Statistics say that up to 20% of the Americans have some sort of sleeping problem, related either to not being able to get asleep, or waking up during night and not having a refreshing night sleep. So, if you have a sleeping problem you are not alone and you should read some of the things that are generally suggested. Some of these things come from people who are experts in health or related fields, other are common people advice, ones that have been used and given results. You should experiment. You can read here some of these suggestions.
* You should use your bed only for sleeping, and not for reading, doing paperwork, watching TV, snacking, or making phone calls.
* If just laying in your bad didn’t make you sleepy, then you can try some very well known methods, like counting the sheep or counting backwards (choose a number sufficiently high to get you asleep) so that your thoughts will be taken of your problems, past or future, and calm your mind in preparation for sleep.
* You can use deep breathing, moving the abdomen.
* Visualize some nice and peaceful place.
* Find a very boring book to read.
* You should make a sleeping program and observe it.
* Stick to a set bedtime hour, and don’t change it. Around 10 pm is a good time.
* Don’t use caffeinated beverages before sleeping (and we are not speaking only about coffee, but also about any other caffeine rich drink, a black tea or Coca Cola, for example) and stay away from smoking (that is good advice for anybody, with or without insomnia problems).
* Don’t drink alcohol right before bedtime – the sleep will not be a refreshing one.
* If you, avoid to sleep during the day.
* Wake up at the same time every day, and don’t sleep longer on weekends.
* Do aerobic exercise daily, but don’t do exercise shortly before bedtime.
* The illuminated alarm clock should stay away from your sight.
* It is preferable to use a firm mattress, and not a soft one, as it will give you a better position for the muscles, refresh the air and keep a lower temperature, not very high.
* Try using a drink before bedtime: some milk, warmed, or a lime tea. Onions eaten at night are good.
* Massage can relax you and prepare the sleep
* Music can have a relaxing effect.
* You can also use earplugs if you live a noisy neighborhood.
* Avoid watching stimulating TV programs and reading exciting books before bedtime.
If you haven’t found a solution, explore it further by going to a physician to exclude any other health problems (anxiety, breathing, and hyperthyroidism).
There is also another method that you can try, one that proved to be a life saver for thousands of people enduring insomnia. This method is natural, doesn’t create dependency and it gives immediate results, as many have said.
