What should I do if I can’t sleep because of a stuffy nose? Try these methods

In life, many people always have difficulty falling asleep at night when they have a cold and a stuffy nose, but insufficient sleep makes the body more uncomfortable. So what should patients do in this case?

1. Relax your mind before going to bed:

If the body and brain are in a relaxed state before going to bed, people can fall asleep more quickly. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to relaxing their tense nerves before going to bed and do some relaxing activities appropriately. For example, listen to soothing music, or stretch.

2. Improve sleeping environment:

Sleeping in a good environment will help people have better sleep quality. Therefore, in daily life, everyone should also pay attention to making some improvements to their sleeping environment and create an environment that is conducive to sleep. For example, the bedroom for sleeping should be kept clean and tidy, the light should not be too glaring, and the bedding used should make people feel comfortable, etc.

3. Develop good living habits:

If you want to sleep better at night, you need to correct your unhealthy living habits. You should get up and go to bed on time, avoid staying up late or all night, and establish a regular biological clock. When life is very regular, people's sleep-wake patterns will return to normal and insomnia symptoms can be effectively controlled.

4. Don’t be too excited before going to bed:

Before going to bed, everyone should control their emotions and not be too excited or agitated. Avoid insomnia or waking up in the middle of the night and being unable to fall asleep due to nervous excitement, which prevents you from getting enough rest. Generally speaking, people should not do strenuous activities half an hour before going to bed, and it is also not advisable to play around or watch some stimulating TV or movie programs.

In addition to the above methods, you can also relieve your insomnia by doing proper exercise, drinking a glass of honey water before going to bed, or washing your feet with hot water.
