7 Ways To Beat Insomnia
by Rose K Taylor
It is discouraging to turn in for the night knowing you're
only going to have problems falling or staying asleep.
Sometimes it's easier to just stay awake and finish tasks or
watch television than it is to lie in bed hoping that by
some miracle sleep will come.
Some struggle with the choice to take or not to take sleep
aids to get the rest they need. While sleep aids can give
you some sleep if you have the time to devote to sleep, you
can end up groggy the next morning. Some don't want to
become dependent on medication. If that includes you, here
are some suggestions:
Don't consume stimulants: Any products containing stimulants
will keep you awake for hours and possibly all night. They
increase the heart rate. And, alcohol slows you down but it
is not a restful sleep as you would assume. Five hours prior
to your bedtime, avoid sodas, tobacco, coffee, and alcohol.
Use your bed for lovemaking and sleep: Conduct work, watch
television, and read in other rooms of the house. Leave the
bedroom for activities that are traditional to it. Sleep and
lovemaking are both relaxing. You want to stay in that frame
of mind in your bedroom.
Get moving: Exercising regularly will help your body seek
sleep for repairing itself. The American Heart Association
recommends getting at least 30 minutes of cardio activity
daily.
Establish routine: Work on a bedtime routine until it is
second nature. This is a major factor for insomnia
sufferers. Your bedtime routine can include relaxing
activities like a warm bubble bath and cooling off the
bedroom. Find what works for you and get the sleep you need.
Be comfortable: A place that's warm and relaxing will invite
sleep. Keep the room dark, if necessary use an eye mask. Try
to ensure that your bedroom is quiet and if this is
difficult wear ear plugs. Make sure the room temperature is
cool and well ventilated. It is worth investing in good
quality pillows and bed covers, after all you spend one
third of your life in bed.
Don't put pressure on yourself:: Telling yourself over and
over that you must fall asleep right now will only heighten
your stress and prevent you from drifting off. Instead of
pressuring yourself, think about something relaxing such as
a vacation or happy past events.
Relax your muscles: Try a little relaxation technique. One
you get into bed, begin practicing a breathing pattern. When
you are in a comfortable position, breathe in slowly and
hold it. Slowly again, breathe out and imagine all that
anxiety and stress is draining away. Keep practicing until
you fall asleep. - 15668
