Looking forward to resting after a tiring day and sleeping soundly yet finding yourself still wide awake in bed? Or suddenly waking up after a few hours of sleep and finding it hard to go back to sleep? You might be dealing with insomnia.
Whether you experience this occasionally or regularly, it is important to find ways to deal with it and eventually overcome this sleeping disorder.
Wind Down Winding down for sleep is just the same as warming up for exercise.
About half an hour before bedtime, dim the lights and shut down the computer.
Do something slow and soothing for a while, like unwinding with family, cuddling your pet or simply tidying up a bit.
Brushing your teeth, combing your hair and getting into your sleeping clothes are cues for your body that it is bedtime.
Exercise To be able to sleep soundly, a small amount of exercise is essential.
However, it should not be done right before going to bed.
Have a fair amount of adrenaline in your system by getting 20 minutes of exercise a day.
Taking care of your body and using up your energy during the day might help you sleep more soundly.
Grab a Snack A grumbling stomach keeping you awake? This usually happens if your last meal was at five or six and you get in bed at midnight.
Hunger and craving for food can keep you up.
Grab a carbohydrate-rich snack or even a small piece of bread to calm your stomach.
Make It a Habit Establish a routine to improve your sleeping pattern.
Go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning.
This is to cue your body to the appropriate times for sleeping and waking up.
This may take some time, determination and discipline, but eventually, it's going to be worth it.
Try White Noise Insomnia is usually triggered by the noise, or absence of it, around you.
Loud noise or utter silence can both be disturbing you at bedtime.
Try wearing headphones and listening to white noise as you sleep.
The peaceful blur of white noise can lull you to sleep at night.
