10 Tricks To Fall Asleep Faster And Tighter
Trouble sleeping?
Welcome to the club, we are all friends here!
So what was your reason to spend the night counting stars?
Stress…yea, story of every soul existing on Earth now!
Catching a full night of sleep to wake up to a refreshing tomorrow has become a dream
for some adults.
Now, don’t you think there is something wrong with us?
People, not sleeping has a ton of health risks and we thought you won’t want that so here
we are with some tricks to ease out the ‘curling in bed’ process for you.
Happy sleeping mates!
Number 10.
Spill lavender scent This flowering herb has a lovely aroma, no
denying that!
But another aspect is the relaxation that it brings along.
Lavender has a very positive influence on your nerves and blood pressure, so before
you know it your body is already relaxing!
Make it a part of your bedtime routine to inhale the scent for a few minutes and then
go off to sleep.
A study reports that people who have it not only sleep better but get up vigorous in the
morning.
Do we need more reasons to try it?
Number 9.
Force yourself to stay awake We did shock you a bit but trust us, we aren’t
crazy to suggest you something like this!
Have you ever stumbled upon the idea of reverse psychology?
Dude it may or may not work elsewhere but when sleep is concerned, this theory rocks!
Sleep is this insane babe who is going to run away from you when you try to catch it.
Ditch it, ignore it and focus on staying awake and she is bound to come running to your arms!
Now that’s temporary but we don’t mind using it for the time being!
Number 8.
Candlelight dinner No guys, we aren’t being hopeless romantics
here, though we find no harm in that!
But what we really want is to keep you away from flashy lights before bedtime, specially
the blue ones from your smartphones!
Yea we know you love your gadgets and scrolling through the newsfeed is just necessary but
save that for the evening and no late night Netflix!
These lights instruct your brain to not produce melatonin, sleep inducing hormone.
See, how well we already know that hormones can really mess up with us…ughhh!
Number 7.
Hide your clock Eyes fixed on the clock and counting minutes
to dawn, did you relate?
You have the biggest reason for your insomnia hanging near your bed!
When you keep counting the hours, minutes and seconds to morning, aren’t you increasing
your worries.
So basically when you frown at the clock, you are reducing your chances of a sleep filled
night.
Do yourself a favor friend, hide the damn clock!
Number 6.
Listen to music All night partying with music blaring from
the speakers as you grooved to the deafening beats isn’t counted!
We are talking about soft music with a rhythm of 60-80 beats per minute, too boring for
you?
Darling as per a study, youngsters who listen to soft music for 45 minutes before going
to bed not only slept better but also had reduced symptoms of depression.
So revamp your collection of songs now, the right reason is here!
Number 5. Make your room cooler Do you know your body needs o cool down to
fall asleep?
Yea people switch on the fan or open the window.
Chill out the room with AC, all up to you!
Some people love to create a cool room and then dive into their warm blankets, you can
totally try that.
The secret here is to draw the curtains, lower the temperature and pull up a quilt.
After all, that’s gonna create a cocoon like effect and you know how lovely a sleep
can be in the shell!
Plain blissful and undisturbed, try it!
Number 4.
Blow bubbles Sounds silly, right?
Perfect, because once you start with it, your thoughts aren’t wandering off to worries
any time soon!
Another reason for this fun activity in the middle of the night is that you need to breathe
deeply to blow bubbles that kinda narrows down to a breathing exercise.
So we all know what deep breathing does to us, yes it relaxes our body and mind.
And did you notice that bubbles are very hypnotic, eye candy they are!
Number 3.
Try acupressure Not a soul to deny the effect of acupressure
on an aching body and mind, we guess!
This alternative medicine technique with its roots in the Chinese medical theory believes
a network of energy flows through specific points in the body and well, that’s your
focus area.
So when you wake up struggling with insomnia, try it after all there isn’t much to lose!
Press the small depression between your brows, right above the nose or the depression between
the first and second toe till you feel a dull ache.
*Yawn*…
time to retire to bed!
Number 2.
10 minute break When you’ve been tossing and turning in
the middle of the night for 15 minutes and can’t get back to sleep, just climb out
of bed.
We know it’s a real struggle but come on, you are the one who’s going to benefit from
it so move your ass!
Get involved in an activity that requires your hands and head, a puzzle would do.
You are kinda tiring yourself and within minute your eyes would welcome sleep and bingo, mission
accomplished!
Number 1.
Exercise intensely Before you jump to conclusions let’s clear
this, we AREN’T asking you to start jogging when it is still pitch dark outside!
The idea is to incorporate an activity in your daily routine that elevates your heart
rate.
For some it would be just a 20 minute brisk walk while for the gym freaks it could zero
down to at least 5 miles of running!
The idea is to increase your heart rate and tire you out for a good night’s sleep.
The amazing thing is that exercising will also release endorphins, feel good hormones!
Now isn’t it amazing?
