The depth of sleep, its duration, as well as the content of dreams reflect the general psychological state of a person. Sleep is not an inhibition of activity and not a pause, during sleep the information received during the day is ordered, experiences, desires and aspirations work, everything that makes up the inner world of a person is processed. Sleep quality is generally related to a person's quality of life. Tension at work or family, and intrapersonal conflicts upset sleep. A person who is in an anxious and agitated state often has to deal with insomnia.
Insomnia can be provoked not only by internal discord, but also by overwork, received unpleasant information, negative events that can only be experienced over time.
Prevention of insomnia
Strenuous evening work should be avoided to avoid insomnia.
Consider the peculiarities of your sleep, listen to how you feel with different duration of sleep. Experimentally, you will determine the duration of sleep that suits you best.
If you are a fan of reading before bedtime, then you should select literature that does not resonate with your work situation or mental drama. It is better to give preference to books and films of an entertaining nature before going to bed.
Walking before bed is very useful in preventing insomnia. They are able to pacify and calm very many people. Experiment with the walking time and find out at what hour the walk most pacifies you.
Go to bed in complete darkness and provide fresh air to the bedroom. It is good if no extraneous sounds, except natural ones, can penetrate into the bedroom. Noise reduces the quality of sleep, so it is extremely important to attend to this issue.
The worst enemies of sleep are reflections and plans for the future. Imagine that you are separated from problems by a wall, that your unsettled affairs remain in another world. Leave the problems to the unconscious, it often makes itself felt as a wise clue in a dream. "The morning is wiser than the evening".
Do not control the onset of sleep. If you wait too long for the arrival of sleep, then it may not come at all. Control drives away sleep. The main thing that needs to be done is not to resist sleep, but to surrender to it, to allow it to “take you prisoner”.
If sleep is late for your visit, try to voluntarily relax the muscles of your face, then the muscles of your arms, legs, back and neck. Pay attention to your breathing. Breathe in and out …
Use your imagination. Imagine a place where you would be most comfortable and calm. It can be some real place from your past or one that seems pleasant to you. In this play of imagination, unexpected images can begin to arise. This is a signal that you are already in a state that is closer to sleep than to wakefulness.
You should not ignore the means that have a calming effect on the psyche, such as diets, the selection of scents for the bedroom, materials and fabrics for sleepwear and bedding. A warm bath or shower, milk and honey are soothing.
It must be said that insomnia should be perceived as a consequence of inattention to personal psychohygiene. Therefore, turning to sleeping pills is not an option, but only a patch for a hole in the bottom of the ship, into which an uncontrollable element is ready to burst at any moment.
