Insomnia Do’s and Don’ts

 

 

Insomnia Do’s and Don’ts

 

  • If you get out of bed make sure that you just sit quietly.  Meditate on clearing your mind.  Studies show that deep meditation can be as helpful to your mind and body as sleep.
  • Buy a Brain Entrainment CD and some ear buds (they are the most comfortable to sleep on).  Make sure the CD is designed to help you sleep.  There are many CDs of this kind on the market.
  • Make sure that you sleep in a dark bedroom!
  • Exercise regularly.  Exercise can do a great job of regulating your sleep cycle. The only catch here is do not exercise within two hours of bedtime since exercising right before you go to bed can activate your mind and body.
  • Drink a cup of Chamomile tea an hour before bedtime and take Valerian root with it.
  • Stay away from alcohol as a way to get to sleep.  You don’t want to fall into the habit of relying on a drink before bed to help you sleep.
