How wonderful it is, to gently fall asleep thoroughly tired after a hard day! And how nerve-racking is it to lie in bed tired without being able to fall asleep!
We all know this scenario occasionally but more and more people are suffering regularly under fall asleep- and sleep through-disturbances. The causes are manifold: beginning with physical and/or mental stress via unresolved conflicts of everyday life, a multitude of unfinished tasks, exam stress and pressure to perform, pain and drug-intake up to possible serious illnesses. But, rooms poorly ventilated, too bright and too warm, a dinner too late as well as nicotine, alcohol, caffeine and lack of exercise may be responsible for sleep disturbances, too.
The appearing lack of sleep is not only unpleasant but it may also lead to serious health encroachments like depressions, burnout, diabetes, overweight and infarction. This makes it very important to eliminate the causes for fall asleep- and sleep through-disturbances.
Check your habits
Over several days, note your everyday life: when and above all how do you get up? How many breaks – they may be even short ones – are there during the day? What are you eating and drinking? How much exercise in fresh air do you have? What do you do in the evening – are you working and eating late? Do you try to relax in front of the TV or computer? The answers to this questions might be a first hint for an easy but effective help.
Next, check your sleep surrounding. Is your bedroom quiet, dark and does it have a pleasant temperature? And what about your bed and your sleeping underlay? Is it possible to relax, to let go and fill up there? Here, the SAMINA healthy-sleep-concept is offering effective support.
