Common Sense of the Body Episode 77 - Improving Your Life to Cure Insomnia Part 1

Many people have trouble sleeping today or can't fall asleep even though they're tired.
Insomnia is not just a "sleepless" problem, it has a significant impact on the quality of daily life and physical and mental health.
In fact, if insomnia is left untreated, it is known that it can have a wide range of negative effects, including difficulty concentrating, weakening the immune system, and even increasing mental stress and anxiety.

A multifaceted approach that combines lifestyle and sleep environment reviews, mental care, and sometimes medical interventions is effective in improving insomnia.

Review your lifestyle habits
In order to get a good night's sleep, it is essential to first adjust your daily rhythm.
Let's list the points recommended by experts.

● Ensure a regular sleep schedule
Getting on the floor at the same time every day and waking up at the same time will help stabilize your biological clock.
It is desirable not to change the time significantly on holidays.

● Making moderate exercise a habit
Aerobic exercise, such as walking or light jogging, can contribute to stress reduction and improved sleep quality.
However, avoid strenuous exercise for no more than 3 hours before sleep.

● Managing diet and caffeine intake
Avoid caffeine after the afternoon and choose a light dinner that is easy to digest.
A diet high in fat and irritants can interfere with sleep.

● Introduce stress management habits
It is a good idea to incorporate relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, and light stretching every night.
Fundamental resolution of stress is an important point in mental care.

　These lifestyle changes are easy to start but are easy to show results, and are also recommended as a natural cure for insomnia that does not rely on medication.
