Who wants to sleep, remains awake: A psychologist about the reasons for sleep disorders
Hans-Günter Blind has a dream job – literally. As head of the Interdisciplinary sleep centre in Klingenmünster (Pfalz) analyzed the 56-Year-old, what goes on at night in the head of other people. To do this, he sticks patients small disk electrodes to the forehead and measures brain waves, muscle tension and eye movement. His goal: undisturbed night’s sleep for stressed spirits. “We want to make patients to be their own sleeping pill.”
Long sleep is also a factor in the economy. Who slumbers well, there is often a lot of money for any pills, diagnostics, bracelets, or special mattresses. In the world of business that sleep AIDS are brought in according to US market researchers reported last year to around 70 billion US dollars (63 billion Euro) turnover, such as the SWR in the past year.
“Sleep is a highly active process”
The medicine had slept the sleep of long, quasi, says Blind. It had been assumed, during sleep, the body go, all systems shut down, and it was rather uninteresting. “Today we know that sleep is a highly active process and the main repair programme for the people.”

It is estimated that around five million people in Germany have to sleep or sleeping. In Klingenmünster, the psychologist looking back yet and his Team to possible causes. In the analysis area, the results of the measurements are as colored jagged lines on a screen. Another Monitor shows a camera image from the bedroom. How restless is the Patient asleep?
The problem is Blind, especially, to take Worries to bed with you, or a strong pressure to suspend the need for a good night’s sleep. “There is nothing worse than the thoughts of the carousel don’t stop,” he says. And: “Who wants to sleep, remains awake.” The more you focus on sleeping, the more likely the lead to insomnia.
In addition, there are Blind, according to social factors. “We have become a Non-stop society. More and more work shifts or to read by at night Mails. Children today are going with a Smartphone instead of with the stuffed animal to bed.” Needed a new sleeping culture, because “only those who sleep, can bring to power”. It surprise him how little most people knew about good sleep behavior.
How much sleep does a human need, is very individual and genetically determined, says neurologist Peter Young, Chairman of the Executive Board of the German society for sleep research and sleep medicine (DGSM). The a need five, others ten hours. “This needs to change in age, not necessarily.”
Well go to sleep might be a surprising number of people in front of the TV, says Blind. The attention was then directed to “a little stimulating event,” in addition, brood of the audience, what seems to be a sleep-promoting relaxation. “Not”, as the psychologist I can recommend it anyway. “Prior to this noise, the sleep is not deep and not particularly restful.”
