I'm so sleepy but I can't sleep. What should I do?

People who get a full night's sleep are always similar. Once they wake up, they feel full of energy and look forward to a new day. But insomniacs have their own troubles and misfortunes. Insomnia is a common phenomenon in fast-paced life. It can be said that people of any age have experienced insomnia to varying degrees. Some people even feel very sleepy, but just can't fall asleep. What should they do?

I'm very sleepy but can't sleep. What should I do?

Friends who can’t sleep can solve the problem through self-regulation, first of all, maintaining a normal and natural state of mind. There is no need to worry too much if you suffer from insomnia. The more nervous you are, the more you force yourself to fall asleep, which will be counterproductive. Some people become even more nervous and uneasy when they suffer from insomnia for several consecutive days, believing that if they continue to suffer from insomnia, their brain will not get enough rest and they will either die young or get sick. The excessive anxiety caused by this kind of worry is more harmful to sleep itself and health.

The second thing is to find and eliminate the cause of insomnia. There are many factors that cause insomnia, as mentioned before. It is not difficult to find them as long as you pay a little attention. If the cause is eliminated, insomnia will heal itself. If insomnia symptoms are caused by illness, seek medical attention promptly. Don't think that insomnia is just a minor problem and not a disease and delay treatment. Take a walk outdoors for a while before going to bed to relax your mind, take a bath or soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, and then go to bed. This will help you fall asleep smoothly.

Another method is to close your eyes and enter a state of tranquility. After going to bed, close your eyes first, then open them slightly to maintain some contact with the outside world. Although mental activities are still functioning, the tension of sympathetic nerve activity has greatly decreased, inducing the body to gradually enter a sleepy state.
