5 Brilliant Tips To Sleep Better
|
Insomnia, Chronic inability to
fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time, is
a common sleep sickness that has disturbed many people around
the world. But the consequences brought about by this disorder
may not be as ordinary as it may seem. It can be downright
punishing.
You know the frustration of looking repeatedly at your clock
while endlessly moving around in your bed. It's mental and
emotional agony to say the least. The tension builds up to its
peak when you see the sunrise, and you have to go to the office
lacking so much energy after spending a sleepless night.
You don't have to suffer anymore. Here are some tips to help you
snooze faster than you could ever expect.
1) Wake up and go to bed at the same time everyday, even during
the weekends. Some insomniacs tend to sleep at any time of the
day to catch up on some sleep they lose during the night. Now
this is the biggest mistake you can make. It ruins your body
clock and will only worsen your insomnia. If you can't sleep one
night, get up the usual time the next morning. You'll be
sleeping soundly like a baby the next night.
2) Don't eat within 4 hours before you go to bed. If in case you
went hungry, try some crackers or light snack. But don't indulge
in an "eat-all-you-can" feast right before bedtime. Your food
won't be digested well, resulting in poor and uncomfortable
sleep.
3) Don't drink caffeine or alcohol. Caffeine can obstruct your
ability to sleep. Alcohol can make you drowsy, but it can wake
you up in the middle of the night and bring you side effects
that will hinder a continuous sleep process.
4) Relax and stay fit. Avoid having a stressful lifestyle.
Exercise daily to release tension. Engage in breathing exercises
to relax your body. Most important of all, don't carry your
problems or emotional baggage to sleep with you. Forget about it
for the mean time. You can go back and solve your dilemma better
the next day after a restful sleep.
5) Never force yourself to sleep. Trying your best to sleep
requires some work. You don't want to work when you want to doze
off. Sleep comes best if you are in a relaxed and comfortable
state. Just lie down, relax, and let the sleeping fairy cast its
spell upon you. |
