Did You Know That A Simple Sleep Problem Can Kill You? How Can You Get Around It?
A recent study indicates clearly that a person would die much faster due to lack of sleep, rather that any other deprivation (food, water, basic sanitation, etc). Hence, it is very important that you do not take any sleep problem lightly.
Learn The Right Way To Fall Asleep
Sleep apnea is a very serious disease; one that is responsible for millions of deaths globally. Though this affliction has a prescribed treatment and medication, a natural cure would always be better and easier to adopt. It is not necessary that whenever there is a sleep problem there is sleep apnea.
There are many traditional ways to use to induce sleep. A few of these are described hereunder briefly. Try them all and see whether it affects the sleep problem you have. In case it does not, then you consider checking with your doctor for in depth check up and necessary medication.
First of all you need to learn to de-clutter your mind before retiring to bed. Whatever happened during the day has happened; what will happen tomorrow is yet to come. Hence, you need to clear everything from your mind while sleeping. The best would be to learn a few meditation techniques and practice these before sleep so you could calm your mind.
Secondly, if you ever find that you are unable to fall asleep, stop trying to push yourself to sleep. Get up from the bed, make yourself a hot cup of tea, milk or hot chocolate - not coffee - and do something you like and has you relaxed. Do not read ghost stories and see action or horror movies.
These things excite the mind and hence would be counterproductive for you. If you have the habit to read, this is the best time to do so - just see that the book is not something that would keep you awake with fear. This would solve your sleep problem in most cases.
Another way is to check your biological clock - what time you feel sleepy naturally? Let us say it is 10.30 pm. Now find out what is the time you wake up normally - let us say it is 6.30 am. This means that you need some eight hours of sleep.
Now check out how many hours per day you actually give yourself. Anything less would definitely give you sleep problem as anything more would do too. Whenever you have less or more, you would need to put in efforts to bring it back to the normal time amount you basically need.
