There are people who are in drastic need of sleep but just can´t seem to will their bodies to go to dreamland. They toss and turn until the sheets come off their beds, and they get the bitter realization that counting sheep doesn´t actually work.
Insomnia doesn´t just mean not being able to sleep a wink. It also means waking up lots of times during the night, or getting the feeling that you didn´t get a good night´s sleep, or waking up too early in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep.
Almost half of America´s population suffers from insomnia, and practically everyone has experienced it at least once in their lifetime. Some suffer this disorder for years. Insomnia is something you have to be concerned about because it greatly affects your life and those around you. It makes you cranky and moody, makes you lose your concentration, and in effect makes you lose friends. It could also weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to illnesses. So if you´re suffering from sleep deprivation, you´ve got to take steps to cure it ASAP.
You´ve got to diagnose what kind of insomnia you´re suffering from. You don´t need a doctor to do this for you. You can do it yourself. Insomnia is caused by a lot of factors.
Psychological factors include depression, sadness, or anything that gives you negative feelings. These may arise from traumatic events that you couldn´t get out of your mind (like embarrassing incidents, financial problems, or death of a loved one). Stress, anxiety, excitement, and nervousness may contribute to insomnia. Physical impediments may also cause insomnia. You have to see your doctor to determine if you´re suffering from any illness. Heart problems or medication may cause sleeplessness.
The food that you intake may also be a factor contributing to insomnia. Don´t take anything that has caffeine in it. This includes coffee, chocolate, and tea. Check the food you eat and trash those that contain caffeine. The same goes with alcohol and nicotine. Like caffeine, these are stimulants that help to keep your mind awake. Alcohol does help induce sleep, but it doesn´t give you a GOOD night´s sleep because of certain compounds it contains that keep some organs (like your stomach) active. Don´t engage in any exercise too close to bedtime because it increases heart rate, akin to making you excited, and in effect making you unable to fall asleep.
Make sure that everything is nice and quiet by the time you get to bed. Find a bed that you´re comfortable sleeping in. Turn out the lights to help you sleep better.
Stop looking at that clock! You will get stressed out if you do, and it could keep you awake even longer. It would be better if the clock is nowhere near your bed. If you need an alarm clock, turn its face away from you.
Some people actually find some sounds to be helpful in lulling them to sleep. A droning sound that goes on and on, like the whirring of the electric fan or the air conditioner, can help filter out irritating sounds like the noise of horns honking in the night. Set your room to a temperature that makes you comfortable enough to fall asleep.
Decide on your sleeping schedule and stick with it. Even if you have work and it entails different shifts, stick to a schedule that you could follow most of the time. Don´t take too many naps because it reduces the likelihood of you falling asleep right away at night.
Don´t keep on complaining about not being able to sleep. It just makes you stressed out. Relax. Have a nice warm bath to relax and soothe your body. Try herbal remedies. You could also attend therapy sessions that help relax your body, like meditation. Sex is another great cure. The main purpose is for you to relax enough to fall asleep. These are some tips to get rid of insomnia. You shouldn´t ignore the consequences brought about by insomnia because it produces stress and negatively affects your health. Try out these methods, and have pleasant dreams!
