HOW TO PREVENT INSOMNIA ?

👉DON’T SIT ON THE PHONE & TV.
If you sit long hours on the phone or watch TV before going to bed, your nervous system goes into an excited state and does not let you sleep. It’s better to read a book (in paper form).

👉WATCH YOUR DIET.
The last meal should be 3 hours before you go to bed. It’s better to drink herbal tea, which can relax you &regulate your sleep.

👉TAKE A WALK IN THE FRESH AIR.
Evening walks before going to bed will make you feel slightly tired, and oxygenation will help you fall asleep faster.

👉AVOID UNNECESSARY THOUGHTS.
When you go to bed, stop thinking about unresolved issues, upcoming tasks & plans for the near future. When you analyze too much, your brain gets tense and does not allow you to go to sleep peacefully.

👉GET RID OF EXTERNAL STIMULI.
Often loud noises or bright lights keep us awake. Try to eliminate any stimuli that may affect your sleep, or buy a sleep mask and earplugs.
