How to sleep after a nightmare

Insomnia associated with prolonged alcohol abuse is familiar to almost every alcoholic with experience. Great difficulty falling asleep, superficial sleep, nightmares and waking up in the middle of the night with the inability to fall asleep further - all this is a retribution for the indomitable craving for strong drinks.

Insomnia in a drunkard occurs due to the poisoning of his body with alcoholic toxins. The most difficult thing for a person to fall asleep after is drinking. Intoxication, which occurs as a result of unrestrained drunkenness, causes insomnia in the drunkard, which can last for several days. Sooner or later, any alcohol-addicted person begins to worry about the question of how to fall asleep after drinking.

Insomnia after the cessation of binge: varieties

There are several types of binge-drinking insomnia:

  1. Problems with falling asleep, in which the drunkard lies in bed for a long time and cannot fall asleep (this condition is accompanied by headaches and joint pains, panic and an increase in nervous tension).
  2. Light sleep, filled with restless visions and nightmares (a person can fall asleep, but wakes up many times during the night, because of which he does not get enough sleep, feels exhausted and very irritated).
  3. Absolute insomnia (usually occurs after prolonged binges), during which the patient either cannot sleep at all, or falls asleep with a superficial sleep, and wakes up a few minutes later due to the occurrence of visual or auditory hallucinations. Usually, over time, hallucinations do not go away, but become more and more realistic and plunge the person into panic. Such a state should cause serious concern among the alcoholic and his relatives, since it is a harbinger of the onset of alcoholic delirium (in the common people - delirium tremens).

Sleep disturbance after a drinking period is often accompanied by headaches, general weakness, vomiting, discomfort in the abdominal organs. There may even be spontaneous urination and bowel movements. All this makes a person's well-being unbearable. Well, how can you fall asleep here when it is not clear what is happening to the body? Often, against the background of a deterioration in the state of health, a drunkard develops depression, which, in the absence of the opportunity to sleep normally, only intensifies.

Finding himself alone with insomnia, an alcoholic person asks himself the question: how, after a binge period, to finally fall asleep and rest, forgetting about nightmares, visions and constant awakenings?

The most effective means of allowing the patient to plunge into the arms of Morpheus are sedatives, vascular and psychotropic medications.

But it is worth remembering that even the most harmless at first glance medicine can cause irreparable harm to the body weakened by alcohol intoxication if you start taking it without prior consultation with a narcologist.

The most effective medications for post-binge insomnia are benzodiazepine tranquilizers (Diazepam, Phenozepam, Tranquezipam, Oxazepam and others). These drugs have a pronounced sedative and hypnotic effect and are indicated for patients with an increased level of anxiety. A properly selected dose of a tranquilizer by a specialist will be able to return a drunkard to sleep in a matter of hours. Buying such drugs in a pharmacy without a prescription will not work, so in this case you can’t do without a narcologist.

If an alcoholic, exhausted by sleepless nights, still refuses to go to the doctor, he can try the well-known Corvalol as a sleeping pill. The composition of this heart medicine contains bromisoval and phenobarbital - components that are similar in their action to tranquilizers. Before taking Corvalol, the patient must read the instructions for the drug, since it, like all other medications, has contraindications. If during the day after the start of the use of the medicine the patient cannot fall asleep, he will still need to force himself to visit a narcologist.

Some men and women who have experienced sleep disturbances after binge try to restore it with the help of sedatives of plant origin (valerian tablets, Glycine, Persena). But falling asleep after taking these drugs may not occur, since their action is not designed to restore sleep in the post-binge period. In addition, the body, weakened after prolonged alcoholic libations, can react to the herbal components of drugs with an allergic reaction and further aggravate the patient's condition.

If an alcohol addict lives in a large city, he can ask his relatives to call him an emergency drug treatment team. In order to quickly return sleep, the doctors who arrived on call will put the patient on a drip. It is enough for a person to drip once, as in a matter of minutes he will fall asleep. Such a quick action of the dropper is explained by the fact that it contains sedatives that have a sedative effect, and blood-purifying drugs that effectively remove toxins from the body that have accumulated in it during the period of binge. Sometimes sleeping pills, potassium, magnesium, ascorbic acid and B vitamins are added to the dropper. The disadvantages of this medical procedure include high cost (from 2 thousand rubles per dropper) and the impossibility of carrying it out in small towns.

