What should a middle-aged woman do if she can’t sleep at night?

I am about to take the college entrance examination, and my mother has chosen to go to school with me in order to take care of me as much as possible. I don’t know what’s going on these days? My mother always can't sleep. When I couldn't sleep before, I would drink a glass of milk half an hour before going to bed. But I feel like this has no effect on my mother. So, I would like to ask if there is any good way to treat my mother?

Hello, there are many reasons why middle-aged women cannot sleep at night. Mental factors such as mental tension, excitement, depression, fear, anxiety, and boredom can often cause insomnia. On the one hand, your mother's condition may be related to you. At this time, I suggest that your mother should not accompany your child to study. If you can't sleep due to other reasons, such as eating too much or doing something particularly exciting before going to bed. In fact, it is not difficult to change this situation. Just pay attention to the following issues: eat a light diet rich in protein and vitamins. Eat some foods that help nerve function in moderation. Such as river fish, sea fish, oysters, shrimps, loaches, pork liver, pork kidneys, walnuts, peanuts, apples, mushrooms, peas, broad beans, milk, etc. Participate in exercises that emphasize mental training, such as Qigong and Tai Chi, to improve the regulatory ability of the nerves. Live a regular life, go to bed on time, do not eat too much for dinner, and do not drink stimulating drinks such as tea and coffee before going to bed. Stop using your brain half an hour before going to bed and listen to soft and beautiful music in a quiet environment. People who have trouble falling asleep can also do some relaxing activities such as going out for a walk. Maintain a balance between work and rest, and change bad living habits. Quit smoking, drinking, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods such as coffee and strong tea. Avoid using hot tonic medicines such as deer antler, ginseng, and aconite. Don't eat too much at dinner. In addition, health foods such as menatonin and lecithin have a good effect in regulating nerve function and help improve sleep.

In addition to the things that need attention above, I can also share with you some good methods, such as soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed at night. This method is particularly good because hot water can raise our body temperature, thereby promoting blood circulation in our body and increasing our sleepiness. But be sure to pay attention to the water temperature.
