Do you lie in bed and are reluctant to put down your phone? According to statistics, 94.1% of people are unable to sleep well now, and about 90% of people cannot do without electronic products before going to bed. After finally putting down your phone, you opened the small theater in your brain. It’s difficult to fall asleep? 76% of people, like you, can’t sleep. If you are worried about not having a good sleep, you may have done these 9 things below.
1. Counting sheep
I don’t know when it started. Many people count sheep one by one when they can’t sleep, and they want to hypnotize themselves. In fact, counts and are useless, as this will only make you more and more anxious and more difficult to fall asleep.
2. Do not use the bed as a bed
The bed can only be used to sleep. Don’t read books, watch TV, watch mobile phones, exercise, play games, or eat in bed. If it’s a bit exaggerated, don’t even sit by the bed. We must establish a strong enough connection between the "bed" and the "sleep".
3. Play with your phone before going to bed
If you can’t sleep, put down your phone quickly. The world on your phone is so wonderful, how can you bear to fall asleep? If you are turning on the lights and playing with your phone, too bright lights will make you unable to sleep. If you turn off the light and play with your phone, the light from the small screen will also rob you of sleepiness, make you unable to sleep, and it will also hurt your eyes very much.
4. Drinking
You must not drink alcohol if you can’t sleep, and red wine is not good either. Some people may feel sleepy after drinking, and they will fall asleep while drinking, but in fact, alcohol will continue to swell in the body, affecting the sleep in the second half of the night, making people unable to sleep for a long time and unable to sleep well. If you develop the habit of drinking before going to bed, this trick will become less and less effective. When you can no longer sleep, you can only regret the empty wine glass.
5. Always thinking about "can't sleep"
If you can't sleep, you must find a way to make yourself forget "I just can't sleep", otherwise you will only worry. Don’t always feel that you have little sleep. You should know that some people are talented sleeping less. Although they sleep less, they have no problems with working and life during the day. That’s it.
6. Lying in bed while awake
If you can’t fall asleep in bed for 20 to 30 minutes, then get up decisively and leave your bed and bedroom! Go to the living room or study to listen to some soothing music (the sound should be small), and opening a "hypnotic" book is also a good choice. Be careful to leave the bed and wait until you feel a little sleepy before going to bed. If you still can’t sleep, repeat the above steps after 20 to 30 minutes. If you persist for more than 4 weeks, you will have surprises!
7. Sleep too much at noon
For most people, 15-20 minutes of nap is beneficial and helps to restore energy. But if you are a friend who can't sleep at night, you can try to sleep as little as possible or hold on until you stay. The work efficiency during the day may become temporarily worse, but you should leave all your sleepiness to the evening.
8. Fear of sleeping pills
Of course, many people’s insomnia can be solved through changes in their living habits, but some patients with more serious conditions need the help of drugs (not just sleeping pills). If this is the case, let go of prejudice against drugs and receive drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
9. Working overtime too late
End the worrying study or work early every day! Keeping your brain relaxed for a few hours before bed is very, very important for falling asleep quickly and improving the quality of sleep. How many of these 9 things have you won? If you prescribe the right medicine and change the bad habit of not helping sleep, the sleeping spirit will come.
