Tips to Cure Insomnia - How to Beat Insomnia and Sleep Soundly By Michael Lee
Has one of the most famous tips to cure insomnia (counting sheep) left you even wider-awake than before you started counting? Who could possibly fall asleep to the sight of fluffy, bouncy farm animals leaping over a fence anyway? But before you go reaching for that sleeping pill, read on for these effective tips to cure insomnia so you may finally catch some much needed Zs. Tip to Cure Insomnia # 1: Get yourself checked.If you have difficulty either falling asleep or staying asleep, then you may be suffering from insomnia. Fear not, you aren't alone. It's a fairly common sleep disorder and most of the world's population experience sleepless nights at some point in their lives. About a third of us, actually, are full-fledged insomniacs. Whatever the cause-stress, anxiety, fatigue, or depression-see your doctor for a more accurate diagnosis. It may well be a manifestation of some underlying health problem. Tip to Cure Insomnia # 2: Get your bed partner checked.Maybe the person lying next to you is to blame for your predicament. If his or her snoring shakes the very foundations of your living quarters, tell your partner to see a doctor and have his or her snoring problem checked up. It may be the result of an allergy, an effect of hypothyroidism, sleep apnea, or a deviated septum. In any case, seek medical assistance. Silence the snores so you'll snooze soundly. Tip to Cure Insomnia # 3: RelaxPractice relaxation exercises such as yoga, meditation, and tai chi. Lie in bed and breathe deeply for five minutes or until you fall asleep. Imagine yourself in a peaceful and quiet place, your own personal paradise. The idea is to be free of stress, even if it's just in your mind. Try to resolve any fights or problems before bedtime so you may have peace of mind and go to bed worry-free. Tip to Cure Insomnia # 4: For heaven's sake, get that leak fixed.If the faucet is leaking and the water drips are keeping you awake, a temporary solution would be to tie a piece of string around the tap, going all the way down to the sink, so the water will merely run down the length of the string noiselessly instead of crashing down with a heavy plink. Then when you wake up, seek permanent solution and call the plumber. Tip to Cure Insomnia # 5: Chuck the clock.The more you see time ticking away, the more anxious you get; and in that agitated state, it will be all the more difficult for you to get some shuteye. So don't look at the clock. Face it the other way if you must. If it's the kind that ticks and tocks annoyingly, get rid of it. Use a silent one instead, the type that doesn't have a second hand so you're not tormented every night with the sound of each passing second of precious sleep you lose. Tip to Cure Insomnia # 6: Sing yourself to sleep.There's a reason lullabies were invented, and if it works for infants, then it will probably work for you too. Have a horizontal concert and sing in bed. I have personally tried this and found that it does wonders. Do try to limit your playlist to the mellow, however, as livelier hardcore song selections might keep even the neighbors wide awake. Do away with drugs and sleeping pills.
