Insomnia is a common symptom among modern people. Statistics show that over 75 million Americans suffer from insomnia, while 40% of the population in mainland China—equivalent to more than 600 million people—lie awake staring at the ceiling waiting for dawn. In Taiwan, nearly 6 million people also face sleep problems, with office workers accounting for almost 80% of insomnia cases.

Don’t underestimate insomnia! Sleepless nights not only leave people exhausted during the day but can also cause dry eyes and elevated blood pressure. Long-term insomnia may even lead to memory decline, depression, and anxiety. Office workers already endure significant work-related stress, burdening both their physical and mental health. Adding insomnia to the mix can push their well-being into the danger zone.

Tired of counting sheep all night? Doctors recommend that creating a good sleep environment is the first step to improving insomnia. Proper lighting, suitable temperature, and comfortable bedding are essential companions to help those with insomnia drift off to dreamland. Playing soft music before bed can also relax the mind, reduce physical agitation, and enhance sleep quality. Want to learn more sleep tips?
