What to do if you suffer from insomnia after taking hormones

First, stop taking hormones, and then have a peaceful mind. A happy mood is the guarantee of good sleep. Drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can also help find the cause of insomnia and solve your worries, so that you can sleep well in a good mood. You should also develop good work and rest habits. Listening to soothing music before going to bed can also help you develop a good sleep. You must pay attention to a light diet.

(1) A normal and natural state of mind. There is no need to worry too much if you suffer from insomnia. The more nervous you are, the more you force yourself to fall asleep, which will be counterproductive. Some people become even more nervous and uneasy when they suffer from insomnia for several consecutive days, believing that if they continue to suffer from insomnia, their brain will not get enough rest and they will either die young or get sick. The excessive anxiety caused by this kind of worry is more harmful to sleep itself and health.

(2) Find and eliminate the cause of insomnia. There are many factors that cause insomnia, as mentioned before. It is not difficult to find them as long as you pay a little attention. If the cause is eliminated, insomnia will heal itself. If insomnia symptoms are caused by illness, seek medical attention promptly. Don't think that insomnia is just a minor problem and not a disease and delay treatment.

(3) Relaxes the body and mind, which is beneficial for sleep. Take a walk outdoors for a while before going to bed to relax your mind, take a bath or soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, and then go to bed. This will help you fall asleep smoothly. There are many specific methods to induce the human body to enter a sleep state, for example: relaxation exercises, which have been popular among the people and can be used as a reference.

(4) Sleep induction. Listening to plain and rhythmic sounds, such as tapes of the sound of running trains, crickets chirping, dripping water, and the sound of spring rain, or music hypnosis tapes, can help you sleep and establish conditioned reflexes to induce sleep.

(5) Drink hot milk. Drinking a cup of sweetened hot milk before bed can increase the body's insulin secretion, increase the amount of amino acids entering brain cells, and prompt the brain to secrete serotonin, which promotes sleep. At the same time, milk contains trace amounts of morphine-like substances that have a calming and soothing effect, thereby prompting the body to fall asleep peacefully.

(6) Appropriate sleeping posture. Of course, sleeping posture should be comfortable and may vary from person to person. However, it is better to sleep on your side. Health expert Cao Cishan pointed out in "Sleeping Tips": "When lying on your left side, bend your left foot, bend your left arm, support your head with your hand, stretch your right foot, and place your right hand between your right thigh. Lying on your right side is the opposite." This sleeping posture is conducive to relaxation of the whole body and a good sleep.
