Scientists cannot answer this question, although the topic is being studied in many universities around the world. Let's try to figure it out... Elderly people often cannot sleep for a long time and toss and turn from side to side. Children with increased excitability spend a long time tossing and turning in bed until they fall asleep. Is it good or bad? And does an ordinary person toss and turn in his sleep? What causes a person to toss and turn? When he is mortally tired, he can lie like a corpse (motionless) until he wakes up. Maybe such a dream can be considered normal? At what moments do we turn over in our sleep, what prompts us to do this?.. The reason is actually simple. During sleep, various parts of the brain are activated and a person lies on the pillow with the overexcited part of the head. For what? In order to, through pressure on the vessels in this part of the head, reduce blood flow to the overexcited area, thereby reducing its excitability. Try to turn around on the sofa and you will see that you are most comfortable precisely when you press the excited part of your head onto the pillow. When you turn over and change your position, the muscles transfer part of the excitation from the currently active area to themselves, which also helps reduce excitability. In addition, by switching attention to oneself, the muscles tend to release and disperse the tension that has accumulated in them in order to recover. Therefore, during sleep, both humans and animals experience muscle shaking, twitching, and throwing. After deep sleep and slow awakening, muscle twitching, shaking, stretching, and deep yawning are also observed. This helps to minimize excitability and restore strength. Interestingly, the muscles of the body on which you lie and apply pressure with your body rest to a greater extent than those on which pressure is not applied. For example, the right side or leg on which you are lying. This also seems to be due to decreased blood flow. If you lay down an arm or a leg, then the brain activates another part of the head, which automatically requires a change of posture, since this part must be pressed against the pillow (or mattress)…. When a person has a headache, he squeezes it with his hands to relieve the pain. That is, it compresses the blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the overstimulated area. Perhaps astronauts should sleep on pillows that put pressure on the stimulated areas of the brain during sleep. The best option, of course, for normal sleep is the creation of artificial gravity... Elderly people suffer from insomnia and toss and turn, because over the course of their lives they have accumulated many unresolved problems, which, when relaxed, begin to come out, as the spasmodic defense that locked them in is weakened. To improve sleep, you need to allow the spring, twisted under the influence of fear, to unwind in the opposite direction. The pain must be allowed to go away. But then the whole life lived will have to be brought in accordance with conscience and admitted the mistakes made, but this is not easy to do, since a person has been directed “only forward” all his life and he does not know and does not want to know how to go back to rethink the past. And therefore, it is difficult for him to get rid of insomnia and tossing and turning while falling asleep and sleeping... When you give free rein to your feelings, the throwing, throwing, and twisting in bed can be very intense. And this is normal, since all accumulated stress is released. It is not normal when tossing and turning prevents sleep from deepening and a person chronically does not get enough sleep, which prevents full recovery processes from occurring. It is also not normal when a person does not toss and turn. This means that he does not reach the REM stage of sleep. Sleep as you sleep. If you leave the irritants for a while, the brain itself will return to normal sleep. 01/24/2015

Most of us face sleep problems very often. The most common problem can be considered insomnia, nightmares, or a complete absence of a semantic component in a dream.

People have ambiguous attitudes towards phenomena of this kind. But in vain! A person arrives in a state of sleep for more than one third of his life, and for a wonderful state it is necessary that he be full and bring strength and satisfaction, and not toss and turn in his sleep.

The problem of insomnia and tossing and turning in sleep has been studied for a long time, and it is especially relevant for mature and elderly people. To solve it, people usually resort to help sleeping pills. At first, medications help, but the body’s addiction exposes the problem of poor sleep and insomnia again.

The method with sleeping pills is fraught with a person becoming chemically dependent on the components of the drugs; in its essence it is comparable to a narcotic one.

Therefore, there is no need to immediately grab the packaging sleeping pills, since the consequences of taking them will be much worse than the problem of tossing and turning in sleep. In order to somehow reduce the predisposition to insomnia or completely get rid of it, you should look for the main cause of its origin.

British experts looked at the problems of sleep disorders. In the course of research, scientists have developed several recommendations that help cope with the causes of sleep disturbances.

The first reason is tossing and turning in bed for a long time. They usually occur due to too high room temperature. According to medical indicators, a person’s body temperature during the day is maximum, and at night it drops to the minimum level. The most comfortable temperature for good sleep is +18 degrees.

The second reason is sleep, accompanied by talking and walking. They are a consequence of drinking alcohol, narcotic drugs, as well as those obtained as a result of heredity. All these circumstances can cause hallucinatory visions in a dream, and the person himself is unlikely to be able to understand whether he is sleeping or not. Anything can be expected from a person suffering from such an illness, but it cannot cause harm.

