Struggling to Sleep?

It is the story of the person who was once an insomniac.

Four years back, she was struggling with a peaceful sleep. Every night, as she went to bed, she would keep changing sides, finding it difficult to sleep. She tried everything, like drinking warm milk, green tea, etc, to get a good night's sleep but failed miserably. She would wake up half-slept every morning feeling sleep-deprived and surrounded with numerous thoughts. 

The results of her sleep deprivation were visible in her assignments and projects. She would feel irritated and pick fights with anyone for minor issues. Then Covid happened, and she came back home. Now, her agitation was at its peak, but she knew life couldn't go like this as no one was aware of how long they were locked in homes.

It was an awakening for her. She started pursuing her hobbies, like writing, reading, cooking new dishes, and dance fitness. She enhanced her sleep cycle and happiness with time and family bonding.

Here are the tips she wanted to share with you all for a good night's sleep:

• Keep Yourself Active:

The first thing to maintain your lifestyle is to keep yourself active. You can achieve this by doing workouts, dancing, running, targeting to complete 10000 steps daily, etc. If you engage throughout the day, eventually, you will feel tired at night, crashing into your bed for a good night's sleep. 

• Pursue Your Hobby:

Hobbies keep you enchanted. They give you peace and an opportunity to introspect and analyze. If you love painting, writing, dancing, singing, playing an instrument, journalling, reading, gardening, and many more things to count, do them. They will help you find a purpose in life. You will feel happy doing what you love. Hence, you will go to bed with a feeling of fulfillment.

  

• Avoid Coffee in the Late Evening:

Caffeine is a stimulant that influences the central nervous system, leading to reduced fatigue and increased alertness. If you will consume not only coffee but anything that has it will keep you awake. So, to sleep peacefully, avoid any such beverages or eatables.

 

• Eat Healthy

The most crucial aspect of a good night's sleep is eating healthy. Nutrients like Magnesium and B vitamins produce neurotransmitters like serotonin that regulate sleep patterns, while protein, carbs, and healthy fats can help maintain blood sugar levels. So healthy eating is a must. Someone said, "You are what you eat." Be wise to choose which food is proper.

• Live In Real, Not in Reels:

The trending one is social media scrolling before bed. When you use your phone, it transmits blue light that can suppress melatonin production. It is a sleep pattern regulator. Blue light exposure can impact the natural circadian rhythm, causing trouble in sleep. Spend more time with family, friends, and yourself. 

Keep yourself hydrated, and I hope these tips help you as they helped her to regain her sleep cycle.
