Can’t Sleep? Here Are Some Suggestions to Help Solve Your Problem
Insomnia is a problem that plagues people of all ages. I for one have had difficulty sleeping since I was young. The older I got, the less problems I’ve had. However, there are still nights when I just cannot fall asleep. Through the years I have picked up some tricks to aid in my insomnia. Here are a few tips for the person having trouble sleeping.
A common mistake people who suffer from insomnia make is insisting upon staying in bed even when they cannot fall asleep. The longest one should do this is roughly one hour. After that, continuing to lay down is just counterproductive. If you’ve found yourself in bed for a long period of time without falling asleep, try getting up and reading something that won’t keep you captivated. A good example would be a short magazine article or even a newspaper clipping. Don’t read something that will keep your attention, such as a novel. If reading doesn’t work, the television or radio is another option to consider. Just as with reading material, putting on a movie or show that will keep your attention is not the purpose here. Sometimes I’ll put ESPN on if it’s late at night, as they often show a replay of a game which I already know the conclusion to. I can keep the game on without wondering what happens, thus I don’t feel like I’m missing anything if I close my eyes. The point is to be doing something other than just being still.
