Ever had one of those nights you just can’t get to sleep. Does it happen night after night? How about when you wake up at three in the morning, looking over at the clock knowing you have to get up at five. Sleepybed.com has come up with 35 ways to help overcome your night time blues.
Insomnia is one of those afflictions that can be temporary and a minor annoyance, or long-term and life-affecting. Insomnia has ruined lives, caused lost jobs and promotions, lost relationships, and accidents. The cost of insomnia in the United States is estimated at over $100B.
There are three types of insomnia: initial, middle, late/ terminal. Insomnia is sometimes also classified as either primary or medical, and can be induced by stress or anxiety, or even be genetic. While persistent insomnia should be checked with your health care provider, short-term effects can be relieved or prevented in a variety of ways.
A couple of my favorites:
Laugh it up.
Laughter relaxes you, relaxes muscles, allowing you better chance of sleep. If you watch TV, don’t do it in bed.
Meditate.
If you are stressed out or distracted for any reason, your body is not relaxed and hence you’ll have a hard time sleeping.
Here are some more suggestions.