Detoxification measures in the fight against sleep disorders

If sleep is disturbed after drinking, you should not immediately try to return it with the help of pills. Sometimes simple actions aimed at cleansing the body of alcohol toxins help the patient get rid of insomnia. It is very important to drink a lot of liquid during this period, and not tap water, but sour compotes, fruit drinks, kefir, non-carbonated mineral waters. Drinking plenty of water will effectively flush the body, removing toxins from it along with urine that caused alcohol intoxication and insomnia. As soon as the patient's body is cleansed, his sleep will gradually be restored.

You can fight intoxication at home with activated charcoal. Coal, taken orally at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of body weight, perfectly draws toxins from the body. But if a person has a tendency to constipation, it is undesirable to use this method, since activated charcoal has a pronounced stool-fixing effect.

Often after drinking, a person has no appetite. But he must definitely try to eat, because the body, exhausted by alcohol, needs strength to recover quickly. It is best to cook chicken broth, sour cabbage soup, hodgepodge, rich borscht for the patient. Fresh fruits and vegetables will benefit an alcohol-dependent person, which cleans the intestines well, removing all toxins from it.

Folk recipes for alcoholic insomnia

In order to fall asleep after drinking, a person can use several folk recipes. For example, start using honey. This product has a calming effect and is able to fight any kind of insomnia, including alcohol. To normalize sleep, the patient is recommended to eat 100 grams of honey throughout the day, adding it to water, dairy products and herbal decoctions.

Hops have a calming effect. Those who, in the process of alcohol abuse, have problems falling asleep, can be advised to drink a decoction of hops. To prepare a sleeping pill, a couple of tablespoons of dried hops are poured with boiling water, let it brew for about 15 minutes, filtered and drunk like regular tea, adding honey to taste. An intoxicating drink should be drunk three times a day before meals. The decoction will not be able to return sleep instantly; to completely get rid of insomnia, you need to drink it for about 2 weeks.

Pumpkin will help calm the nerves and fall asleep. A vegetable cut into small cubes (approximately 1 cup) is laid out in 1 liter of boiling water and boiled for 15 minutes. Then the pumpkin, along with the liquid, is ground through a sieve or crushed with a blender and sweetened with honey. The resulting mass is drunk 200 ml in the morning and evening. In addition to restoring sleep, pumpkin activates the intestines, removing alcohol toxins from it, and returns strength to the body.

Every person suffering from alcohol addiction must understand that by going into a binge, he destroys his physical and mental health. Insomnia, following the end of the binge period, is an inevitability that can only be prevented in one way - to give up alcohol forever. And for those people who cannot do it on their own, you need to seriously think about the treatment of their fatal disease.

Thanks for the feedback

Insomnia after drinking can be of different types. The cause of agripnia (the scientific name of the presented condition) are such factors as the general condition of the body, how many years a person has been suffering from alcoholism, the duration of the last drunkenness.

Varieties of insomnia after binge are represented by the following manifestations:

  • complete lack of sleep - auditory, tactile, visual, olfactory hallucinosis is observed. Having nightmares;
  • night sleep is very sensitive, lasts a little - accompanied by a great desire to drink alcohol. Dryness in the oral cavity, light and loud sounds irritate, insomnia appears in the disorder;
  • poor sleep is accompanied by a long falling asleep - due to physical stress, a migraine appears, pain throughout the body. Hallucinations in a dream are not observed, but it is impossible to get rid of a feeling of panic.

After binge, nightmares are removed as a result of the toxic effects on the body of elements (ethyl alcohol) contained in alcoholic products. Getting rid of insomnia is necessary so that organ systems can recover from intoxication.

