Have you ever found it hard to fall asleep or woken up in the middle of the night and never got back to sleep?
Insomnia, unfortunately, is a problem that affects quite a few people and the causes are varied. Some can be solved simply, others with a little more effort.
We would like to advise you on some remedies to avoid continuing to toss and turn in bed searching in vain for a bit of peace or staring at the clock, increasing your nervousness. We will also dwell on insomnia due to the summer heat, between sweating and irritability.
Remedies for insomnia
Relax
The main enemy of rest is stress. If you lead a very stressful life, due to work or private problems, your sleep will be affected, causing even more stress and restlessness. At night we should leave aside all thoughts and worries, instead we take them with us.
One remedy to find an escape from the daytime hours is to treat yourself to a massage that not only relaxes your tense muscles, but also relaxes your mind by banishing anxieties.
Our five-star SPA has experienced masseurs to whom you can entrust yourself completely in order to regain the desired peace of mind.
Very effective can also be the wellness programmes that allow you to relax in a jacuzzi pool or Finnish sauna. Relaxation begun during the day will also benefit your rest at night.
Yoga
Meditation is an excellent remedy for treating insomnia. Taking yoga classes not only helps you feel good about yourself, but also reduces sleep disturbances. Sleep hours will increase, but the quality of sleep will also improve. This is because your breathing will become deeper, which will help you sleep better, your immune system will strengthen and emotional and physical tensions will be reduced.
Breathing and visualisation
To help you sleep, you can resort to some tricks when you lie down. You can act on your breathing, trying to breathe as deeply and slowly as possible. While lying down, place one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest, inhale and exhale very slowly and, during the process, concentrate on your breathing, almost as if you can ‘see’ it. It is a technique that will help you relax and slowly leave you in the arms of Morpheus.
Visualisation is also a good practice that relies on the imagination. Visualise pleasant and relaxing places in your mind, such as forests, beaches, mountains, imagining their scents and sounds.
Listen to music and avoid electronic devices
Plug in earphones and listen to relaxing music, without powerful sounds, and try to ‘follow’ the sound waves, chasing away negative thoughts.
Your enemies, to be fought before going to sleep, are the displays of smartphones and tablets and the TV and PC screen. Their artificial light alters the rhythm of sleep, disrupting your gold
