Insomnia has long been a symptom that seriously plagues human beings. People with insomnia either have difficulty falling asleep, sleep shallowly, have nightmares, wake up easily, or wake up early. One long night is a painful ordeal for them. In order to get a satisfactory sleep, some of them repeatedly turn to doctors in psychiatry, psychology, neurology, respiratory medicine, etc., and some rely on sedative-hypnotic drugs for years. However, because the causes of insomnia are more complex, doctors have different degrees of difficulty in treating insomnia. Insomnia seems to be a big headache for patients and doctors alike. In fact, insomnia is related to personal habits. If you can consciously develop sleep habits and pay attention to sleep hygiene in your daily life, many insomnia symptoms can be improved or even eliminated. Some of the sleep habits provided below are for reference. First, it is important to eliminate the fear of insomnia. Insomniacs often have the experience that the more they fear insomnia, the more they lose sleep. If you go to sleep each night as if you are facing a big enemy, anxiety can also bring physical tension, which can aggravate the difficulty of falling asleep. In fact, in addition to the quiet night for sleep, but also can be used to work, study, entertainment. There is an ancient poem: “Life is not a hundred years, often with a thousand years of worry. The day is short and the night is long, so why not swim by candlelight?” Many of mankind’s valuable spiritual and material wealth is exchanged for insomnia at night. “A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold”, if so, why not cherish it? Relaxed vigilance against insomnia, anxiety disappears, sleep becomes a natural thing, and this is the original face of returning sleep to biological instinct. Secondly, when it is difficult to fall asleep, try to stay away from the bed. It is better to go outside the bedroom, you can go to the living room to watch TV, you can go to the study to read a book, or you can go for a walk outside. In short, the farther away from the bed, the better. Until you feel sleepy and sleepy, then return to bed, when you can often fall asleep as soon as you hit the pillow. This is to establish a clear conditioned reflex between the bed and sleep, so that the body and subconscious mind to remember the concept of “the bed is used to sleep”. Conversely, activities such as reading, watching TV, listening to the radio, chatting and surfing the Internet in bed are all disruptive to this conditioned reflex and can cause insomnia. In fact, being in bed is far less efficient than being under the bed, and it also reduces the efficiency of normal sleep. It is not really cost effective to “lose your wife and your army”. Third, you should relax before going to bed. In extreme fatigue when people are often eager to fall asleep suddenly, but at this time the body and mind are in a state of tension, even if they fall asleep will not immediately relax. This will be manifested as sleep when the body is stiff, dreaming constantly. When you wake up, not only do you not enjoy the relaxation brought by sleep, but your body and mind are more fatigued. Before going to bed, you can take a relaxing walk, or do a massage for your body, or use warm water to soak your feet, or sit in meditation for a few moments with your whole body relaxed. These tasks can be understood as a prelude to sleep and can also be seen as a form of self-hypnosis. Sleep thus becomes a planned procedure, and the person, as the programmer and regulator, is the master of sleep, not the slave of insomnia. Fourth, try not to sleep with the help of psychoactive substances. Tea, coffee and other stimulants affect sleep is almost universally known, and insomniacs are actively staying away. And the wrong practice of alcohol, Valium drugs and other sleep aids seem to be taken for granted. It is not known that after drinking alcohol, although people are temporarily anesthetized, they will soon enter a stage where excitement and anesthesia alternate repeatedly. The normal activity pattern of the brain is disrupted, and people cannot get effective sleep. People’s sleep has its own procedure, Valium drugs hypnotize people at the same time will make this procedure disturbed. Although people are asleep on the surface after taking drugs, the normal sleep program is not running, so in essence, it is not a real sleep. To truly enjoy the joy of sleep, one should avoid dependence on alcohol and drugs. If you have been dependent for a long time and it is difficult to quit, you can seek help from a specialist. Finally, do not catch up on sleep during the day after insomnia. It is customary for people who have insomnia at night to sleep a little longer in the morning or take a nap during the day to catch up. Unfortunately, last night is gone, sleep is not to make up for it. The biorhythms of the human body are consistent with circadian rhythms, and it is normal to be excited during the day and quiet at night. “The sympathetic nervous system needs to be active in the morning, and Yang Qi needs to be sparingly developed, so sleep at this time tends to disrupt the plant nervous system and suppress Yang Qi. What’s more, the psychology of morning sleep reinforces the sense of loss brought about by insomnia, and people’s day starts with frustration, then the whole day will be shrouded in bad hints, and the enthusiasm for life will be knocked out a lot. If you really want to catch up on sleep, do not rush, you can go to sleep earlier in the evening. In this way, the passive sleep during the day into active sleep at night, the mood will be very different.