How to deal with insomnia after drinking

Very often, drunken patients try to improve their dreams with the help of sleeping pills, sedative drugs with increased dosage. An overdose of pills, of course, can normalize sleep, but this carries a huge danger.

There are quite a few drugs that help restore sleep after drinking, get rid of nightly “horror stories”. This is the most effective and fastest way to eliminate the feeling of panic and bad dreams.

Medicines restore the drinker's sleep, but, however, they also carry a danger. Before using any medicine, you need to consult a highly qualified specialist.

Lack of sleep after drinking is a psychological disorder that occurs as a result of alcohol abuse for a long time.

To restore the psyche, you must take:

  • vascular;
  • sedatives;
  • psychotropic medicines.

Most people are embarrassed by this condition, do not go to the doctor on time, self-medicate. This is fraught with serious adverse consequences.

If you can’t sleep after drinking alcohol, then you need to contact a medical institution for help. Based on how long the pathological condition lasts, the doctor may prescribe Diazepam or other benzodiazepine tranquilizers. They will help bring back sleep.

Insomnia medications

In no case should the following drugs be used without the appointment of a specialist, unless there is a great need for this. Especially when overdosing.

The doctor may prescribe:

  • Alzolama;
  • Valium;

  • Dimedrol;
  • Donormila;
  • Elenium.

If the patient has a sleep disorder, then it is better to take the following herbal medicines:

  • Motherwort tincture;
  • Rhizomes and valerian root;
  • Other collections of herbs of a sedative nature;
  • Grandaxin;

  • Iotredin;
  • Glycine;

  • Novo-passit;
  • Mexidol.

Also, be aware that although these preparations do not contain synthetic substances, they can still cause an allergic reaction. You have to be careful with the dosage of the drug you take. An overdose can cause severe side effects, up to "delirious tremens".

Narcologist for insomnia after a drunken state

With the loss of sleep after a long drink, something needs to be done. If medications are not able to help, and the patient has a nightmare all the time and because of him he cannot sleep, then the best way out is to call a narcologist at home.

This event is carried out anonymously, at any time of the day or night. The medical effect not only normalizes sleep, but also cleanses the body, relieves the hangover syndrome.

In order for toxic substances to leave the body, the narcologist installs a dropper. After instillation, the patient has the following favorable changes:

  • improves well-being;
  • the feeling of panic disappears;
  • neurosis passes;
  • the desire to take alcohol disappears;
  • nightmares disappear;
  • it becomes easier to fall asleep.

The doctor not only installs a dropper, but also develops an individual scheme for the treatment of alcoholism.

Eliminate insomnia at home

If the patient does not have the opportunity to call a narcologist at home, and he does not want to take risks by taking medications, then you can use the following safe methods of treating insomnia after a drunken state:

  1. Activated carbon. The medicine cleanses the digestive tract, thereby normalizing sleep. But it should be borne in mind that coal is contraindicated with a tendency to constipation;

  1. The use of a large amount of liquid. You can drink kefir, mineral water, sour compote, fruit drinks and other drinks in plenty. Thanks to this, toxins will quickly leave the body;
  2. You need to eat well. Shchi, borscht, fresh vegetables help to cleanse the body;
  3. Cleansing enemas also contribute to the release of harmful elements.

And of course, the most effective way to get rid of nightmares is to completely abandon the "green snake", that is, any kind of alcohol-containing drinks, even lightly alcoholic ones.

Good day, my reader!

Many people are interested in the question of how to restore sleep after drinking. Those who have dealt with binge drinkers are well aware of the state of agitation they are in after leaving the period of binge drinking. They suffer severely from headaches, nausea, aversion to food, and even the smell and sight of food. They have impaired coordination of movements, the possibility of normal thinking and adequate perception of reality. But most of all, such people suffer from insomnia, which is directly related to their alcohol abuse.

Alcohol is the strongest poison for the human body, which in small doses can cause short-term euphoria, and in large quantities and with frequent use, it destroys not only the physical body, but also affects the state of the psyche.

