Insomnia seems to be a common occurrence. It seems that it is no big deal. However, people who have not experienced insomnia are really hard to imagine how painful and desperate the pain of not being able to sleep at night, even if they are already very tired, but they are unable to fall asleep.
Today, I want to tell you about my story of self-healing insomnia and suggestions for my patients.
I was a self-healer for insomnia for nearly ten years. Now I can say without exaggeration that I can become an expert in insomnia.
caused insomnia at night due to a work task. In fact, work tasks are not a big task, but I didn’t know what happened to me. One night I thought about it, and then I couldn’t sleep any longer. That night, I had complete insomnia. After that, it seemed like I was caught in a devil and felt that I couldn't sleep anymore. Even if you don’t have any worries at work, you still can’t sleep.
is simply insomnia. The most important thing is that sleeping becomes one's own fear. When you think about and hear about sleep, you feel an indescribable pain in your heart. The feeling of feeling that you are against yourself is that you don’t want to let yourself sleep. Sometimes when you feel like you are about to fall asleep, a sudden voice will remind you, "Hey, you are going to sleep", and then you will wake up immediately with a shiver. Don’t mention how much I hated myself at that moment.
No matter how hard you try, you just can't sleep. The next day, I was very tired, my eyes were dry, and my reaction was slow. I felt like I was floating in the air when I was walking and doing things, as if I was in a dream, and the things I had experienced felt impressed but seemed uncertain. has a particularly bad memory and is easy to forget things. Every day, he is confused and like a walking corpse. It has been nearly ten years since I endured a life like
. Now when I think back on those years of insomnia, it is hard to imagine how I survived it. During , I also took various medicines to improve insomnia. Objectively speaking, there is a little improvement, but it is only a little improvement, and the basic situation of insomnia has not changed.
Later I thought I could not be so passive and rely on taking medicine. I began to look for various psychological debugging methods to learn Buddhism and Chinese studies culture. I hope that through such learning, I can help myself get out of insomnia. Fortunately, there were two books in this process that had a profound impact on me, namely "Emotional Self-Rescue" and "You Are Your Psychologist".
Especially the methods in the book not only helped me get out of insomnia, but also changed my anxious and uneasy mentality. Here I sincerely recommend that patients go and read these two books, I believe it will be helpful to you. The methods "Abstinence Method" and "Opinion Method" in the book
taught me how to accept the present and how to let it go. After nearly 5 months of practice, I completely got rid of insomnia. I believe that I will no longer have insomnia in my future life, because psychologically I am no longer afraid of insomnia. Even if I can’t sleep, I can still accept the present calmly without forcing sleep. This is the most important thing.
Basically, all insomnia try every means to make themselves fall asleep. This is why we can't get better, because we are doing the opposite, because sleep never depends on force, it is our instinct, a natural phenomenon. However, once we pay attention and try hard to get ourselves asleep, we are interfering with this natural phenomenon, which will make natural things abnormal.
So, today I want to give my patients three important suggestions:
1. After lying in bed, you can fall asleep when you can, and you can't fall asleep when you can't sleep. Don't force yourself to fall asleep. All of this is left to "natural".
2. Hold on and don’t look at the time repeatedly. If you look at the time once, twice, three or five times, it will be even less likely to fall asleep, which will continue to strengthen your anxiety, and the more anxious you are, the less sleep will not happen.
3. Persist in exercise. Persist in outdoor exercise for more than half an hour every day, which helps relax and improve your physical and mental state. Due to long-term poor sleep, the body must be in a relatively exhausted and overdrawn state, so sports meeting brings certain improvements.
Insomnia has never come. All the causes are caused by our inner creations. What we really need to face and change is our anxious and uneasy heart. Learn to get along with yourself, learn to accept the present, learn to let things go, and sleep will naturally be better, and all the situations in life will naturally be better.
