Don't worry, I now have control over my sleep insomnia. Several years ago, I had trouble falling asleep. I had no clue why this happened, but after sometime on the web, I realized how I could control it. Lets see some tips on how to fall asleep and stay asleep:1. Practice Good Sleep HygieneNot the most specific tip, but this can be divided into many categories. Do something relaxing before bed such as reading a book or accumulating fine writing into your journal. Don't do something that gets you agitated and makes you stressed or upset. This can cause stress hormones such adrenaline which can alert your mind and prevent it from sleeping. However, taking a bath and drinking a warm cup of milk or soy milk have a chemical called tryptophan that relax your body and induce sleep. However, do not consume drinks that have caffeine or artificial sweeteners which can cause hyperactivity and hard time sleeping. Do not sleep when you aren't tired which increases the time in bed. Also, practice the use of the bed where you rest not where you do financial accounting or playing games. Go outside for sometime and have the sun set your sleep clock.
2. Don't Go in Bed if you aren't feeling sleepyChances are, you wouldn't fall asleep as quickly as if you are tired. Your body only falls asleep when it is tired and bored, so try to do something boring such as reading the newspaper, not on the bed. Once you are sleepy, go to the bed and sleep. Remember, if you can't fall asleep in 30 minutes, you probably are not going to fall asleep for at least another hour. So, get up and do something boring such as watching t.v., not something which makes you elated. Also when sleeping, try to act that your body is going to sink into the mattress. This coaxes and relaxes the muscles. Sometimes, if you think that you are tired, your body produces hormones which make you sleepy.
Stay off the Sleeping Pills (Sedatives)
3. Take it EasyDon't stress out that you aren't falling asleep. If there is a clock in the room, take it out to prevent yourself from looking at it. If you have sleep insomnia, you probably wouldn't sleep for at least an hour. For me, it took me around 45 minutes to fall asleep, now takes less than half an hour. Don't do strenuous physical activity before 3 hours of bed time. This has time for your muscles to relax and rejuvenate. Take a warm bath 1 hour before lights out. Also, try to have a conversation of how the days going with a spouse or relative. Do whatever you want that bores you to sleep. 4. Adjust your roomMake sure it is dark or doesn't have any lights that distract you from sleeping. Make the room a few degrees below room temperature. Don't galore yourself with blankets. Don't put distracting items such as a computer, television, etc. in your room. This just makes you disturbed from sleep. Make your room soundproof so that sounds do not keep you awake throughout the night.
Importance of Sleep:Sleep, it may be not as important as it sounds, but it is a vital process in the human body. In the eccentric world of sleep, the body produces hormones and goes through several stages. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) is the last stage in which people experience bizarre and preternatural tales which is also known as dreams. The heart rate and breathing goes up like the body is actually witnessing the event. Lack of sleep contributes to hormonal imbalances, metabolic problems, increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular decline, stress during day, fatigue, decline in the white bloods in the immune system, and also body pains.
Sleep cycle Sleep Insomnia: If you can't fall asleep or stay asleep for several hours, you could be at risk for a condition called sleep insomnia. However, don't worry, it is easy to defeat. If you have sleep insomnia or other problems, try to not take sleeping pills that contain drugs. Sleep insomnia is very easy to take care of and is majorly caused by stress, work problems, ignorance. Following the tips above prove very efficient to controlling this malignant condition.
