6 tips to beat insomnia and sleep like a baby

It happens to all of us that after bad habits or some experiences we usually lose our sleep. Today I have 6 tips for them to fall like you drink at bedtime

Maintain a continuous schedule

One of the main problems is going to sleep every time to an hour. It is important to maintain a continuous schedule, because if your body gets used to sleeping at a certain time, when the time comes you will rest. The key to keeping a schedule is melatonin, a hormone that participates in a wide variety of neurological processes such as sleep control and whose deficit can cause insomnia and depression.

Disconnect

The fact of disconnecting mentally from what happened throughout the day is also important. Many times our head is focused on the problems, on the things that we have left to do, or the stress caused by exams. To be able to isolate ourselves from these concerns, we can resort to a relaxing shower, a light dinner, turn off the mobile or simply read a little before going to bed.

Breathe slowly

The little act of breathing slowly and concentrating on the breathed in and out air can go a long way. Techniques like 4-7-8 (inhale for four seconds, hold for seven, and exhale for eight seconds) will help us pause our heart rate and eliminate anxiety.

Goodbye caffeine

The fact of not drinking coffee or stimulating drinks hours before sleep is recommended and airing the room well will help the relaxation process.

Out medications

A very widespread practice is to take medicine to get a good rest. This is dangerous, since it is often a problem that can be solved without resorting to drugs which require higher doses throughout their consumption to achieve the same effects.

The infusions of allies

You can resort to the use of medicinal plants such as chamomile, valerian, or mixed infusions designed to help you fall asleep. There are lesser known plants such as passionflower, lemon balm, linden or mint that can be taken as infusions or, if you prefer, you can go to your pharmacist. In pharmacies there are phytotherapeutic products with standardized amounts of these herbs to ensure better performance and a longer action.

These are little tips that can be done easily and will allow us to avoid long sleepless nights, whether due to the summer heat, day-to-day worries or exam anxiety.
