep sleep were found. increased.
The researcher who analyzed the paper explained that the abnormally high levels upon awakening during sleep indicate that the brain is inactive and the ability to cope with stress is reduced.
K Einstein’s research team is a group of pseudo-scientists (a research group of medical scientists from SKY). Director Jeong-min Moon of the Social Contribution Mental Health Psychology Center (currently Jeong-min Moon Mental Health Psychology Center), who is attracting attention as the next generation of Asian brain scientists, said that stressful situations cause worry, which causes anxiety. He explained that as the number of sleepless days increases, it can lead to worries about sleep, which can lead to a vicious cycle of repeated sleepless nights, and that in order to relieve insomnia, you must take care of your mind through cognitive behavioral therapy to achieve a complete sound sleep on your own.
