What to do if you don’t sleep well at night? Here are two effective prescriptions for you

Not sleeping well at night is a psychological disorder. Many people are troubled by this problem. The main reason is that it is one of the symptoms caused by stress in life or work. Although poor sleep may not seem to be a serious symptom, it has a great impact on our living conditions. So let me share a few tips with you.

1. The bed can only be used for rest. Insomniacs should not read or eat in bed.

2. Thinking about problems while sleeping will only aggravate insomnia. In order to distract yourself, you can count or watch TV with a timer to fall asleep.

3. Don’t put an alarm clock in the bedroom. The ticking sound of the alarm clock and the glaring light from the pointer will make even normal sleepers unable to sleep well.

4. Sports and regular activities can help you sleep, but insomniacs should be careful not to do strenuous exercise within two hours before going to bed.

5. Don't drink coffee, tea, or alcoholic beverages or smoke at night, as these are stimulants.

6. Having regular bedtimes and waking times can have a calming effect. Therefore, insomniacs should go to bed at a fixed time and try to get up at a fixed time, even on weekends and holidays;

7. Eating too much at dinner will affect your sleep, so avoid eating too much at dinner;

8. Taking a nap may be a pleasure for some people, but it is not allowed for insomniacs. Anyone who sleeps during the day should not complain about not being able to sleep at night.

Here are a few effective prescriptions:

Warm bath

Taking a warm bath often has an immediate effect in relieving tension. We know that the temperature of water has different effects on people's emotions and mental state. For example, cold water below body temperature can improve a person's level of alertness, hot water above body temperature can promote blood circulation and increase the metabolic rate, and warm water close to human body temperature can calm people and stabilize emotions. So, if you feel like your nerves need some relief, try taking a warm bath before bed.

Foot Reflexology

Foot massage, also known as foot health care, is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine. It is very popular among people because it is simple and easy to perform, and has obvious effects in relieving stress and relaxing nerves. Foot massage is also a very good treatment for poor sleep. Many people have this experience and feeling. When they can't sleep, they get a foot massage, and sometimes they fall asleep while doing it. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, foot massage has a significant calming effect on the human central nervous system and can produce a definite calming effect. I suggest you give it a try.