In practice, it turns out that severe alcohol intoxication is nothing more than poisoning with the decay products of alcohol. The liver cannot cope with intoxication and there is a violation of all body functions, including the work of the central nervous system. A state of overexcitation sets in, hormones, including adrenaline, are released into the blood in huge quantities. The state of increased aggressiveness and pugnacity, so characteristic of alcoholics, is mainly associated with it. If an alcoholic enters a binge, alcohol enters the bloodstream in such quantities that the body is simply unable to cope with it without help. If we compare a person with a computer, then alcohol is a virus that affects all systems and disables even the processor - the nervous system.

There is a certain dependence in alcoholic insomnia - the higher the “experience” of drinking, the longer and harder the condition lasts when the patient cannot close his eyes. This is due to the fact that an “experienced” alcoholic’s body is severely damaged and can no longer resist regular poisoning as actively as a person who has recently fallen into the clutches of a “green snake”.

After the end of the binge, the drunkard visits such a painful phenomenon as withdrawal symptoms. The body, weaned from its narcotic "source of happiness", experiences a real breakdown - the body literally requires a drink. This dependence can bring the patient to a lunatic asylum, suicide and death. If the binge can be interrupted, then in this situation the question of how to calm the patient and establish a normal, calm and deep wellness sleep is extremely acute. This is not easy to do in all cases. In this article, I already wrote,.

Treating insomnia after drinking at home

Since there is a direct relationship between the experience of alcoholism and the body's ability to self-heal, it is possible to talk about the possibility of improving sleep on your own only if the patient still has a strong enough body and drinking binges for him is an infrequent phenomenon. In a chronic heavy drinker, it is possible to cope with insomnia and general overexcitation and disorder of the nervous system only with high-quality and comprehensive treatment, which can be performed by a narcologist who specializes in this problem and has extensive experience in working with alcoholics who suffer from hard drinking.

Even after a short binge and for a "beginner" alcoholic, it is strictly forbidden to treat insomnia with medications on your own, this is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious, even fatal consequences. The maximum that can be done at home is to use home proven and affordable methods.

First of all, you need to reduce alcohol intoxication. If a little time has passed from the last intake of alcohol, you should try to clear the stomach and thereby reduce the flow of a new batch of "poison" into the patient's blood. To do this, you can give a weak solution of potassium permanganate or salt water to drink, it is not enough to induce vomiting mechanically, you need to wash the stomach well.

Due to the large number of strong drinks, the patient is usually severely dehydrated, so he needs to restore the balance of electrolytes. Everyone is well aware of the miraculous effect of cucumber and cabbage pickle. In fact, these fluids contain dissolved salts that help restore the water balance in the patient's body.

By reducing the level of intoxication, you need to try to stabilize the state of the alcoholic's nervous system. To do this, he will need a calm environment, a well-ventilated and shaded room, since bright light irritates the eyes and excites the nerves even more, increasing sleep disturbances. You will need a light but high-calorie diet, mild natural sedatives, for example, a decoction of chamomile, mint and other sedative herbs. It is very dangerous to use sleeping pills: firstly, it most likely will not work, and secondly, it can have an extremely detrimental effect on health, since not all medicines can withstand the combination with alcohol.

If the patient is a chronic alcoholic with long, heavy and deep binges, which were previously accompanied by various sleep disorders, and also has a variety of diseases, only an experienced specialist who knows how to treat insomnia after drinking can successfully deal with his treatment and normalization of sleep.

Methods for the treatment of sleep disorders

Long-term heavy binge leads to deep alcohol intoxication, which can be released only in a medical hospital. The selection of medications and methods of treatment is carried out by the doctor individually, based on the data of each individual patient.

In a specialized clinic, the patient is first of all trying to remove or at least reduce the withdrawal syndrome. For this, a special complex of drugs is used, and in some cases, blood purification is performed if alcohol poisoning is life-threatening.

After removing a threatening amount of alcohol from the body, doctors will try to establish the normal functioning of all organs. For this, a variety of drugs are used - supporting blood vessels and the heart, sedatives, and, if necessary, psychotropic drugs. The choice of drugs, their dosage and duration of treatment is entirely the prerogative of the attending physician.

