Sleep or wakefulness is a normal physiological process, but it is not an activity that can be completely controlled by humans, but a passive process. It is not like certain activities of the human body that can be carried out according to human will. People with insomnia often struggle with inducing themselves to fall asleep. In fact, early mild insomnia can often benefit from self-adjustment methods. The details are summarized as follows:

(1) A normal and natural mentality. Don’t worry too much if you have insomnia. The more nervous you are, the more you force yourself to fall asleep, which will be counterproductive. Some people are even more nervous when they have insomnia for many days in a row. They think that if their brains cannot rest like this, their life span will be shortened and they will also get sick. Excessive anxiety caused by this kind of worry is more harmful to sleep itself and its health.

(2) Seek and eliminate the causes of insomnia. There are many factors that cause insomnia, as mentioned before, and they are not difficult to discover as long as you pay a little attention. When the cause is eliminated, insomnia will heal itself. For insomnia symptoms caused by diseases, you must seek medical treatment in time. Don’t delay treatment by thinking that insomnia is just a minor problem and not a disease.

(3) Relax the body and mind, which is good for sleep. Go for a walk outdoors before going to bed to relax your mind, take a shower or soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, which will be beneficial to falling asleep smoothly without any harm. There are many specific methods to induce the human body to enter a sleep state, such as relaxation techniques, which have been spread among the people and can be used. In addition, two simple and easy methods are introduced:

① Close your eyes and enter silence. After going to bed, first close your eyes, and then open them slightly to maintain some contact with the outside world. Although mental activities are still operating, the tension of sympathetic nerve activity has been greatly reduced, inducing the human body to gradually enter a sleepy state. .

②Mingtiangu method. After going to bed, lie on your back with your eyes closed, cover your left ear with your left palm, cover your right ear with your right palm, and tap the back of your head with your fingers to make it hear a whirring sound. Bounce the number of times until you feel slightly tired. After stopping bouncing, slowly bring your head closer to the pillow, with the back resting naturally on both sides of your body, and you will fall asleep quickly.

(4) Sleep induction. Listening to plain and rhythmic sounds, such as tapes of trains running, crickets chirping, dripping water, and the patter of spring rain, or musical hypnosis tapes, can help you sleep and can also establish conditioned reflexes to induce sleep.

(5) Drink hot milk method. According to research, drinking a cup of hot milk with sugar before going to bed can increase the secretion of insulin in the human body, increase the entry of amino acids into brain cells, and promote the human brain to secrete serotonin for sleep. At the same time, milk contains trace amounts of morphine-like substances, which have a calming and tranquilizing effect. This promotes the human body to fall asleep peacefully.

(6) Suitable sleeping position. The sleeping position is of course suitable for comfort and can vary from person to person. However, it is better to sleep on your side. Health expert Cao Cishan pointed out in "Sleeping Tips": "Lie on your left side and bend your left foot, bend your left arm, support your head on your hand, stretch your right foot, and place your right hand between your right thighs. On the right side, The opposite is true for lying down. "This sleeping position is conducive to relaxing the whole body and sleeping peacefully.

(7) If you are tired and have difficulty falling asleep, you may wish to eat fruits such as apples, bananas, tangerines, oranges, and pears. Because the aroma of this type of fruit has a sedative effect on the nervous system; the sugar in the fruit can inhibit the cerebral cortex and make it easier to enter a sleep state.

(8) If you are on a business trip and are unable to adapt to the environment and suffer from insomnia, you should be mentally prepared first, take the initiative to adjust, and be prepared, so as not to worry about not sleeping well due to nervousness. At the same time, you can also use the above sleep-aid methods to avoid insomnia.
