What You Can Do to Help Cure Your Insomnia
In the previous article we explored what you should stop doing to cure insomnia.
Now let's explore some things to do that will help cure insomnia naturally.
Some of the answers that I've found may seem like common sense but you'd be surprised at how many people overlook the obvious.
For an example you should go to bed with as little light in the bedroom as possible.
Some digital clocks and night lights give off startling amounts of light making it harder to get to sleep and stay asleep.
And if you have to use the restroom during the night try and use as dim a light as possible to keep from disturbing your body's production of melatonin - an important sleep aid that your pineal gland produces.
Also eating a high protein snack before bed provides your body with the L-tryptophan needed to produce the melatonin that is essential for sleep.
Listening to white noise or relaxing CD's like the rain forest, ocean, rain storms, or any other of nature's sound can help lull you into a restful sleep.
Not only are these sounds available via CD but I've also come across machines that look like portable stereos that make will take you where ever you want to go in nature with the touch of a button.
Keep the temperature in your home at 70 degrees or below.
Most Americans keep their homes too warm for optimal sleeping conditions.
To further aid in the correct temperatures for sleeping you may also want to put socks on before going to bed as your feet lose warmth faster than any other part of your body during sleep.
I don't know about you but if I wake during the night to cold feet, there will be no sleep until my feet are nice and warm again.
Establish a nighttime routine that your body will recognize as the signal to wind down and prepare for sleep.
This routine can begin as early as morning.
Yes, morning.
If you exercise at least 30 minutes a day this can assist with your sleeping at night.
But I stress morning because if you exercise before bed this will backfire on you and actually make you alert not drowsy.
About 2 hours before bed you may want to put your work away if you're prone to bringing your work home (and refrain from doing said work in the bedroom).
Take a relaxing bath or shower.
Then follow up with a soothing herbal tea while listening to the CD's mentioned above.
These tips should have you seeing the Sand Man in no time at all.
