Most people will have some restless nights of sleep. Some people
will have full nights of not being able to sleep at all. Insomnia can affect
anyone at any time. It can be
frustrating, and even more so when rest is needed. Health Briefs TV lays down
tips for beating insomnia.
We want to note that this article is intended for people who
have occasional nights of sleeplessness, not those who cannot get to sleep all
the time.
There are nights when our bodies are exhausted and our eyes
are tired, but we just can’t seem to fall asleep. It sure can be aggravating to
not be able to relax, shut our eyes and drift into a restful night of sleep.
The night becomes long as we watch the hours slowly tick by on the bedside
clock. Here are some ideas which may help (and we are going to try them).
Get out of bed and walk around. A change of scenery might do
some good. Go into another room, read something light. The bed is a piece of furniture that is meant
for sleep. If it’s not providing it, walk away for a little while.
Add some exercise into the daily routine. A good, brisk walk
after dinner not only aids digestion, but it stretches muscles and eases bone
stiffness. Try to add some form of moderate exercise into everyday living.
If there is another bed in the home not being used, Health Briefs TV suggests getting in it to sleep. Maybe it’s just the first bed that
is causing sleepless nights. If this fails too, ask the doctor about what do to
get a good night’s rest. Pleasant dreams.
