What should I do if I don’t get enough sleep every day?

Sleep is very important for the human body. It can effectively relieve people’s fatigue from daytime work, restore people’s energy, and the growth and development of the human body also takes place during deep sleep. However, nowadays people’s sleeping habits are getting worse and worse. Staying up late at night and sleeping during the day is not a good phenomenon. People also suffer from lack of sleep. So what should we do if we don’t get enough sleep every day?

Insomnia is a chronic, recurrent and intractable psychological disorder, and genetic involvement cannot be ruled out. Pay attention to adjusting your mentality, don't pursue perfection, and keep a normal mind. You should establish a happy thought concept. If your thoughts are happy, you are a happy person. If your thoughts are unhappy, you cannot be happy. Those who are content are always happy. They are happy when their hearts are happy and depressed when their hearts are depressed. Pay attention to adjusting your diet structure, mainly eat light meals, and avoid eating foods that easily cause inflammation. Chinese medicine believes that "fire does not nourish the heart, and the heart does not nourish sleep", which will affect sleep; in addition, pay attention to exercising more. Moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness, improve psychological endurance, and assist sleep.

People with insomnia often find it difficult to induce sleep on their own. In fact, early mild insomnia can often benefit from self-regulation, which can be summarized as follows:

(1) A normal and natural state of mind. There is no need to worry too much if you suffer from insomnia. The more nervous you are, the more you force yourself to fall asleep, which will be counterproductive. Some people become even more nervous and uneasy when they suffer from insomnia for several consecutive days, believing that if they continue to suffer from insomnia, their brain will not get enough rest and they will either die young or get sick. The excessive anxiety caused by this kind of worry is more harmful to sleep itself and health.

(2) Find and eliminate the cause of insomnia. There are many factors that cause insomnia, as mentioned before. It is not difficult to find them as long as you pay a little attention. If the cause is eliminated, insomnia will heal itself. If insomnia symptoms are caused by illness, seek medical attention promptly. Don't think that insomnia is just a minor problem and not a disease and delay treatment.

(3) It relaxes the body and mind, which is beneficial for sleep. Take a walk outdoors for a while before going to bed to relax your mind, take a shower or soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, and then go to bed. This will help you fall asleep smoothly.

measure:

1. Get rid of the habit of sleeping on your back

Sleeping on your back is a posture that people often adopt. When sleeping on your back, you can only stretch your body and lower limbs, so that your whole body can get a rest during lunch. Because when the intra-abdominal pressure increases, this posture can easily cause chest tightness and feeling of suffocation.

In addition, when sleeping on your back, many people will unconsciously put their hands on their chest, causing pressure on the heart and lungs, making nightmares more likely. Especially people who snore and have respiratory diseases should not sleep on their backs.

2. The best sleeping position: Lying on the right side with your legs bent

Because most people's hearts are located on the left side, sleeping on the right side reduces the pressure on the heart and helps the free circulation of blood throughout the body, thereby improving metabolism.

In addition, sleeping in this position can allow the food in the stomach to move towards the duodenum with the help of gravity, thereby promoting the digestion and absorption of food. However, it should be noted that when sleeping on the right side, do not use a pillow that is too low, otherwise it will cause discomfort in the neck.

3. Create a comfortable environment

Before going to bed, you must ensure a comfortable and warm environment. Whether you choose a perfect bed, block the light tightly, or try your best to eliminate noise, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment can effectively regulate the condition of lack of sleep.
