How to self-adjust to help you sleep

Many insomnia is often mild and transient caused by somatic diseases, sleep environment changes, psychological factors, etc. Non-pharmacological treatment can avoid insomnia aggravation and turn into chronic and persistent insomnia, and also often can reduce the dose of medication, which is an effective supplement to the clinical medication for insomnia. Most of the insomnia patients have bad sleep habits, disrupting the normal sleep pattern and forming a wrong concept of sleep, which leads to insomnia. At this time, we need to analyze and find the reasons for the formation of bad sleep habits and establish good sleep habits. We should pay attention to the following points: (1) Avoid using excitatory substances (coffee, strong tea or smoking, etc.) a few hours before bedtime (generally after 4:00 p.m.); (2) Don’t drink alcohol before going to bed, as alcohol can interfere with sleep; (3) Regular physical exercise, but avoid strenuous exercise before going to bed; (4) Don’t eat and drink a lot before going to bed or eat food that is not easy to digest; (5) Don’t do any work or watch any mental work or watch anything that is easy to cause excitation for at least one hour before going to bed; and (6) Don’t do any mental work or watch anything that can cause excitation. (5) at least 1h before bedtime, do not do easily excited mental labor or watch easily excited books and film and television programs; (6) the bedroom environment should be quiet, comfortable, appropriate light and temperature; (7) to maintain a regular work and rest time. Many insomnia patients often lie in bed early, after several hours is still unable to sleep, but even if you can’t sleep to lie in bed “brewing” sleep, that even if you can’t sleep, close your eyes and lie down is also rest. This concept, behavior will actually aggravate the condition of insomnia, and is not desirable. Only the bed and sleep closely linked to help sleep, try some of the following suggestions: (1) only want to sleep when you lie down to sleep. (2) Use the bed only for sleeping. (3) If you can’t fall asleep in bed for more than 10 minutes, get up immediately and you can do something. (4) Don’t look at the clock too often. (5) Get up on time every morning and don’t count the total number of hours you slept during the night. (6) Daytime naps should not be too long.
