Your Mantra for a good night's sleep| 5 Ways to fight Insomnia in an easy way
Sleeping for a proper duration makes you healthy and counts for your better thinking. But I need to ask you: Do you get a proper sleep?
Many of us face the issue of proper sleep and many factors deprive us of getting proper sleep during the night. Let's talk about the factors first that don't let us sleep:
💀 Stress
💀 Anxiety
💀 Fear of future
💀 Drinking a lot of caffeine before sleep
💀 Irregular sleep pattern or work schedule
💀 More exposure to screens or deeply addicted to watching mobile phones, TV, kindle or any media
💀 Eating high-calorie food late at night or junk food
I am going to share my personally adopted methods to fight insomnia or mantra for a good night's sleep:
1. Establish a Consistent Sleep Schedule:
💤 Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's internal clock.
💤 Develop calming activities before bedtime, such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practising relaxation exercises.
💤 Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
💤 Reduce exposure to phones, tablets, computers, and TVs at least an hour before bedtime.
- The blue light emitted from screens can interfere with the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
2. Manage Stress and Anxiety:
💘 Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime.
- Opt for a light snack if you're hungry before bed. Eating heavy meals makes your stomach at work instead of letting your brain rest.
💘 Apply a stress-relieving cream or try using a soothing sleep mist.
💘 Try to schedule your work timings so that your mind starts relaxing 2 hours before going to bed. Avoid distractions if any.
3. Be Mindful of Sleep Quality:
💧 Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.
- Address any sources of stress through effective coping mechanisms.
💧 Try sleeping with correct posture and suitable height of pillows that enhance sleep.
💧 Try pouring 1-2 drops of Mustard oil or Desi Ghee for proper circulation of air in the nostrils that will guide you to sound sleep.
4. Get Regular Exercise:
💟 Engage in regular physical activity, but try to finish exercising a few hours before bedtime.
💟 Regular engaging yourself in suitable meditation or yoga helps in relaxation and relieves stress and anxiety.
5. Seek Professional Help if Needed:
💜If none of the tricks work then it may be some health issue so do consult your healthcare professional.
💜If you consistently have trouble sleeping, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying sleep disorders.
Conclusion:
Remember, individual preferences and needs vary, so it's essential to find what works best for you. If sleep problems persist, it's advisable to seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
