What should I do if I really can't sleep

Insomnia is a common phenomenon in normal times. Many people have experienced insomnia. Generally speaking, there are many reasons for insomnia, such as high stress, excessive tension, or some people are too excited or too sad before going to bed, etc. These can all cause insomnia. If you want to fall asleep quickly without insomnia, try not to think about unhappy things before going to bed, and you can also listen to some soothing music.

There are two main methods people provide for dealing with insomnia. One is to relax the brain through mental self-control, and the other is to produce fatigue through physical overwork. My unique trick is simple, easy to understand and practical. It is to relax your eyes. Yes, don't try to restrain your thinking, which often backfires. Just relax your eyes, because eyes are the switch of thinking. Even if you close them, whether you can fall asleep or not has a lot to do with your eyes.

My brain always likes to think about things, so every night when I close my eyes and go to bed, my brain will wander to all kinds of things. The more I think, the more active my brain cells become, and the more active they are, the more I can't fall asleep. Even if my brain feels very tired and confused, I still can't fall asleep. Later, I started to study the causes of insomnia myself, and I really discovered the secret. Now I can fall asleep in 10 minutes if I want to with this method. My insomniac father also said goodbye to insomnia with this method. Here is a method that I think is more feasible.

Do an experiment first, just keep your eyes open, don’t close them yet.

1. Try to move your eyes closer together (just don't make them cross-eyed), then lower your head and try to focus on thinking about a problem. At this time, do you find it easier to concentrate and your thinking ability is particularly strong?

2. Try to frown, then lower your head and try to concentrate on thinking about a problem. At this time, do you feel that your eyeballs are moving closer to the middle like above? Do you also feel that your thinking ability is just as strong? This is why we always like to frown when we are thinking about a problem, because only when our eyes are focused in the middle can our attention be concentrated, and it is also easy to frown when our eyes are focused in the middle.

3. Try to move your eyes to both sides, then lower your head and concentrate on thinking about a problem. At this time, do you find that your ability to think about a problem has suddenly decreased? I am always unable to concentrate and mobilize all my brain cells, and my brain is in a relatively blank state (not completely unable to think).

4. Try to spread your eyes to both sides. Did you find that you cannot frown while spreading your eyes to both sides? By the way, it’s impossible to frown, so it’s hard to concentrate and your thinking ability will decline rapidly.

In fact, you can have the same experience with your eyes closed. There is no difference between opening and closing your eyes. So my conclusion is: human eyes are the switch of thinking. When a person's eyes move toward the center, the brain becomes very active, and the person will unconsciously start to think about problems with concentration. When the eyes move toward the sides, the brain is in a relatively blank state, and it becomes difficult to concentrate and think about problems.

So, my way of treating insomnia is very simple. When you lie in bed, don't let your eyes gather in the middle, but spread them to both sides. This way, it will be difficult for you to concentrate on thinking about problems, and your brain will be in a relatively calm and blank state, and you will fall asleep in a short while. Some scientists say that the human eye is one of the most energy-consuming organs in the human body. I think this makes sense because the eyes are the switch of thinking. When you put effort into your eyes, the brain is often also activated. So, relax your eyes. If your eyes are relaxed throughout the night, the quality of your sleep will be very high. If your eyes start to gather towards the center in the middle of the night, dreaming is almost inevitable and your sleep quality will be greatly reduced.
