How To Cure Insomnia: 3 Tips To Help You Shut Down Your Brain & Get A Real Nights Sleep

Time never passes as slowly as when you’re lying in bed, awaiting sleep which you know will never come.

Dreading the next day doesn’t help, knowing in advance that you’ll be chugging on coffee which will simply make you twitchy without really causing an alert feeling. It’s estimated that 10% of the population suffers from insomnia.

Most sleeping difficulty is caused by stress. If it’s work-related, vow to check it at the door when you leave for the day (and MEAN it). Write down whatever you need to remember tomorrow so that your head is free of the “to do” list at night.

Try to spend some time before you go to bed with pleasant activities…watch part of your favorite movie, visit your favorite amusing website, take time to catch up with a (quiet) activity that you find emotionally restful. Don’t fight with your spouse or yell at the dog!

Be sure that you’re not getting physically wound up. Are you working out late in the day? Drinking coffee, cola, or green tea past morning? Try doing without past noon. Take a relaxing bath before you go to bed. Do not try to force sleep.

Avoid things like:

*Eating Late
*Exercising just before bed
*Watching New Shows or Emotional content
*Thinking too Much!

Go to bed when you’re tired. If you can’t sleep, get up and read a book or watch tv. And think about what you could do for your peace of mind…take a vacation, take a day off, ask your spouse to be in charge of a stressful task.

To conclude you need to relax, so some deep breathing and unwind before going to bed.
