Insomnia - the major Sleep problem of modern life
This problem is the result of a faulty lifestyle. Late nights, alcohol and tobacco consumption, lack of exercise, uncontrolled career ambition, greed, jealousy and even lust lead to difficulty in falling asleep or to maintain sleep. This is called Primary Insomnia. Taking drugs or alcohol to deal with primary insomnia only worsens the problem and leads to further disturbance of the mind and body. The best way to mange this disorder is to correct faulty habits and faulty lifestyles, followed by what is called as SLEEP HYGIENE
SLEEP HYGIENE:
1. The bedroom should be used only for purpose of love and sleep, which means avoid office work in the bedroom, avoid discussing family problems in the bedroom, and avoid TV in the bedroom.
2. The sight of bedroom should spontaneously push the mind into the sleep mode. This is possible if you condition your body and mind to a clean, cozy, dimly lit bedroom with very soft and soothing music. Bright lights to be avoided. No laptops or cell phone browsing should be allowed once you are in the bedroom.
3. Light exercise like a walk or basic yoga and meditation is preferable, but heavy exercise should be avoided. Severe exercise stimulates the brain and keeps you awake.
4. Dinner should not be too heavy.
5. No stimulants like tea, coffee, tobacco or alcohol before bedtime.
6. A hot bath and a glass of hot milk with sugar helps promote sleep.
7. No scheming, politicking or gossiping ... Family problems should never enter into the bedroom.
You will have a good night's sleep. Sweet dreams more
