Yoga and Meditation

You probably have tried all the mentioned ways in the book to solve your trouble falling asleep. If you have already reached this point then maybe it is about time you start thinking outside of the book. Here are more tips.

1. Do Deep Breathing Exercises -Good blood and thus, oxygen circulation is an important factor for one to have a good quality sleep. That’s why usually people with breathing difficulties have sleeping difficulties as well, even disorders. Sleeping ailments like sleep apnea and insomnia are just few of the many to mention kinds of sleeping disorders. In order to maintain a good blood and oxygen circulation you also need to have proper deep breathing. This can be done by doing a particular set of exercises. For instance, try breathing in deeply and hold it in for four to five counts, as you watch your tummy rises like getting inflated with the air you just breath. Keep it in long enough until you finally feel like you can’t take it anymore. Then let go(exhale) the air as natural as possible but try prolonging it for like about four to five counts as well. Normally, this would enhance your breathing and give you optimum relaxation later.

2. Best Mattress in the Mind -while it is true that to see is to believe, to feel also qualifies as a standard to you believing that something is for real. Apply this in your trouble falling asleep issues. Visualize the best comfort bed you have ever seen or imagine. Imagine the wonderful comfort it will offer you then gradually feel it and believe the feeling. All the softness you would ever need to free yourself from the heavy weight of stress and tension that laden your system. As you indulge deeper into that feeling or rest foresee as well your sleep as it is about to come. Then eventually, you will now then fall asleep.

3. Stop Counting Sheep -counting is just like math, relatively still a mental exercise. Just like the body when in activity it doesn’t get the chance to relax. As it gets into a more hyper level, the more difficult it will be for you to achieve that state of relaxation. Same goes as well with the brain, if it’s up and running and it will eventually upgrade to hyper mode by then it would be difficult for you to back ton a relax state anymore. Find a switch to this and learn how to switch it off and definitely, counting sheep is not one way to do it. Try imagine something else that doesn’t require counting. For example, visualize the wind or the swaying of the leaves from a tree.

Well if not of these tips work for you, you could always choose to go to your doctor and have yourself assessed and advised with a solution.
