What should women do if they have insomnia at night?

Many friends will suffer from insomnia and nightmares at night. Friends who have had this experience know that this is very uncomfortable. If you often suffer from insomnia at night, it will have a great impact on your work the next day and will also increase your psychological pressure. Therefore, when this happens, you must find ways to improve it in time. So what should women do if they suffer from insomnia at night?

1. Don’t worry too much about the amount of sleep. The requirement for sleep varies from person to person and also varies for people of different ages. The younger you are, the more sleep you need. As you age, your sleep will gradually decrease. A person does not have to sleep 8 or 7 hours a day. A reasonable amount of sleep should be enough to relieve fatigue, maintain a happy spirit, and be able to carry out a day's work and study well. On the contrary, if you care too much about the amount of sleep and often feel restless because of half an hour less sleep, it will only be harmful to getting a good night's sleep.

2. Pay attention to eating habits. Don't eat too much for dinner or go to bed on an empty stomach, as both of these situations will affect your sleep. Eating some dairy products or drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can help you sleep. Avoid drinking a lot of alcoholic beverages before going to bed, including beer and other alcoholic beverages. Although they can help people fall asleep, they will affect the quality of sleep; when the calming effect of alcohol wears off, you will wake up immediately. In addition, caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea, cola drinks and chocolate, can excite the human brain nerves, so it is best not to drink them before going to bed.

3. Relax yourself. You should avoid stimulating work and entertainment before going to bed, and do not engage in overly strenuous mental activities. Doing some activities that can relax the body and mind, such as taking a hot bath, reading some recreational books and newspapers, watching relaxing TV programs, and listening to soft and lyrical light music will undoubtedly be of great help to people falling asleep as soon as possible.

4. Let the bed serve only as a place for sleeping. Don't let your bed become your place to study or work. Lying in bed reading a book or newspaper, or talking about stimulating topics will weaken the direct connection between bed and sleep. A good sleeper can often fall asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow. This is because he has been using the bed for only the sleeping function for a long time, thus forming a conditioned reflex.

The above is an introduction on what women should do when they suffer from insomnia at night. If you often suffer from insomnia, you can try the methods introduced above. However, the most important thing is to find out the cause of insomnia. If you eat too much before going to bed and cannot digest it, then it will be very difficult to fall asleep. Therefore, diet is also a relatively important issue.
