I think it is no secret for many of you that our psychological state and mood is largely dependent on our physical condition. And a very important factor for getting excellent physical and, as a result, psychological state, is a healthy sleep. Sometimes nervousness and even aggressiveness is a consequence of "lack of sleep". But many of us, despite the frantic pace of life and terrible fatigue, suffer from insomnia.
Yes, and I also, until recently, had problems with sleep: I spent the whole day in household chores with the child, and in the evening I will put the baby to bed, finish all my chores, take a shower and lie down … I still cannot sleep, although it seemed that I was so tired that I would just touch the pillow and immediately fall asleep - but it was not there. And then, when I fall asleep, I sleep restlessly, I dream something all the time - I don't get enough sleep terribly.
And I know that many have the same as mine.
So I decided that I needed to do something about it. Found several ways to improve sleep that worked for me. I am happy to share and hope that they will help you:
1. Great deal regime
It is not for nothing that we have been accustomed to the regime since childhood. If you go to bed at the same time, the body gets used to it and as soon as you go to bed, you will immediately fall asleep. Moreover, it is imperative to go to bed before midnight (I do not know where it came from), but many write about this and from my own experience I will say that the earlier I go to bed, the easier I get up in the morning, with the same duration of sleep. Well, we all know that you need to sleep at least 6-8 hours, and preferably 8-9.
2. Correct bed
A prerequisite for a good sleep is the right bedding. Moreover, this is not only a mattress and pillow (preferably orthopedic), but it is also worth buying good quality bedding made from natural fabrics.
3. Fresh air
There is no need to explain here for a long time - fresh air is always useful for everyone and helps to sleep better, so try to ventilate the bedroom before going to bed.
4. Movement
Physical activity is very good, 4-6 hours before bedtime. They charge the body with vigor and energy precisely for this period of time, and when this energy from exercise ends, the body relaxes and this will help you fall asleep easier and sleep more calmly. After all, basically, you and I feel the psychological or emotional fatigue accumulated during the day, but after physical exertion, it is easier to fall asleep.
5. Do not overeat at night or drink invigorating drinks
If you eat at night, then your body will direct all its energy to processing food, and not to recuperate for normal functioning tomorrow. Well, with invigorating and energy drinks, I think it's understandable.
6. Water procedures
Having taken, before bed, a warm relaxing herbal bath, or a shower, you will definitely sleep better.
7. The correct posture for sleeping and getting rid of obsessive thoughts
The most correct sleeping position is the supine position with a straight head. At first, this position seems very uncomfortable, but gradually you will get used to falling asleep like that and you will succeed easily. In this position, all organs are located in the correct position, nothing is pinched, nothing is pinched or numb, the blood circulates in the body freely and easily, and this, in the best possible way, affects the quality of your sleep. In order to learn how to fall asleep in this position, and at the same time get rid of obsessive thoughts that constantly creep into your head, you need to lie down and relax the whole body, starting from the tips of the fingers, ending with the hair on the head, and relaxing a certain part of the body say to yourself "my left big toe is completely relaxed, my middle toe on my left foot is completely relaxed … my right knee is completely relaxed, etc.""when you get to the hair (if you get there), then you certainly can't help but completely relax and stay awake. Moreover, this saying to yourself will gradually displace obsessive thoughts …
There are, of course, many more factors that improve or worsen our sleep, but if you regularly use the data from your family, then the result will not be long in coming.
Good sleep and pleasant dreams!
