Increasingly, modern people have problems with falling asleep. The reason for this can serve as an abundance of emotions and impressions received during the day. How to fall asleep in the case when thoughts and feelings do not give rest not only during the day, but also at night?
Here are some tips to help you cope with the problem.
- Pay attention to the place to sleep. The bed should be comfortable and the bed linen clean. Psychologists believe that the coloring of the bedroom set and the color of the interior of the room directly affect the emotional state of a person. Warm colors create a feeling of coziness and comfort, allowing you to fall asleep more quickly.
- Do not forget to ventilate the bedroom periodically. After all, in a stuffy room it's quite difficult to fall asleep. In addition, it is likely that after sleeping in a room that is not filled with fresh air, you may have a headache.
- With the help of an evening walk you can accelerate the arrival of dreams. Perhaps, the best place for a promenade is a park. And along the roads and trails to walk at all is not recommended.
- How to fall asleep quickly? In the evening, do not load your stomach with food.3 hours before bedtime prepare a light supper, and this will be quite enough. If suddenly you have a desire to taste something, eat a banana or drink kefir. But nothing more.
- Some people think that with the help of evening physical activities that cause fatigue, you can easily solve the question: "How to fall asleep?".But this is far from the case. Exercises will only inflame your body, even more provoking insomnia.
- You can quickly fall asleep with a warm, relaxing bath. However, please note that the water is not too hot. You can use sea salt or relaxing aromatic additives, for example chamomile or lavender oil.
- An hour before sleep, take a mug of warm tea from herbs( anise, mint, chamomile).This drink has a soothing and relaxing effect. You can also drink a glass of warm milk, but without the addition of honey or sugar.
- Some people are helped by reading a boring book. Take an encyclopedia or a volume of a novel that you have tried to read repeatedly, and try to open it again.
- Before going to bed you do not give rest to the experience of failure? And maybe your thoughts are busy thinking about plans for the future? How to fall asleep when the head is filled with ideas and reflections? Try to get rid of thoughts in general. Try to listen to your breathing. It is believed that this is a good way in the fight against insomnia.
- Lying in bed, open your eyes and quickly look from one object chosen by you to another. In this case, try not to delay your eyes on objects for a long time. After a few minutes you will feel that your eyelids are heavy, because of this you fall asleep more quickly.
- Try to imagine a picture or an illustration, and then try to delete it and zoom in( like in the camera).After that, you can try to rotate an imaginary image. If everything is done correctly, then this method will be a very effective tool in the fight against insomnia.
- Scientists have been proven that vitamin E affects a person's well-being. Its deficiency causes depression, fatigue and insomnia. Include in your diet foods containing this component( avocados, nuts, vegetable oils) and regularly take vitamins.
- Another way to go to sleep is to lie on your bed, relax all muscles and close your eyes. Without opening the eyelid, roll the apple up. This position is considered most natural during sleep.
- Strain all muscles of your body for 30 seconds, and then relax. Repeat this step 3 times. This method helps to speed up the process of falling asleep.
- Calm down and escape from everyday problems with meditation. Extinguish the light in the room, light the candle and look at the fire. Gradually you will stop thinking about the issues that worry you and fall into an unusual and pleasant state, when all thoughts seem to evaporate.
