Many people suffer from insomnia because they worry so much about different things. If you cant fall asleep because you are thinking about various problems, try to set aside a specific time of the day to sort things out in your head. During that time, make a list of what you need to tackle, or write in a journal, and then do not think about it anymore when you go to bed.
Firstly, do not nap during the day and do try to get extra sleep on the weekends. This can throw off your regular sleeping patterns and make your insomnia worse. Limit the amount of caffeine you consume during the day and watch your alcohol intake, as this can also disrupt your sleep patterns. Smoking cigarettes is also not advisable, since smokers normally take longer to fall asleep and tend to wake up more frequently during the night.
You should limit the amount of naps you take during the day. Many people nap to catch up on their rest, especially if they feel tired during the day. However, you need to establish regular sleeping patterns for your body. This means you have to train yourself to associate rest with certain cues, such as darkness, so that your body recognizes when it is bedtime. Too many naps can affect the quality of your rest at night.
Temporary insomnia may mean you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Some people awaken too early or experience restless sleep during the night. This may be due to underlying health problems, so if it continues for longer than a few weeks, you should see your doctor.
You should also try to limit the activities you are doing in bed. Many people rest better at night when they leave the bed for sleeping and having sex only. People who suffer from insomnia should not try to do things like study or talk on the phone while in bed.
Try to create a restful sleeping environment in your bedroom. You should keep it quiet and dark. The temperature should be neither too cold nor too hot. Your body will know what temperature is needed for optimal rest. Control the noise so that you are not awakened too frequently. Pay special attention also to the type of bed you are sleeping on. A mattress that is lumpy or does not support your back can lead to back problems and it can disturb your sleep too. If you have an old bed, it may be time to shop for a new one. Get a good quality mattress rather than something cheap and uncomfortable.
If you are kept awake because you worry over things, try to make a list of things you need to accomplish. Then put the list away and try not to think about it anymore. You can also try writing your thoughts down in a journal so that you are not lying awake with them in your head.
Ensure that your sleeping environment is as comfortable as possible. Control the temperature and lighting so that the bedroom is conducive to falling asleep. The bed should be comfortable and there should be as little noise as possible.
