Insomnia Can Drive Undergraduates to Commit Suicide!

By: Denzing Jones

Whenever there is a mention of the basic needs of living beings in general and human beings in particular, the conventional three basic needs of human beings, namely, food, shelter and clothing are always mentioned. A whole lot of other objects are also similarly basic and important for livelihood but they are never listed. As for example, is it possible for any human being or living object to think of living life without getting adequate amount of sleep? The answer would be a loud and clear NO. Sleep is one of the primary needs of all living beings. Though lack of sleep doesn't exactly kill, yet without sleep it is virtually impossible to carry on with life. The living body is like a machine and this machine requires adequate amount of rest and sleep if it is to function properly. ?Going to the office after a hard sleepless night takes a heavy toll on the body. In such a situation, it even becomes difficult even to keep one's eyes open. The idea of leading life without sleep is not less than horrific.

Lack of sleep or difficulty in getting sleep is quite a serious matter and can lead to grave consequences. Unfortunately, though sleep is a very pleasurable part of every human existence, we are not well acquainted with the tidbits related to it. Human beings are still not aware of the several features of sleep such as its importance, pros and cons and altogether the ill -effects that are inevitable due to the lack of proper sleep.

Insomnia is disease that refers to the lack of proper sleep or the inability to get sleep. Insomnia can be the cause of a number of other diseases like erectile dysfunction, heart ailments and a whole array? of mental disorders such as anxiety, depression etc. ?Insomnia is a clinical disease that needs to be treated. Insomnia, unlike depression and anxiety, is not difficult to diagnose. As soon as a person falls prey to insomnia, he should consult a doctor without any further delay before his insomnia worsens. Though it seems to be almost unbelievable but it is wholly true that insomnia, at times, drives people to commit suicide! A latest study shows that undergraduates suffering from insomnia run the risk of succumbing to suicidal tendencies. In fact, poor sleep quality and insomnia ultimately lead to such dangerous tendencies in undergraduates.

However, in case a person is suffering from insomnia or is facing difficulty in getting proper sleep, one should always consult a doctor and should refrain from opting for tranquilizers or antidepressants haphazardly. Almost every antidepressant and tranquilizer yields side-effects that can be very dangerous at times. Another important aspect that is to be kept in mind is that there is a difference between a tranquilizer and an antidepressant. Nowadays, antidepressants like xanax are marketed online for the convenience of the patients. But a prescription is necessary in order to buy xanax or any other antidepressant. But, if somehow a person illegally avails of xanax without a prescription, he may become a victim of xanax addiction that is one of the xanax side-effects. But once you avail of the xanax prescription and also get hold of a credit card to pay for the medicine, it becomes quite easy and simple for you to buy xanax online. ?
