Insomnia might affect you due to hereditary or stress related reasons as well as for many other reasons like as a side-effect of some medicine or illness. You can cure insomnia with medical treatment but that often has side-effects so try these 6 tips that work most of the time.
Comfort
An uncomfortable bed or unfavorable room temperature might be the cause of your insomnia. Get a bed that’s soft but bouncy and not the type that would go down with your weight. Get enough pillows and make sure the room is quiet and pleasantly warm/cool.
Consume Alcohol Systematically
Alcohol induces sleep but too much alcohol tends to wake you in the middle of your sleep with nausea and a hangover. Have just a glass or two of wine or whatever you like an hour before bedtime.
Avoid Caffeine In The Evening
Start your day with coffee but in the evening stick to just plain fruit juices as caffeine stimulates the brain to stay awake.
Time Your Dinner Right
You can call it dinner or supper but you need to have a fixed time for it and that has to be at least an hour before bedtime but less than two hours so that you’re not feeling uncomfortable being too stuffed or hungry.
Bedtime Sugars
Suck on something sweet or just a teaspoon of honey before brushing and going to bed as sweet food relaxes and sedates you mildly.
Tryptophan
Drink a glass of lukewarm milk or chew on some cottage cheese or cashews to let the tryptophan ease your brain and body.
