You’re tired, you go to bed but you just can’t go to sleep. Many of you who are reading this will know exactly where I’m coming from; it’s one of the singularly most infuriating experiences that we have to go through.
As each minute and hours ticks by with still no sign of sleep, we start to worry about it, which puts sleep even further out of our grasp. Then, the ultimate insult, the dark, night sky begins to lighten. So we are faced with a very long day ahead functioning on auto pilot thanks to another sleepless night.
Is there anything else we can try to stop these long, sleepless nights? We’ve already tried every remedy going, surely there’s something out there that can help us?
I try not to take any kind of drug to get me to sleep, but if you are finding that your sleeplessness is lasting for a few nights in a row and you are dead on your feet, try something like Simply Sleep. This product has good reviews and really seems to help to bring on the sleep that refuses to come naturally.
Reading in bed tends to be a good one to help you drop off. As you are warm and comfortable and the light is dimmed, you should find the words blurring together and your eyes unable to focus.
You should try and tip the odds in your favor by getting the most mind numbingly boring piece of written work that you can find. This usually does the job, but on odd occasions that is hasn’t, I may have learned something interesting!
Before I give you my last idea for ending your sleeplessness, the focus on the book takes it away from sleep, hence it should be a lot easier to fall asleep as you aren’t thinking about it.
Once you’re in bed and snuggled into your sleep position, don’t try to empty your mind. If you do, the fact that you can’t get to sleep will flood your mind and the anxiety circle begins again. Focus on something completely random, thinking of anything except sleep is the one thing that induces it. Imagine yourself somewhere different, or think of pleasant memories, before you know it it’s morning, and this strange but true method has worked brilliantly.
