We have sent out a series of articles on sleep, but you may still be at a loss if you have insomnia. Today we will tell you encounter insomnia, you may use the approach. Some people may say, “Can’t you count sheep? But I wonder how many people count sheep the more awake they are? Now please insomnia you to try our approach. First of all, we must tell you that sleep is the most biorhythmic behavior in the human body. As the ancients say, “The sun rises and the sun goes down”. Therefore, you must wait for the sun to set before sleep can begin. Likewise, when the sun rises, you must get up if you have insomnia! Many patients with insomnia, often worried that they do not sleep enough, will affect their health, they take a stupid approach, “I do not care if I have not fallen asleep, I lie in bed also to lie for 8 hours!” Or “I did not sleep well last night, then I sleep more during the day to make up for it!” The first principle, appropriate to limit their sleep time. In fact, sleep is very regular for most people. The only way to get a good night’s sleep is to strictly limit the amount of time you sleep. For example, make it a rule to go to bed around 10:30 p.m. and get up at 6:30-7:00 a.m. the next morning. Even if you don’t get a good night’s sleep, you should get up at the set time. Limit the time gradually according to your situation. If you have insomnia and you can only sleep 4 hours a night now, then extend your sleep time slightly, for example, by stipulating that you go to bed and fall asleep at 12:00 pm and get up at 6:00 am the next morning. When you slowly achieve your goal through other methods, then gradually go to bed earlier, 15-30 minutes earlier each time, and wake up later or at the same time in the morning. This gradually lengthens your sleep time and eventually achieves the sleep time you want. The second principle, do enough to prepare for sleep. For example, soak a hot foot and drink a glass of milk before going to bed (not applicable to those who need to lose weight). In the evening, prohibit exciting activities, such as watching horror movies, reading interesting novels, etc.. You can listen to relaxing music, a pleasant piano piece, a light saxophone. Or hum your favorite song by yourself. To silently tell yourself, I’m ready to sleep now! In short, you can find the most suitable way to prepare for sleep! The third rule, let nature take its course. Sleep is an important means for the body to recover its strength. The brain is excited to a certain degree, it will naturally want to rest. Just the degree of brain excitement varies from person to person. If at night, the brain will be excited, it means that your brain is not excited enough during the day. Then, please arrange the daytime activities well again to make the brain excited. In the evening, please arrange relaxing and pleasant activities, so that the brain can learn to rest quietly. The fourth principle, no need to be afraid. Insomnia, you must have experienced, insomnia to a certain extent, you will be afraid of sleep, and even fear the coming of darkness, fear of the bed in the bedroom. It may be in the afternoon or near dusk that you start to worry, “I may not be able to sleep well again tonight!” The more you worry, the more you are afraid, and all you can think about is how to get a good night’s sleep. According to the third principle, sleep is something that comes with the territory, so what’s the point of worrying? It is better to let go of your worries, do what you need to do during the day, do some sleep preparation at night, and go to bed at the specified time. As for sleeping or not, that is the brain’s own business, the brain wants to rest, will certainly fall asleep. When the brain is well rested, it will naturally wake up. The fifth principle, the bed is used for sleep. For insomnia, you are strictly forbidden to read, watch TV, listen to music, etc. in bed. To make the bed into a stimulus for the conditioned reflex of sleep, once you see the bed, associate it with sleep, long-term, sleep will not be a problem! The sixth principle, if you can not sleep at night, insomnia, you may be tossing and turning in bed, restless. At this time, please take a moment to rest. You can try to do breathing relaxation or muscle relaxation (refer to the history message, anxiety, what to do?) It is strictly forbidden to get up and look at the watch. Once you look at the watch, you will notice the total time of sleep. The result is often, “Oh no, why am I still awake?” The more distracted you are, the more you think about it. For example, “How can I go to work tomorrow if I don’t sleep well? How can I do my report?” And so on and so forth. Therefore, even if you don’t sleep well, it is strictly forbidden to look at your watch if you have insomnia! Do some breathing relaxation or muscle relaxation! It will definitely have an effect! If you have insomnia, try these methods. Sleep is something that needs to be regulated slowly. Give yourself some time and confidence, and you will have a good sleep.
