As you know, in our society there are different people. Some are considered incorrigible workaholics who can redo all things in one day, while others, on the contrary, prefer to lie on the couch all day and do nothing, except to entertain themselves with various trinkets. These are the latter that are called clinomans.
What it is?
The tendency of a person to pathological laziness, that is, lying in bed when everyone around is working, is called clinomania. Moreover, the clinoman is capable of lounging endlessly.
For justice, it should be noted that the desire to do nothing appears from time to time for each person. However, these manifestations are of a short-term nature, since a normal and healthy individual simply cannot be in a stationary state for a long time.
Clinomania is difficult to diagnose. However, in the presence of this dependence in humans steady state drowsiness (one gets the impression that the individual is not getting enough sleep all the time).
He does everything without getting out of bed; he has a craving for entertainment that is passive in nature (playing a computer).
Typically, such persons have unpleasant character traits: sexual immorality, gluttony, anger without cause. In addition, the following symptoms are observed in a clinomaniac: dizziness with sudden movements, disturbance of the heart rhythm with sudden movements, as well as shortness of breath, problems with high blood pressure.
Experts are sure that this manifestation belongs to the category of mental disorders and occurs against the background of other mental states, such as neurosis, apathy, and even schizophrenia.
Clinomania can occur at any age.In adults, it arises for a reason, namely because of the problems that have arisen, either with health, or due to the formation of a negative environment.
The reasons for the formation of this state are hidden in the deep subconscious of the individual, this is how he tries to get away from reality. He is even too lazy to admit to close people that he behaves this way because of the problem that has developed in his life.
It was the problem that aroused fear of reality in his subconscious. Perhaps this fear arose as a child and now burst out. Sudden panic attacks can bring a person to a clinomania. There is only one conclusion: dependence on one's own laziness can be accompanied by other, more serious problems, such as mental illnesses of various kinds.
For example, a clinomaniac may suffer:
- Kleine-Levin-Crichley syndrome - It is expressed in a long day's sleep, and with short wakefulness with a pronounced appetite, this disorder is supplemented by sexual disorders;
- hypersomnia - pathological drowsiness;
- atypical (autonomic) depression - complaints of constant drowsiness;
- schizophrenia (accompanied by disturbing sleep);
- symptom endogenous depression.
And also the psyche of a clinoman can be disturbed due to organic brain damage.
If the individual is always at rest, lying on the couch, then he expresses his insecurity and tries to return to a state of subconsciousness when he was very young and looked after, fed, watered.
Definitely this disorder cannot be ignored. Full examination required with the participation of all specialists.
Blood tests can show that a constant desire to lie in bed is caused by a very serious illness that is not mental.
How is it different from dysanias?
Everyone knows how difficult it is to get out of bed in the morning when you need to go to work. This is especially difficult to do when behind a stormy weekend. This is quite normal. Such people can simply be advised to get enough sleep every day and try to avoid noisy parties.
However, there are people who hardly get out of bed, although they went to bed very early and overslept the right number of hours, which ensure the health of the whole organism. The alarm clock is terrifying, and the bed seems like a magnet, which is difficult to refuse, and all this happens every day. So there is a suspicion that you are suffering disany. It resembles clinomania, but differs significantly from it.
Clinomania is a rather serious disorder, which in most cases is accompanied by severe pathologies of a mental nature, in contrast to dysaniasis, which can develop against a background of chronic fatigue. In this case, dysanias resembles ordinary slowness. But this is far from the case. People with dysmania are often anxious. It absorbs energy, hence this disorder and originates.
If the alarm clock is annoying in the morning, then you may have disorder. Although medicine does not recognize dysmania as a separate disease, it is still necessary to combat it.
- First of all, you should try not to overload your brain at work. Working on a computer causes eye strain. The whole organism suffers from this. And if your responsibilities include regular work related to the computer, then you need to give it up at home. Stop playing games or watching news on the monitor. Allow your eyes and brain to rest from electrical flicker.
- Definitely need to go to bed early. So you get used to get enough sleep, and the body gets its dose of rest. If you feel constant tiredness, then refuse at least for the time from evening events, such as going to a disco or to a club where loud music is present.Better stay at home and engage in a quiet occupation. Watching movies with a light plot on TV is not prohibited.
In most cases, problems of a psychological and mental nature arise when the human brain is overloaded. Try to avoid diverse overvoltages and do your favorite things more. Then anxious states cannot harm you.
How to get rid?
Phobia of active life - this is usually characterized by clinomania. And this fear is irrational. Clinomania treatment is different. It all depends on the severity of the disease. Someone will need a little time for complete deliverance, and someone will have to work hard to get rid of an obsessive state.
Specialists like a psychiatrist or psychotherapist can start treatment, when they receive a complete analysis of the mental and physical condition of the patient. It is necessary to find out the cause of the disease. And as soon as complete information is received, then the treatment itself will begin.
Perhaps the patient will be offered to undergo a course of psychoanalysis or try to influence the mind with the help of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
If these methods are not so effective, then special pharmacological preparations will come to the rescue. It can be activating drugs or antidepressants. They go well with psychotherapy.
A lot of successful treatment depends on the efforts of relatives. They just need to stop caring for the clinomaniac as if he is paralyzed and cannot move independently. Stop bringing everything you need to bed to a person who is dependent on laziness, and he will be forced to walk and even run. At least then, to take food.
In addition, you need to constantly provoke the patient to so that he begins to take the initiative. Create a situation that forces the clinoman to show activity. For example, a mother or father can come up with a plot where they need urgent help from a clinomaniac. This will prompt a person to any activity.
It is desirable that these actions are not one-time, but permanent. The instructions can be different from going to the store for groceries and ending with cleaning the apartment.
To start treating the disease on time, it is necessary to consult a specialist on time. And this can be quite difficult to do due to the fact that the Clinoman himself and his relatives hide the abnormal condition for a very long time.
With a long course of the disease, clinomania can begin to control a person’s personality, as psychiatrists say. And this is fraught with the fact that a person will plunge into complete degradation, and this will destroy his life.
