10 Foolproof Tips for Better Sleep
December 30, 2007 |
There was a period in my life when I had a lot of problems with sleep. It took me very long to fall asleep, I was easily awaken, and I simply wasn’t getting enough of rest at night. I didn’t want to take medication and this led me to learn several tips and tricks that really helped me to overcome my insomnia.
Some of these tips I try to follow regularly.
1. Don’t worry about not getting enough sleep. Try not to worry about how much you sleep. Such worrying can start a cycle of negative thoughts that contribute to a condition, known as "learned insomnia". Learned insomnia occurs when you worry so much about whether or not you will be able to get adequate sleep, that the bedtime rituals and behavior actually trigger insomnia. 10 Foolproof Tips for Better Sleep - Dumb Little Man
