Many of us are fortunate to get adequate rest to function optimally. However, if you or someone you know frequently experience insomnia, the following might help you to do away with it, or at least deal with it:
First of all, know that while insomnia may feel extremely uncomfortable, it is highly unlikely to cause your sudden death! That's important and should provide a bit of relief!
Second, struggling with insomnia only serves to increase how much you worry, which will further keep you from falling asleep.
One way, though not the only way, to deal with insomnia is to do something with the hours or moments that you can't fall asleep. Watch a movie in a different language, color in a coloring book, or draw a picture. Basically, take advantage of being awake! Whatever you do, do it in a relaxed manner. No struggling. Relax.
Another way to deal with insomnia is to write down whatever is on your mind to free your mind from having to struggle with trying to remember what you need or want to accomplish for the following day.
I hope the above tips are helpful.
If you have a tip you would like to share, feel free to leave a comment. Your thoughts are most welcome!
Best wishes for our (yours and mine) optimal health and wellness!