Restoration of normal sleep is not always achieved quickly. In severe cases, the patient suffers for several days, sometimes sleep comes only for a few hours or is accompanied by delusional dreams and sudden awakenings from a feeling of falling, extraneous sounds or flashes of light before the eyes. The most important thing at this moment is not to break loose and not drink again. For the first time, a dose of alcohol can return the long-awaited sleep, but the very next day the situation with sleep disorders and insomnia will return and become even deeper and more dangerous.

The only radical remedy that will help restore not only normal healthy sleep, but the whole organism as a whole, is the rejection of the use of strong drinks. If you can’t do it yourself, you need to seek help from specialized medical centers where this problem is dealt with professionally.

How to restore sleep after binge, you will learn from the video below:

I, like Dr. Evdokimenko, prescribe Phenozepam tablets after drinking. Friends, before applying it, read.

Health to you and sweet dreams!

Insomnia is a serious problem for many people, and if you are faced with something like this, then use our simple recommendations for restoring healthy sleep, because sooner or later its absence will negatively affect the overall well-being of the body and appearance.

Causes of frequent insomnia

    Bright light. Often the cause of insomnia is bright light. It is known that the hormones that are responsible for falling asleep quickly can only be produced in the dark. Make sure that the windows are carefully curtained, and there are no other sources of light in the room. If this is difficult to achieve, then use a special sleep mask. Noise. Sometimes, we have to fall asleep to some annoying noise, and naturally this becomes one of the first causes of restless sleep. If you have such a problem, and you do not see its solution, then buy earplugs at the pharmacy - this will make it much easier for you to fall asleep. By the way, for some, on the contrary, it is the soundtrack that helps to fall asleep - for example, recording the sounds of nature. Air. Note that the bedroom should maintain the optimum air temperature - you should not be cold or hot. It is also important to avoid drafts and make sure that the air is always fresh - to do this, ventilate the room shortly before bedtime. Of course, if there is little oxygen in the bedroom and there are unpleasant odors in it, then it will not be easy to fall asleep. For such cases, we recommend not only to ventilate the room, but also to use essential oils of chamomile, lavender or linden. Pose. Poor posture can also cause insomnia. Try to lie down so that you are as comfortable as possible. It is also better to use a pillow of medium hardness - periodically turn it over in order to lie on a cool surface of the fabric. Decide for yourself what is more comfortable for you to sleep in - in spacious pajamas, or completely naked. Bed sheets. It is important not to forget about hygiene and change bed linen at regular intervals, because, of course, it is unpleasant to fall asleep on sheets and pillows that are soaked with sweat or simply dirty for other reasons. Choose a blanket that is not too heavy or too light.

How to fall asleep if you can’t sleep at a party or away

Many people find it difficult to fall asleep in an unfamiliar environment - not in their own bed, but in a hotel room or at a party. If you know that you, too, may have a similar problem, then take care of its prevention in advance. Earplugs. As a rule, in such cases, unusual sounds interfere with sleep - the noise of the road outside the window, some conversations, loud wall clocks, and the like. You can simply not hear all this if you stock up on earplugs in advance, which can be purchased at almost any pharmacy. Sleep mask. Also, an unusual environment around, bright light and other visual factors can be an annoying factor. This inconvenience is completely preventable when using a comfortable sleep mask.

How to fall asleep quickly in 1 minute anywhere

Falling asleep in a minute will be quite difficult for you if, in general, you do not have such a feature. The fact is that there are people who fall asleep, literally putting their heads to the pillow - the rest is not so easy to move to the realm of Morpheus in such a short period. In this case, only a suitable sleeping pill, or very strong fatigue accumulated during the day, will probably be able to help. There is also such a thing as “reverse psychology”. You should take action that is the opposite of what you want - in this situation, you need to try to stay awake. Lie down in bed, open your eyes wide, and mentally repeat: "I must not fall asleep, I must not sleep." According to some scientists, this method contributes to rapid falling asleep. Of course, this method cannot be called the most effective, but sometimes it still works.

