How many things in this world are more annoying than those restless nights where you simply can't fall asleep, no matter how hard you try? I've faced plenty of those nights and I dread the feeling.
Sleeplessness is absolutely frustrating and it can seriously impact one's life. Everyone needs an adequate amount of sleep in order to function properly, and symptoms of insomnia can very easily ruin one's day. Not only will your body be run down, but your mind will have difficulty functioning too.
The good news is that there are some ways to work through this. They'll require a commitment and a willingness to believe that they work, but they won't cost you much money and may definitely be of help.
Many people try to get around insomnia by taking medications. This can be effective if your doctor prescribes one to you, but I'm of the belief that these things are only really necessary if all other remedies have failed.
Here's a trick that I often use in times of need, whenever I can remember to at least. I'll simply pick up a book and read it from bed. I do this with the intention of reading as much as my body will allow me to.
Non fiction seems to work best for me, as this genuinely keeps me the least interested in whatever it is that I'm reading. In fact, I seem to do best with the more mundane books in my collection.
The key to the reading technique is the fact that your mind will be focused on the book, and not the fact that you can't fall asleep. This leads directly into my last piece of advice.
As long as your mind is not focused on the fact that you're still awake and struggling to sleep at night, your chances of falling asleep will be infinitely higher. Try this strategy out and you may be pleased with the results. - 30309
