I often have insomnia at night, what methods can I use to help me sleep?

I often suffered from insomnia before, so I have compiled some helpful methods for insomnia. Let’s take stock of them below.

1. Drink hot milk and soak your feet before going to bed. I have used this method for a while, and I think it works well, because soaking the feet can help relieve fatigue and put us in a relaxed state, so the spirit is no longer so tense. After lying on the bed, it doesn't take long to fall asleep. arrive. But it is only suitable for people with mild insomnia, because if you have severe insomnia and are in a tense state of mind, foot soaking and milk still can't make you so relaxed.

2. Go out for a run at night. If you go out for a run at night, you will be in a very tired state. When you come back at night, you will want to dive into bed and sleep quickly because of your fatigue. Then you will sleep well until dawn. This method is suitable for people with moderate insomnia and mild insomnia. If you have severe insomnia, you can skip this one. The effect is really not very obvious. I have tried it myself.

3. Use some tips to fall asleep quickly while sleeping. Let’s talk about the methods we often talk about in the Year of the Sheep. In English, sheep and sleep have similar pronunciations, which will form a psychological suggestion and make you fall asleep after a long time. In fact, it is not very effective for us Chinese, but it has a certain effect. It is only useful for people with mild insomnia. The second is the amazing 30-second method to fall asleep, which is 4, 7, 8. First inhale for four seconds, then hold your breath for 7 seconds, and then exhale for 8 seconds. Just cycle back and forth like this. It should be less than a minute. This method is suitable for mild to moderate insomnia. I personally tried it, and it felt ok for the first time, but it didn’t work very well after the second day. This varies from person to person, so you can give it a try. The third method is to fall asleep quickly in 5 minutes. It is said to come from a Japanese sleep master. I read it on Weibo. It talks about lying down alone, then keeping the body relaxed, and first raising one foot for 30 seconds. , then switch to the other foot and hold for 30 seconds. Finally, lift both feet together to a height of 20 centimeters, hold for 30 seconds, and do this for 5 groups. After doing this, relax gently. You will feel soreness all over your body, and you will unconsciously feel a wave of heat coming over you. Then let yourself think about nothing and you will fall asleep. I tried this method and found it to be effective. However, because I was suffering from severe insomnia at the time, it stopped working after two days.

4. The next step is the last move. That is to take sleeping pills. I was taking diazepam tablets, two pills at a time. I slept really soundly that night. I don’t know, it was much better than the previous methods. However, after taking it, I felt like my head was numb the next morning. It hurts a lot, but I still don’t recommend eating it often.