The yoga method to fall asleep quickly

In turn, Indian yogis use this technique, which is also called "4-7-8":
    Calmly inhale air through the nose for 4 seconds. After that, the breath should be held for 7 seconds. Slowly exhale air through the mouth for 8 seconds.
Many experimenters note that this method helps to fall asleep quickly!

How to fall asleep if you do not want to sleep, but get up early

Avoid evening snacks If right before going to bed you want to eat something tasty, like a cake or a piece of cake, then it is better to overcome this desire. Otherwise, the level of sugar in the blood rises, and the desire to sleep, respectively, will decrease. If the cravings for a snack are too strong, choose something light and low in sugar. Create conditions for sleep If you need to fall asleep faster, then create all the conditions necessary for sleep. So what are we talking about? First of all, ventilate the room in which you plan to sleep. Take care of the freshness of bed linen, the absence of extraneous sounds, turn off the light or dim it as much as possible. It will also not be superfluous to drink a cup of warm herbal tea or milk - it is quite possible to add a spoonful of honey to any of these drinks. Get off the internet If you decide to surf the Web before going to bed, but you have to get up early tomorrow, then it is better to refuse this idea. Such a pastime rarely contributes to a quick fall asleep - most likely you will simply immerse yourself in the study of some information and you yourself will not notice how dawn is approaching.

What to do to fall asleep quickly when thoughts are distracting

Sometimes you can hear the advice that in order for sleep to come faster, you should "turn off all thoughts." Unfortunately, this advice rarely applies in practice. Some people can be distracted by reading at night, however, the measure is also important here - opt for some light and exciting work. If you do not classify yourself as a book-lover, then you can occupy yourself with what you like - draw, draw up some kind of plan, do simple needlework, and so on. By the way, you can also digress from your thoughts to some interesting movie. As soon as you notice that you start to feel sleepy, leave the chosen task, turn off the light and try to sleep. It also makes sense to consciously force yourself to switch to some other thoughts - think about something really pleasant. In this case, meditation is quite appropriate - imagine a picture that makes you feel positive. For example, you can close your eyes and imagine that you are sailing in a boat along a picturesque river, swimming in sea waves, walking around a flowering field on a fine and pleasant day. Think about what natural conditions you would like to be in now - imagine yourself in these conditions. Most likely, you once heard the recommendation that in order to fall asleep faster, you should count some animals in your thoughts - for example, sheep jumping over the fence. This advice may not help everyone, but it did not appear out of nowhere, and, at times, it actually turns out to be quite useful. Such an activity puts a moderate load on both hemispheres of the brain, and in such conditions it is easier for the body to switch to sleep. Of course, you can visualize other animals that do not cause negative emotions in you. To distract from unnecessary thoughts, we recommend that you lie down as comfortably as possible and mentally relax all the muscles of the body. Having achieved the desired result, stretch while lying in your bed - this will help the body to completely relax, relieve stress. Of course, in such circumstances, falling asleep is much easier. We also note that for some it helps to relieve stress by squeezing a pillow between the knees - this helps to relax, relieve pain.

How to learn to fall asleep quickly if you want to sleep, but sleep does not go

Ventilate the room As you know, in a cool room we fall asleep faster and subsequently sleep better - this is how our body works. When we fall asleep, the core temperature of the body becomes lower - the faster this happens, the faster sleep comes. Get ready for bed in the morning If you want to fall asleep faster, but you don’t always succeed, you need to do such a trick that has a wonderful subconscious effect: be sure to make your bed in the morning, hide bedding, clothes for sleep. According to the observations of scientists, people who regularly make the bed suffer less from insomnia than others. This small, but useful action, as it were, triggers the setting for sleep in our subconscious.

