【Insomnia】
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, which refers to people who often cannot get normal sleep or are dissatisfied with their sleep quality.

[Causes of insomnia]
Lifestyle habits: drinking caffeinated beverages, smoking and drinking alcohol before bedtime, irregular bedtimes, or shift work will affect sleep. According to the plot, Al Pacino's police career has a long history. Except for the stimulation of smoking and soft alcoholic beverages, irregular life is the dominant factor.
Environmental factors: sound, light, smell, bed too soft or too hard, indoor temperature too high or too low, mosquitoes, flies or lice bites, etc., can interfere with sleep. A small town in Alaska near the Arctic Circle, with perpetual day and cold, time is frozen here, and the light of the sun disturbs normal sleep.
Physiological factors: More than half of patients with chronic insomnia have primary sleep disorders, including dyspnea and intermittent muscle twitches during sleep. Other physical conditions such as arthritis, burning chest, menstrual headache, hunger, satiety, bloating, frequent urination, cough, pain and other discomforts. Al Pacino, who was born on April 25, 1940, is a Taurus with a combination of energy and fat, but after all, he is old and lacks explosiveness, so he can be forgiven for failing to run the suspect.
Psychological factors: Insomnia is associated with many underlying psychological factors. Such as stress, anxiety, depression, etc. can cause insomnia. For Al Pacino, it was more of a sense of guilt and fear. He mistakenly killed his partner, the police, and was pressed and coerced by the eyewitness Robin Williams.
[Type
of insomnia ] Transient insomnia (less than a week): Most people experience transient insomnia when they experience stress, stimulation, excitement, anxiety; when they are sick; at high altitudes; or when their sleep patterns change. This type of insomnia will generally improve with the disappearance of the event or the extension of time, but transient insomnia such as improper treatment of some people will lead to chronic insomnia. Robin Williams has no more than six days of insomnia.
Short-term insomnia (one week to one month): Severe or persistent stress, such as a major medical illness or surgery, the death of a relative or friend, or serious family, work, or relationship problems, can cause short-term insomnia. This insomnia has a clear correlation with stress. Short-term insomnia can also lead to chronic insomnia if not managed properly. Al Pacino has just arrived on the line, and this is the type of insomnia.
Chronic insomnia (greater than one month): The causes of chronic insomnia are complex and difficult to find. Many chronic insomnia are caused by a combination of multiple causes. The genre has not yet been found in the Insomnia film.
[Insomnia Criteria]
Complaints of sleep physiological dysfunction; daytime fatigue, bloating, dizziness and other symptoms are caused by sleep disturbance; only reduced sleep volume without daytime discomfort (short sleepers) is not regarded as insomnia. Due to many irresistible reasons such as geographic, climate, language, flight time difference, fame, appearance, etc., the main complaint object, Al Pacino, failed to see a doctor in person, and this standard was invalid.
[Insomnia Elixir]

【Insomnia Case】
This was many years ago. A week ago, everyone was busy with their final exams, and while taking time to pack their luggage home, Jude Law seemed indifferent. He piled books on the bed as pillows and went to sleep without hesitation. The gradually hot early summer was a hibernation period for him. He only got up after everyone went to class. In the deserted corridor, Jude Law slapped a pair of cheap foam slippers to the toilet, washed his face, and went back to sleep. Jude Law never brushed his teeth, and he could smell the breath of the night dreaming in his mouth, indulged, with the smell of mildly rotten leaves.
Two days later, the exams are all over, and the results are a matter of the future. Now everyone is playing poker together, winning the table and losing. Someone was playing volleyball in the aisle, the laundry room was leaking day and night, and all the noise made Luo nearly crazy with pain, and he buried his head under the pillow and suddenly broke out with a roar. Everyone was taken aback and became much quieter. After five minutes, someone patted the table again. Jude Law sat up with his pillow covered, quickly jumped out of bed and slammed out the door. Someone ran to the window and saw Jude Law stumbled around the flower bed wearing shorts and a vest with a pillow between them, and lay down on a stone chair to continue sleeping. The man watched for a while, and asked in amazement, what's wrong with him? The person who answered him said, play the cards, ignore that garbage.
