3. Insomnia is the difficulty to fall asleep or
stay asleep during the night. Although
insomnia is often only seen as difficulty
to initiate sleep, the truth is that sleep
disturbance can take several forms:
Difficulty to fall asleep while laying
down in bed
Waking up frequently during the night
Waking up too early in the morning
4. Here are some remedies for those
who suffer insomnia:
Drink a glass of warm or hot milk: Milk contains an amino
acid called tryptophan that stimulates the production of
the hormone melatonin. This is called the "sleep hormone."
Stay away from the computer: Trying to sleep while the
computer or television is on increases the risk of
depression, according to a study by Ohio State University
(USA)
Physical Exercise: Nothing makes you sleep better than
being physically tired, which is why it is recommended you
get in 20 to 40 minutes of exercise before bedtime.
5. Read a good book: Reading is known for its relaxing
effects that induce sleep. Not to mention of course
the intellectual and imaginative enrichment that
occurs in the mind.
Book your bed only for sleep: If you are used to
watching TV or working in bed, then it might make it
harder to relax at bedtime, so avoid doing these
activities in bed.
Sleep with comfortable clothes: Invest in
comfortable clothes to go to bed in, with breathable
materials that allow us to move during sleep.
Food before sleeping: Do not have a heavy meal,
energy or caffeinated drinks before bed time
6. Sleeping well will begin to provide
your body with a powerful change,
becoming more positive and seeing
life differently. It will help your
health, body and mind.
Good night!