How to fall asleep faster with sleeping pills, pills, drops

If you have tried many methods, but failed to achieve the desired result, then it makes sense to pay attention to medications in the form of drops, tablets, or sleeping pills. Of course, the doctor must prescribe the medicine for you. If you decide to purchase some kind of light drug that is freely sold in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription, then be extremely careful when taking it later. Follow all the recommendations that are contained in the instructions. Do not increase the dose, thinking that in this way the effect will be more noticeable - this is not so! By exceeding the dose, you can only harm your body and cause serious health problems for yourself. So, which drugs should you pay attention to? It can be something based on herbs such as mint, valerian, chamomile, motherwort, and so on. In addition, tranquilizers are considered very effective, which are designed to calm the nervous system, dull emotions - they are often the only way out if insomnia is provoked by some serious stress. Sleeping pills, as a rule, affect nerve receptors, helping them produce the sleep hormone - of course , with the problem under discussion, this is a good way out. Also, do not discount the various vitamins. Quite often, the development of chronic insomnia occurs due to the fact that the body is in dire need of vitamins B and D, calcium, magnesium.

Ways to fall asleep quickly during the day

If you slept well the night before, then it is unlikely that you will be able to quickly fall asleep during the day without resorting to such an additional remedy as sleeping pills. However, if at night you slept restlessly or were completely awake, and now you want to catch up. Try doing the following:
    Lie on your back in a comfortable position (ideally in your bed). Close your eyes. Try to rotate your eyeballs under your lowered eyelids - first do it in one direction, and then in the other. Repeat each step of the action for a minute - as a result, it will take you two minutes to complete the exercise. However, in general, it should be repeated 5 times - this will take about ten minutes. Now you need to stretch your arms along the body. Try to relax, imagining how the tension is released from all your muscles - starting from the toes and going up and up. Pay special attention to relaxation facial muscles. Try to keep your breathing even.

What to do to fall asleep at night - folk remedies

By following certain recommendations, you will not have difficulty falling asleep at night. So, pay attention to some very effective tips.
    People who play sports should be aware that their last workout of the day should not be right before bedtime, but no less than three hours before it. At the same time, it is important to note that regular walks in the fresh air in the evenings, on the contrary, can be useful. If you have problems falling asleep at night, you should exclude daytime sleep from your daily routine - this way, the problem will probably be solved. A wonderful way to relax before bed is to take a bath or soul. It is better to give preference to water procedures with various useful additives - essential oils, foam, sea salt. Most often, the main cause of insomnia is stress, and if it is present in your life, you need to find a way to get rid of it. Before going to bed, it is important to be in a calm and relaxed state, so avoid watching heavy films, sitting in front of the monitor for a long time, talking in raised tones. Follow the regimen: try to go to bed at about the same time.

To fall asleep quickly and get enough sleep - proper preparation for sleep is important

Minimum excitement and emotions The more you worry during the day, the more likely it is that at night you will continue to mentally participate in past conflict situations, and, accordingly, you will not be able to sleep. Learn to control negative emotions! If you are faced with some kind of unpleasant circumstance, find an opportunity to calm yourself, get distracted at least in the first minutes, until the emotions subside. Starting to take care of your psychological comfort, for sure, you will bypass problems with sleep. Relaxing shower or bath Taking a warm bath with various aromatic oils or fragrant foam also contributes to falling asleep quickly. However, a warm shower also has a no less good effect. After water procedures, put on soft socks. Note that in the bedroom the air temperature should be about three degrees lower than the daytime temperature that is comfortable for you. Lie under the covers and try to sleep. Don't overeat at night A heavy dinner on the eve of sleep in no way contributes to falling asleep quickly. If you do not want to suffer from insomnia, then we do not recommend eating tightly late at night. However, if you are hungry, it is unlikely that you will be able to fall asleep quickly. It is believed that a certain category of foods can promote good sleep. We are talking about warm milk, nuts, bananas, fish, whole grain bread. At the same time, protein can prevent you from falling asleep quickly, however, as can drinks containing caffeine, fatty or sugary foods, nicotine, and alcohol. Drink warm tea or milk If your plans are for a calm and comfortable sleep, drink a cup of warm milk or herbal tea with honey at night. Such drinks, unlike those that contain caffeine or alcohol, contribute to quick falling asleep and a pleasant sleep.
