1, the most basic thing is to be mentally prepared. If the elderly have temporary insomnia, they will soon start to worry about falling asleep after lying down, which will aggravate the degree of insomnia because of worry. Therefore, we should take a natural attitude towards the symptoms caused by insomnia, so that its influence on people will be less and less.
2, in order to avoid their insomnia, the elderly should also pay attention to the regularity of work and rest time. Sleep at night and do some physical exercises during the day, such as running in the morning, walking and playing Tai Ji Chuan. Go to bed when you are sleepy. It's best not to read or watch TV in bed.
For the elderly who often suffer from insomnia, the diet should be light and nourishing. At the same time, avoid smoking and drinking, and do not drink strong tea or coffee. Moreover, it is best to drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed.
In addition, the following drinks can be tried by the elderly themselves. Lily porridge-boiled japonica rice, add lily, lily will be soft and rotten; Lotus seed porridge-soaked lotus seeds and soybeans, boiled with japonica rice and millet into porridge, and seasoned with honey; Lotus seed almond paste-wash lotus seeds, add water and boil for 20 minutes, then add almond paste into the pot and mix well.
4. The right environment also helps to fall asleep as soon as possible. One of the ways for the elderly to lose sleep is that the bedroom should have proper brightness, air circulation and temperature to avoid all kinds of noise, and the bedding on the bed should be clean and soft.
In addition, physical activity contributes to normal sleep. Therefore, we should maintain a certain amount of physical activity during the day, especially regular exercise. There should be enough time for outdoor activities and exposure to the sun in the afternoon.
