Have you been lying awake and not going to sleep at night? There could be several reasons why this is happening, and most of them won't cost any money to remedy. Our normal body rhythms say that when the light goes out (or the sun sets), it's time to put our heads down and go to sleep. We've learned to stay awake for a few hours in the evening by lighting candles or inventing electricity and using that to power our lighting fixtures, but by 9 or 10pm your body begins to naturally tell you its time for bed.
If you can incorporate a gradual dimming of lights into the couple of hours before you go to bed, then the body will be able to wind down naturally. Do not turn on the TV in your bedroom as the light makes us think that the sun has come up already. Also, if you can read a non-stimulating book it will calm your mind. Something like a horror novel or a article mystery is not a good choice - the former could give you nightmares and the latter will have you thinking too much - trying to solve the mystery.
Make the bedroom as quiet as possible - you can mask some noise with other, more soothing sounds like a rainfall or forest waterfall. A vaporizer can be used to extract the essential oils from herbs like chamomile flowers which have long been used as a sleeping aid and relaxant. Do not eat at least two hours before going to bed, and don't eat spicy food if it affects you, as you don't want to feel like your stomach is practicing a Bollywood or a Latin dance.
The temperature of your sleeping room is critical. About seventy degrees works good for most people, maybe even a few degrees lower. How often have you woken up or found it hard to get to sleep because your spouse likes a pile of blankets on top of them and the heat makes you feel like you're in the Sahara, and wakes you up in the middle of the night? Start cool and stay cool - set your thermostat to a comfortable zone and throw back the covers except for a sheet. Try and wear a loose cotton nightshirt to bed. If you are a diabetic, wear socks. Cold feet in a diabetic often occurs because of poor circulation, and you don't want to stretch out and make your spouse fly out of the bed in shock because of those ice blocks you call your feet!
Be safe, and sleep well. |
