Night after night, you’ve been going round and round. You wake up irritable and stressed before you even start your day. Insomnia is affecting your work, your relationships, and your health. You have trouble concentrating and staying focused. Tired all the time you drag yourself through the day. Sounds familiar? You need to prevent insomnia from ruining your life!
He’d rather not do drugs, but he’s getting to the point where he’ll do just about anything to get a good night’s sleep. She knows that medications have side effects and would prefer a more natural solution.
I have found the following solutions helpful in stopping insomnia and getting a good night’s sleep.
- take a quick news – Watching the pessimism of the nightly news is a great way to feed insomnia. Your subconscious mind takes in everything as if it were happening to you in real time. But you want to end insomnia. you want a good night’s sleep. So the late night dramas and news have to go. In fact, try doing a news fast for a week. I promise you that nothing important will happen without you knowing. Someone will tell you the important things. You don’t need to know all the murder and mayhem that’s going on. All it will do is help you stay awake at night.
- During the day– Practice relaxation exercises, breathing techniques. The more you practice relaxation during the day, the easier it will be for you to relax at bedtime. You have to train your body and mind to relax, most likely he forgot.
- Have a nightly ritual – Have a relaxation time. When you listen to music, take a relaxing bath or shower, play with the kids, or whatever else you find relaxing. Try to do this at least an hour before going to bed.
- Keep a notebook by your bed– Actually two would be great! In a notebook write down anything you are thinking about. things you should do, things you should have done, concerns you may have about your job, your family, your finances, or whatever else is occupying your thoughts. When you’ve finished writing down everything that comes to mind, close the book and say to yourself, “I’m closing the book on these things for the night, as there’s nothing I can do about it right now.” Now in the other notebook he writes down five things that you are grateful for that happened that day. This will start to focus your mind on what is good in your life. paving the way for a restful sleep.