The third reason for tossing and turning in sleep may be increased fatigue caused by chronic fatigue. Very often, drowsiness overcomes a person in the midst of a working day; in addition, increased fatigue can be accompanied by weight gain. In such cases, a mandatory visit to the doctor is necessary.

Describing the reasons and possible ways to combat various diseases Sleep disorders that are caused by external factors should not be carried away by self-medication, since we are only trying to overcome the symptoms, and not the cause of the problem.

Very often a person uses different approaches to the problem of sleep, but it would be better to entrust your health to doctors.

A huge number of people face troubled sleep every day. The most common problems are:

• insomnia,
• nightmares
• complete chaos in a dream.

Mostly people don't pay attention to this. And very much in vain! Every person on earth spends more than a third of his entire life sleeping. And for good health, it is extremely important that sleep is complete and allows you to fully restore your strength.

So why does a person spin in his sleep?

This is mainly due to overvoltage and too nervous state person. The problem of poor sleep and tossing and turning during sleep has been under the supervision of scientists for a very long time. British scientists, through numerous studies, have developed a number of tips that should help with the true causes of sleep failure. Prolonged tossing and turning before falling asleep occurs due to the incorrect temperature in the room. The appropriate temperature for healthy sleep is +18 degrees.

Talking and wandering during sleep.

They may have hereditary character, as well as the cause of their occurrence, is the use alcohol and drugs. These factors may be the reason hallucinations during sleep, and the person himself cannot even determine whether he is sleeping. In this condition, can cause harm to yourself and even to those around you.

Another reason is too much fatigue, which is provoked constant fatigue. Very often, a drowsy state overtakes a person during working hours; in addition, it can influence weight gain. In such circumstances, it is highly recommended to consult a specialist.

If you have problems sleeping, do not self-medicate, but consult a doctor immediately.

Every weekday we see a large number of people sleeping in the subway on their way to work or school. And the first thoughts that come to mind are that they didn’t get enough sleep. Some worked late, some went out, some could not put the child to bed. And some people just have problems sleeping. The person seems to sleep the required 8 hours, and has set himself a normal schedule, but still does not get enough sleep. How does this happen? It's simple - this person often tosses and turns in his sleep. From the outside it seems that involuntary movements of the limbs and turning from side to side do not in any way affect the quality of sleep. But this impression is false. The human brain continues to work actively, so it is almost impossible to get enough sleep.

People facing the problem of insomnia and restless sleep often resort to sleeping pills. Medicines, of course, they help at first, but then our body gets used to them and ceases to perceive the calming effect. The same can be said about soothing herbal teas, which cause the opposite reaction in some people.

Before you start using sleeping pills, try to determine the cause of your sleep disturbances. This may be overwork, stress, heavy mental work, personal and work problems, painful sensations. Once you understand what the problem is, you will be able to deal with your anxiety on your own. If the reason is your mental state, you constantly feel anxious, then you should consult a doctor. Sometimes restless sleep is due to the fact that the body is uncomfortable in the process of falling asleep. Remember in what position you wake up in the morning, and take this position in the evening: then you will not have to turn over while sleeping. And be sure to ventilate the room before going to bed (comfortable temperature for sleeping is 18-20 degrees).

Many parents are faced with the problem of poor sleep in children. Children toss and turn in their sleep, have difficulty falling asleep, are constantly capricious and do not give themselves or their parents the opportunity to get enough sleep. The reason for poor sleep in a child, especially an infant, may be the state of his health: he may be teething, have a stomach ache, or develop intestinal colic. He may also have difficulty sleeping due to a diaper that is fastened too tightly or wrinkles in his clothing. He may be hot or thirsty.

If doctors say that everything is fine with the baby, and you are sure that the child is comfortable lying in the crib, then the reason may be his high excitability. Children lead a very active lifestyle during the day, and the brain does not stop processing information during sleep. Therefore, the most difficult time to put a child to bed is after some hectic family holidays, when the baby gets to know new people, gets unexpected impressions and tries to digest it all.

A separate example of restless sleep is somnambulism, or sleepwalking. While in this state, people not only make some movements with their body, but it seems that they do it consciously. A somnambulist can get out of bed, walk around the room, and answer simple questions. There were cases when somnambulists fell out of windows, mistaking them for doors. In this state, they can harm themselves and others, so there is no need to try to wake up the sleepwalker, it is better to simply walk him to bed.

Somnambulism is a fairly common occurrence. If it occurs in your life once, it can be explained by a state of anxiety, overexcitation, or the influence of alcohol or drugs. If getting up at night while dreaming is a common activity for you, then you should definitely consult a doctor. Currently, sleepwalking is treated with sedatives, antidepressants and hypnosis.

A person spends about a third of his life in a state of sleep, which is why it is so important that your sleep is sound and complete. Take care of your health, because this is the key to a successful life.
