For some of us, the sight of our bed automatically adds extra weight to our eyelids. There are some people, however, that really struggle to fall asleep at night. Fortunately, there are quite a few natural remedies that can help with insomnia.
In order to function normally during the day, humans need a certain amount of sleep. For various reasons, some people just can’t reach the level of relaxation required to drift off into dreamland.
One of the biggest causes of insomnia is anxiety. It seems as though our brains tend to sabotage us right before we fall asleep by making us worry about pointless things. The best way to deal with this is to take control of your mind by practicing mindfulness meditation and/or exercising during the day.
Other possible reasons for difficulty falling asleep may be related to a lack of some nutrients. Lack of magnesium, for example, is linked to insomnia. Eating foods like nuts, seeds, and veggies should help you catch some extra z’s at night.
The battle with insomnia can be challenging for some people. A lot of times it takes more than just counting sheep to get quality rest. Trying out some new natural ways to doze off can’t hurt. Just be sure to set an alarm for the morning in case they work.
Sweet dreams!
