Principles of coping with sleep disorders

  If you do not sleep well, how to cope with it? Here is a summary of 12 principles for you to deal with: 1, understanding sleep: sleep time varies from person to person, as long as the daytime is not sleepy, it means enough sleep time.  Some people sleep for a long time, some people sleep for a short time. The length of sleep varies with the seasons, and the length of sleep gradually shortens with the growth of age. Do not stick to the saying that you sleep 8 hours a day.  2, doze off and then go to bed, do not care too much about the time to go to bed. Thinking about how to fall asleep, what time must fall asleep instead of more affected sleep.  3, the reasonable use of light, get a good sleep. Get up in the morning that is to accept the sun’s bath, breathe fresh air, to the biological clock on a good “law”. Avoid excessive light at night, turn off the lights to sleep.  4, avoid taking stimulating food before bedtime, try to relax yourself. Avoid caffeine 4 hours before bedtime, avoid alcoholic beverages, and do not smoke 1 hour before bedtime. You can read books, listen to music, take a warm bath, smell the aroma to relax yourself, or do muscle relaxation training.  5. Wake up at a fixed time. Not early to bed decides early to rise, but early to rise brings early to bed. If you sleep on Sunday, you will have a painful early rise on Monday.  6. Have three meals regularly and do exercise properly. Breakfast is important to promote the awakening of the body and mind, and dinner is based on easily digestible food. Good exercise habits can promote deep sleep.  7.If you take a lunch break, take a nap for about 20-30 minutes before 3:00 pm. A long lunch break will instead bring mental discomfort. Too late naps can affect the evening sleep.  8, sleep with snoring, apnea, leg muscle twitching or ants walking feeling and other phenomena need to pay attention to. The above phenomena may have sleep-related diseases and specialized treatment if necessary.  9, rely on alcohol instead of hypnotic drugs often aggravate insomnia. Alcohol instead of sleep medication can reduce deep sleep and increase the number of awakenings during the night.  10.When you have light sleep, you should actively go to bed late and get up early. Lying in bed for too long can reduce the sense of being asleep.  11.You should seek medical attention promptly when you have irresistible sleepiness during the day even though you get enough sleep at night.  If sufficient sleep does not improve daytime sleepiness and affects normal work and life, you should go to a sleep specialist clinic. You should be especially cautious when driving out in this state.  12. It is safe to take hypnotic drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Take them on time and do not combine them with alcohol.
