Trouble Sleeping? 3 Natural Ways To Get Better Rest
If you are having trouble sleeping, you aren’t alone – about one-third of the adult population worldwide experiences insomnia at least occasionally. And for most of us, the quality of our sleep will decrease at some point in our lives. While different types of insomnia have different causes, most people can find relief through the following, regardless of the source of their sleeplessness:
- Avoid large meals late in the evening.
- Learn and practice a relaxation technique regularly: Breathing exercises, meditation and gentle yoga are good examples.
- Don’t obsess about not sleeping. Occasional sleeplessness is part of life, and does not represent a hazard to health. Consider each night as a new one, and try to expect a good night’s rest with each attempt.
