10 Habits to get rid of Insomnia (sleep disorder)

Sleep is a very important part of our lives. Insomnia (sleep disorder) refers to a sleep disorder in which it is difficult to fall asleep and a sleep maintenance disorder in which you fall asleep but wake up frequently or wake up too early. If you do not get enough sleep at night, you will become sleep deprived, causing drowsiness, fatigue, and loss of motivation during the day, disrupting your daily life and lowering your quality of life.


Insomnia, Sleep disorder



1) Avoid napping. It is not recommended to take a nap as it causes a vicious cycle of not being able to sleep at night if you take a nap because you are tired and sleepy during the day because you do not get enough sleep at night.



2) Set a regular bedtime. For example, if you decide to sleep for 8 hours, you must get up and leave the bed after 8 hours from the moment you start lying in bed, regardless of whether you slept or not.


3) If you do not fall asleep for more than 10 minutes in bed, get up, get out of bed, do simple tasks, and wait until you fall asleep. It is better to read a book than watch TV at this time.


4) Use the bed only for sleeping and avoid lying in bed to do other things or to think.


5) Even on weekends and holidays, set a regular wake-up time. Don't overslept on the weekend just because you didn't get enough sleep during the week.


6) Do not look at the clock even if you wake up at night.


7) It is recommended to exercise regularly every day and not exercise late in the evening.


8 ) Taking a warm bath about 2 hours before going to bed will help you fall asleep.


9) Avoid cigarettes, coffee, tea, cola, alcohol, etc. that interfere with sleep. Although alcohol has an effect of inducing sleep, it is not recommended to drink as it interferes with deep sleep, causing frequent waking and preventing deep sleep.


10) A feeling of hunger can also make it difficult to fall asleep, so it is helpful to drink warm milk, etc.
