Insomnia (失眠) is the inability to sleep calmly and relaxedly. It is a problem to nearly everyone at some time. A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then, next morning, may feel that he hardly slept all night. Normally, worry about not getting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia. If insomnia occurs repeatedly, it is important to find its possible causes and try to correct them.Any of simple factors may make one feel difficult to fall asleep. His mattress (床垫) may be too soft or too hard. If there are too many blankets (毯子) on a hot night, he may be too warm; if the mattress is too light he may feel cold during the night. The bedroom itself may be overheated or too cold. If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, this may cause difficulty in sleeping. Eating shortly before going to bed may also be responsible for insomnia. Drinking tea or coffee can also make people awake.The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct. The sufferer should check the mattress, and bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes. He should relax for an hour or two before bedtime, perhaps by reading a book, watching television or taking a warm bath.

To get help, Internet addicts tired of their square-eyed, keyboard tapping ways need look no further than the Web for counseling. There is now an online counseling service at www. relate, org. nz for Internet obsessives. Just e-mail the details of your Internet-induced crisis and help comes direct to your inbox. (46)The new breed of cybertherapists see nothing strange about offering help through the very medium that is swallowing their clients’ free time and splitting their marriages.Getting hooked on the Internet isn’t confined to a few computer nerds. It’s on the rise everywhere—and women are the most likely addicts. The old stereotypical addict was a young man who spent hours playing games, downloading software or reading messages on newsgroups. (47)Yet, the new image is of a young woman who fritters away hours e-mailing friends, buying books and CDs online, talking in chatrooms and looking for information for next year’s holiday.Ingrid Parker, once a slave to Internet chatrooms, found her experiences so devastating that she wrote a book to help other addicts break the habit. (48) Her computer dream turned to nightmare when she sold up and moved to be with her cyberpal (who had just left his wife), only to be told a week later that the couple were getting back together. The heart-breaking turn of events gave her the motivation to control her addiction—and write the book Caught in the Web.For Ingrid Parker, anyone who is married or in a sound relationship should not really be spending hours talking to someone else and ignoring their nearest and dearest. (49)While Parker provided her own therapy by putting her experiences down on paper, she recommends others take up the online counseling offer, or log off from the Worldwide Web gradually.She said, "It’s like smoking. It’s not a good idea to suddenly go cold turkey. People often e mail me about the problem and I tell them to gradually wean themselves off and not to switch to a scheme where you pay per hour for online time. (50)If they break their resolution, all they end up with then is the same old problem plus money difficulties for the long hours they have spent logged in to the Internet. "Of course, the Internet is definitely addictive but if you can keep it in control it has advantages, too. Using it can be a steep learning curve so it helps you become very quick at learning. Also there is a huge demand for people in the field of Information Technology (IT) and hours on the Internet are great training. 48
