How to cure insomnia to recover

Insomnia is very common in life, and there are many causes of insomnia. If insomnia is severe, it will have a great impact on physical health, and the psychological blow will also have a relatively large impact. If you want to get a thorough treatment for insomnia, you should carry out targeted conditioning and give yourself psychological hints to relieve sleep problems. When you can't sleep, you can further adjust through massage methods.

1. Psychological suggestion method

To alleviate sleep problems, mental relaxation and psychological suggestion are also important. Pregnant mothers may try the following methods:

1. Take a hot shower or soak your feet in hot water before going to bed. Choose a comfortable position and relax all the muscles in your body. You can do deep breathing, simple yoga, body massage, etc. Breathe easily, close your eyes, and at the same time, tell yourself: It’s been a wonderful day, and I will definitely have a good sleep tonight!

2. Avoid having wild thoughts after going to bed. Even if things keep popping up in your mind, don't worry. Therefore, the memories before going to bed are fragmented. Just don't think too much, and don't think too deeply or too complicatedly.

3. When you wake up at night, don’t open your eyes, turn over gently and go back to sleep. If it’s almost dawn, it’s okay if you can’t sleep and wake up. It is best to go to bed and wake up at a regular time every day. Get up, take a shower, and go outside to breathe some fresh air.

2. Massage

1. Eye exercises. The technique is the same as doing eye exercises. Use the fingertips to scrape the area around the eye sockets; use the index finger to gently rub the temples and between the eyebrows for 2-3 minutes each; use the thumb and index finger to rub the Fengchi point (the lower limit of both sides of the cervical vertebrae) for 2-3 minutes.

2. Massage a group of acupoints. Baihui, Taiyang, Fengchi, Yifeng, Hegu, Shenmen, Neiwaiguan, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, and Yongquan. For mild insomnia, massage less often; for severe insomnia, massage more often. After the massage, choose the most comfortable position to lie down and you will fall asleep in about 10 minutes.

3. Ear massage. The human body's torso and internal organs have corresponding reaction areas behind the auricle. Massaging the auricle can relax the whole body and help sleep.

4. Forehead massage. Place the inner side of your fingertips close to your forehead and massage from between your eyebrows to your temples for 1 hour to promote blood circulation.

3. Diet therapy

In terms of diet, pregnant mothers can also make some efforts to improve the quality of sleep by adjusting their diet. For example: drink a glass of hot milk before going to bed, and eat more fruits such as apples, bananas, oranges, tangerines, etc. Here are some recipes to help you with insomnia:
