What to do with long-term anxiety and insomnia

There are many types of insomnia, and anxiety insomnia is one of them. Many people don’t know what to do with long-term anxiety insomnia. In this case, patients with insomnia should pay attention to adjusting their own mentality. Only an optimistic attitude can improve the symptoms of insomnia. Don't be stressed.

First, keep a normal attitude

Although everyone will encounter difficulties or troubles that they cannot solve, please remember not to get stuck in a rut, let things take their course, stop thinking about things that you can't figure out, keep a normal mind, and don't deliberately pay attention to whether you sleep well or not. You should think in your heart that it doesn't matter whether you sleep well or not. Lie in bed and sleep if you can, and don't sleep if you can't. Get rid of the idea of ​​paying too much attention to sleep, and your brain will become calm and peaceful, and you will fall asleep quickly.

Second, maintain a regular daily routine

A regular daily life is very important. If you are still awake when you are already feeling sleepy after 10 o'clock and continue playing with your mobile phone, when you want to sleep after 12 o'clock, you find that you can't fall asleep. That's because your cerebral cortex is still excited and it is impossible for you to fall asleep. If you want to improve your insomnia, you must develop a regular biological clock.

Third, don’t think of nightmares as a bad thing.

Some people have nightmares when they sleep. I think the reason for nightmares is that they have read too many horror novels or watched too many horror movies. When you watch these things, it will give you a psychological hint, but you don’t know it yourself, and you still try to interpret the dreams. If the result of the dream interpretation is bad, you will become anxious. In fact, there is no need to do so. Dreaming means that you are sleeping soundly.

Fourth, adhere to moderate aerobic exercise

Many people go to work, get off work, eat, and even go home by car every day. They don’t do any exercise at all throughout the day. I recommend that you get up early in the morning, run a few laps around where you live to sweat, or if your company is not far from where you live, you can walk to and from get off work. People may fall asleep easily when they feel tired, and exercise is very helpful in preventing and treating insomnia.

Fifth, develop good eating habits

The diet should be light and easy to digest. Also, be careful to avoid eating irritating foods, such as spicy hot pot, hot and sour noodles, etc., especially don't drink coffee or tea before going to bed at night. If you drink these, you won't want to sleep at night. These will excite your cerebral cortex and keep you awake.
