Insomnia may be due to external environmental factors, or due to excessive mental tension, and it is not excluded that it may be due to pathological reasons.

Insomnia after taking ginseng may be due to long-term exposure to noise or bright light, which can weaken normal sleep quality, making it easy to have difficulty falling asleep or a short sleep duration. It is necessary to change the sleep environment in daily life, providing a quiet and comfortable sleep environment, which can improve sleep quality.

2. Mental Factors

Long-term excessive stress or excessive mental tension can lead to overexcitation of the autonomic nervous system, resulting in decreased sleep quality. It may manifest as difficulty falling asleep or dreaming during sleep, and may cause insomnia symptoms. It is necessary to release one’s own stress, and it is appropriate to participate in some outdoor exercise, which can improve sleep quality.