Jude Law didn't go home. Before the holiday, he applied to stay in the dormitory. Everyone was in a hurry to go back, and few people competed with him for the five-dollar errand. When the people in a dormitory building left one after another, Jude Law could no longer sleep, and began to lose sleep all night. The night watch work made Jude Law explain his insomnia. He often went up and down the stairs with a flashlight all night, and sat in an unfamiliar bedroom for several hours. Later, Jude Law discovered a new way to treat insomnia. The stranger's bed gave him a strange sense of security. The smell of oil on the pillow became the best hypnotic agent. He covered other people's towels and sheets, as if he had stolen a A body with a temporarily sojourn soul. The weak flashlight illuminated Jude Law's sleeping face, changing the various voices and smiles of the owner of the bed.
[Insomnia strategy]
Insomnia started from a small plane. Boundless icebergs glowing blue light were constantly pushed from the porthole. A piece of white cloth fiber moistened by blood droplets in the shaky dream slowly penetrated down. , you can hear the greedy sucking sound of speed.
Detective Al Pacino's optic nerve was lightly scratched by light near the Arctic Circle before he got off the plane. At first, it was just sour and tired, and Al Pacino was getting old. He was no longer the godfather of the gangster, nor the super-smelling veteran officer in "Scent of a Woman". Now he is just a piece of old ginger that we usually describe as it gets older and spicier. The experiential smell temporarily makes up for the slightly reddened tiredness at the corner of his eyes, and he wants to retreat, but he can't help it.
In Japanese mythology, there is a dream-stealing fairy called a tapir, with a giant mouth and fangs. It is light in hand and swiftly swept past the pillow, stealing the colorful essence of the dream. The eating habits of tapirs are similar to those of gnats, which take away the dream and inject insomnia back into the human body. Sleepy sneered sly and slyly in the distance, no matter how much she pleaded in a low voice, she never came.
Changed the direction of the pillow, went to the toilet again, drank water, chewed gum, and reluctantly counted the sheep again, but the tapir was still indifferent and disappeared without a trace. The most painful thing about insomnia is not the obvious low-level performance of insomnia, but the awakening that you have insomnia. A heavy hammer hit his forehead hard, and after the pain passed, he could clearly see the word insomnia escaping from the gap in his brain.
Al Pacino didn't go to Alaska for vacation, he was a policeman who always got the phone ringing in his sleep, this time about the murder of a young girl. The murderer is Robin Williams, the wrinkled, magically smirking old guy who often jumps out of the funniest spot for frivolous jokes. The most classic appearances include "Spring Breeze and Rain", "Captain Hook", "September Pregnant", "Aladdin", "Jumanji", "Dream Come True", "Iron Reborn". But this time he was also infected with insomnia, fell into a writer, and then mistakenly killed a young girl who had a longing for literature. The two insomniacs were brought together by director Christopher Nolan, who was born in London in 1970, and stared at each other in drowsiness, like seeing a face deeply troubled by insomnia at the same time in the mirror.
Christopher Nolan is the dream-stealing goblin who chose such a remake, attacking Al Pacino's sensitive nerves with both daylight and guilt, and he stole Hollywood's dream from an underground tunnel in the opposite direction of Hollywood. . The police will also commit crimes, the police will also accidentally kill their partners, the police will also make some lowly petty actions, the character attitude that goes against the morality of Hollywood heroes, and even the most important love has disappeared strangely.
In an era when cartoons are beginning to fall in love, Christopher Nolan is going to spread a seriously ill "Insomnia" at the cost of testing the audience's IQ. There is no murder scene, no perverted bloodthirsty, only small clips that keep flashing back, and a chase scene is also slow and powerless due to insomnia. But fear came, and slowly approached the cold back of nobody.
