Our mind is often the best resource we have to create and solve problems. This is certainly true when it comes to insomnia. Those who have problems sleeping know far too While anxiety about how to not sleeping perpetuates the problem. Can not sleep, spears and round; worry about having to be at a certain hour the next morning, aggravated the situation and turn and shoot some more.
There are, however, something you can do to change the situation around.You can fool the mind to get better sleep. The mind, after all, can be tricked into compliance, especially if you work in reprogramming which is understood as a time of waking and sleeping time. Here are some tips you may find helpful to trick the mind into the performance of a sleep schedule.
a) maintain good sleep hygiene or setting a regular schedule and bedtime routine. Getting used to a fixed routine to bedtime, because the work programs of the mind and body with a set of expectations: the same time each night in bed with the same routines. Nothing satisfies the mind and its seriousness and expectation a repetitive action. You may experience insomnia the first night or two, but if they persist with the routine schedule, it is likely that by one week will have little trouble sleeping. According to a report in the Boston Globe, a study of insomniacs found that those who define and regulate their sleep / wake times, avoiding naps during the day and used only for your dream room, could reduce their sleep period (after sunset) to 54%. This percentage is significant because a control group with only relaxation therapy experienced a 16% reduction in a placebo group, while only showed a reduction of 12%. Maintaining good sleep hygiene is a way to trick the mind to get better sleep.
b) lowering the temperature of the room before bedtime. Cold temperatures make for better sleep because they can mislead the body to lower its temperature, a prerequisite for deep sleep. The body temperature is triggered by an internal clock. Although the temperature body average for humans is about 97 degrees F, which fluctuates in a regular pattern on a daily basis. The body temperature reached its low (around 88 degrees F) 3-6, after rising steadily in the morning before falling again about 3 hours.
c) The use of socks and gloves to bed can also trick the mind and body in better sleep. The socks and gloves to dig blood vessels in the hands and feet, a necessary step to induce sleep, according to a Swiss study. In this study, researchers found that the body prepares sleep, blood vessels in the hands and feet swell. This dilation precipitates the cooling of blood flowing through open channels near the surface skin when the fall in body temperature, the dream continues automatically.
d) Do not go to bed hungry. Hunger remains alert and tense. A snack at bedtime, which contains the amino acid tryptophan is the best. The body converts tryptophan to chemicals that induce sleep. Have a small serving of lean turkey (rich in this amino acid) with a piece of bread is best. Alternatively, oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk (also rich tryptophan).
e) If the stomach problems like heartburn or acid reflux prevents the rest of a good night, think sleeping on the left side. Studies show that patients who sleep on the left side are less likely to suffer from acid reflux. According to Dr. Anthony A. Poli-Star, a gastroenterologist New York and an assistant professor of medicine at New York Medical College, when you sleep on your side, stomach is higher the esophagus, allowing food and stomach acid to slide up your throat. However, when you sleep on your left side, which in turn conditions and stomach acid slides down.
f) Focusing on staying awake rather than trying sleeping in May do the trick as well. In what is known as "paradoxical intention" spirit which seeks to be awake soon relax the mind which is trying to sleep. If you are not asleep after 30 minutes left to sleep, get up and read a book – preferably one you know is boring and tedious. Research shows that more time awake in bed, the less likely it is to sleep a good night. Much better get up, do something else until you feel sleepy.
g) To have at least 1-2 hours of sun per day is another trick to get better sleep. The Research suggests that sunlight enough that our biological clock not on the runway. Out master clock is a small group of cells located deep the brain in an area called the hypothalamus. This area controls basic functions such as food intake and temperature body. This set of nerve cells is influenced by the light that regulates the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that controls the circadian rhythm body (when you sleep and when we stay alert). During the day, sunlight decreases production of melatonin (which is why we feel alert during day) night, the production of this hormone increases, allowing us to feel relaxed and sleepy. Introduction 2 hours of sun during the day which will remain after the natural cycles of sleep and body.
If you still have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, make sure to consult a doctor because insomnia may be caused by physiological conditions such as sleep apnea, menopause or depression. Some medications can disrupt sleep include antidepressants, beta-blockers, diuretics and analgesics.
