What to do if you have a bad heart and can't sleep

A bad heart affects people in many ways, especially for many people with heart problems, it is difficult for them to fall asleep normally at night. If you have trouble sleeping, in addition to actively treating your heart disease, you also need to do certain preparations before going to bed, such as sleeping when you are tired, leaving a small gap by the window, putting fruit next to your pillow, and creating a comfortable sleeping environment, all of which will help you sleep.

1. Go to bed only when you are tired

If you can't fall asleep after lying in bed for 15-20 minutes, get up and do other things (mainly things that don't stimulate you) and go back to bed when you are tired. Don't force yourself to go to bed quickly, as this will only cause stress and make you sleep worse.

2. Shake your feet

If the blood circulation in the whole body is poor, visceral disorders will occur, and sub-health signs such as headaches and loss of appetite will appear. Simple foot stimulation can improve blood circulation. This method can also stretch the muscles in the calves and inner knees.

If people who are afraid of cold in winter practice this method before going to bed, they will feel warm all over and it will help improve sleep.

3. Leave a small gap in the window

In the cold winter, people often close doors and windows in order to get a warm sleep. Little do people know that while it is warm, harmful gases are also stored in the bedroom.

According to tests by relevant departments, if doors and windows are closed for three hours, the indoor carbon dioxide content will increase by more than three times.

Experts recommend opening the window a little before going to bed at night to allow fresh air to flow in and expel harmful gases from the room in time. It should be noted that you should avoid headwind. If the bed is close to the window, it is better to sleep with your back to the window at night.

4. Put some fruit next to your pillow

In our daily life, we can cut fruits such as oranges, tangerines or apples, put them next to our pillow, smell their fragrance, and we can fall asleep peacefully. It turns out that the aromatic smell of fruit has a strong effect of calming the nerves.

5. Good sleeping environment

Experts suggest that a good sleeping environment is also important if you want to get a good rest. The sleeping area should be dimmed, and the bedroom should have thick curtains or blinds to block out outdoor light.

If there is a lot of noise outside, be sure to close the doors and windows when you sleep. In addition, comfortable and reasonable bedding is also beneficial to improving the quality of sleep.
