I used to suffer from insomnia a lot. Every time I thought about too many things, or was in a very excited or bad mood, I would suffer from insomnia. But now I am much better. I seldom suffer from insomnia and often fall asleep after lying down for a few minutes. At first, I accidentally came into contact with the hypnotic audio in Himalaya. Listening to it before going to bed really helped me fall asleep. Later I came into contact with meditation. I meditated for a few minutes before going to bed and fell asleep quickly. At that time, I continued to meditate for about a month, and the effects were immediate. Now I can sleep even without much meditation. I won’t go into details about how to meditate. Interested friends can go directly to Baidu. The essence of meditation is to clear your mind and relax your body and mind. The simplest way to fall asleep is to put down your thoughts, focus on your breathing, count the number of times you breathe, and gradually relax every angle of your body along with your breathing. Once your body and mind are relaxed, sleep will quickly come over you and you will naturally fall asleep.
However, there is actually another very important factor in insomnia, which is too many thoughts. For example, people who are stressed out or in a low mood are prone to insomnia. Because emotions drive thinking, and thinking stimulates and excites the brain. Once the brain is excited, it will be difficult for you to fall asleep. Therefore, people who often suffer from insomnia should take the initiative to solve their own psychological or emotional problems and let go of these problems. After all, just thinking is not very helpful in solving the problem. Only by fundamentally clearing up the problems in your mind can your insomnia be truly solved.
I think first I need to find out the cause of my insomnia. Is it because of current work pressure, life pressure or interpersonal relationships? Or is there something that excites me? What is the main reason for my thoughts? Or is it because of my body? Weakness causes excessive dreams.
First of all, it is recommended to adjust yourself: develop the habit of going to bed on time to keep the body's biological clock in a relatively stable and harmonious state.
Secondly, you must regulate your emotions. Mood fluctuations can also cause sleep disorders. Relax before going to bed and don't think about other things. If you really want to, get up and take a walk.
Third, you should adjust your diet. Do not drink coffee, strong tea and other refreshing foods before going to bed at night. You can drink some milk.
Fourth, before going to bed, you can play some soothing music or read a book to divert your attention, so as to avoid wandering thoughts and keeping you awake.
Fifth, put some soothing things such as orange peels or lavender on the bedside to reduce anxiety and depression, relax the mind, and help you fall asleep.
If the above methods have not significantly improved sleep, and the insomnia is more serious, it is recommended to seek help from a psychologist and drugs. Drugs can be simply divided into Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Now everyone has generally realized that Western sleeping drugs are very harmful and should be used with caution. Western medicine has no advantages in treating insomnia. Traditional Chinese medicine’s dietary therapy is good. There are also some ointments for insomnia, which are basically food-grade, such as the yellow powder developed by the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Qi Ginseng Herbal Cream and Yumai Lily Herbal Cream need to be taken according to your own physical condition. It is best to take them under the guidance of a doctor.
With the accelerated pace of life, many people have problems with insomnia. Insomnia directly affects people's physical health. Long-term insomnia can make people upset and exhausted, and can also cause headaches, memory loss and other problems. So, what should you do if you have insomnia?
