Insomnia remedies: How to deal with insomnia naturally without medication

People often ask me, why can’t I sleep even though I’m tired? Or – I’m exhausted or tired but can’t sleep. Or they have been telling that I don’t fall asleep, I’ve been up all night but no sleep. Most of the time it is because you are affected by comorbid insomnia. You have been through a lot whole day that should make you tired and you should fall asleep under any condition, but you cannot because you are too much anxious about something. So my first suggestion would be to get rid of it. I know it is not quite possible to give up all the tension overnight but you have to try, and with practice, you can do it. Getting too much anxious which do not do any good, is not a good thing. Get rid of it.

Now, let’s move onto the next part. Here you will face a thorough walk through for reducing other little things that might strafe your sound sleep.

1. Try To Maintain The Same Sleeping Schedule

The most effective way to deal with insomnia is to build a nice and consistent sleeping pattern. By default,the human body wants to be a part of punctuality. And by practicing this very good practice, your body is getting entitled to a routine. Ever wondered even your tummy is almost full, why do you crave food when it is time for dinner or launch? It’s because your body is familiar with consuming food at certain times and it wants food then.

You will have to try to develop your sleep like this. No matter how tired you are or not, no matter what did you do today, your body will seek sleep if you can build this sleeping schedule successfully.

2. Exercise If Not Properly Tired – Not Too Late

Exercising is another key activity that makes life and body healthy. But in this case, while sleeping is the main fact to discuss, you do not always have to exercise. If you feel inside that you are not tired enough, if your job and lifestyle do not allow you to get tired and you feel this urge inside you that I am not tired enough for a sweet sound sleep, Exercise!!!

However, if you feel that you are very much tired without exercising additionally; you already do a lot of work throughout the day that makes you tired but still you cannot sleep, I suggest you focus onto other key things described here and will be described here before exercising. I am not opposing exercising in any way, exercising is great and you just cannot conduct a healthy life without exercising but if you are experiencing sleeplessness and tiredness won’t help you in terms of sleeping, I think exercising won’t help.

A quick tip to those who have decided to exercise to get rid of insomnia, do not work out at a late hour at night. Exercising increase the blood circulation rate, it affects the blood flow into your brain and this will prevent you from sleeping.

3. Comfort Is A Key – Ensure Comfort

Comfort and sleep, both are very closely related to each other. If you want to sleep, you should create a very comfortable surrounding for a nice, cozy sleep. Make sure you are surrounded by the adequate amount of pillows or blankets or whatever that helps you to sleep. This ‘adequacy’ might differ from person to person. Some people love to be surrounded by a plenty of pillows and blankets, some are not. Ornament your bed with things you’ll be needing for sleeping.

4. Try To Consume Almost None to Very Low Caffeine

To all tea, coffee or any kind of caffeine-enriched drinks lover, this can be the toughest job to do for you. But admit it that it has to be done. Caffeine is known as one of the most stimulation generating drink. It prevents sleep, resulting in sleeplessness which you never wanted. I know it is very hard but here’s a simple tip for you, you may reduce caffeine intake starting by shutting down that one closest to your bedtime. Say you regularly drink tea or coffee at 10pm when you go to bet at eleven. Put aside other caffeine intakes. Stop this one right now. Stop other gradually at a later time, but stopping this one is a must to deal with your insomnia.

5. Do Not Smoke

Cigarettes are another stimulant just like caffeine. Nicotine is even stronger stimulant than caffeine. Nicotine keeps a person aware more than he should or he would, and this will keep you awake.

I saw person passing whole night without sleep puffing away cigarettes one after another. Such you will never be able to deal with your insomnia.

6. Do Not Leave Your Dinner Too Close To Your Bed Time

Consider this as a bad habit. Eating dinner late is not good. As soon as you finish your meal, your body starts processing the food and this keeps your body busy. How can you expect a good sleep while your digestion is going with a full throttle?

Moreover, if you build a habit of eating late; your body will make this a routine work and you won’t be able to sleep for sudden food craving. It is better that you finish all of your eating before 8pm.

7. Have To Drink Something? Drink Something Without Caffeine Instead

If you really have to drink anything before going to bed, I have some good news for you. There are teas like chamomile which are made to help you get to sleep. But never ever drink something that contains caffeine like green tea or others.

8. Do Something Before Sleep Just For Relaxation

Most co-morbid insomnia sufferers going under the perception of sleeplessness, experience insomnia for anxiety. Life can be full of stressful activities and this might trigger acute anxiety into one.

So, if you ask how to deal with insomnia due to anxiety? The answer is ‘Do something that relaxes you’.

I am not telling you to give up all anxiety overnight. That is not possible if you live in a human world, but what you can do to suppress the feeling is doing what you love the most. It can be anything. Some love gardening. If you are one of them, go out. Spend some time in your garden. It will help you to sleep relatively well.

9. Close Your Eyelids Beset With A Healthy, Sleep-friendly environment

If the adjacent environment is not sleep-friendly, even if you are not an insomnia sufferer; you will face problem sleeping. Uneven bedding, a dirty room full of tiny dirt particles, noise etc. can be considered as a non-sleep friendly environment.

You will have to change the scenario upside down as you are a troubled sleeper. Here’s what you can do. Fill the room with things you like while sleeping. Discover what persuade you to sleep. For example, music did a great job here when I had trouble sleeping. I had my very own personal relaxing and ear-soothing music playlist. And those were bull’s eye. At first, I had to go through all the music but gradually, I fall asleep after two or three songs.

You do what helps you the most. Maybe it is a very dim light, or comfy pillows and mattress, or music – like myself. Figure out what helps you the most for sleeping and start adopting that right now, right away! Sleep will come.

Well, that’d be all. I think your co-morbid insomnia will be gone if you properly follow the nurture given up above.

If you still get trouble sleeping, here are some weird ideas that might help you to get going. Well, confessing first, these are weird but trust me; I have seen people getting helped by these weird methods.

10. If There Is Not A Single Trace Of Sleep In Miles, Get Up!

It’s already two in the morning and still no sleep? Neither a very slight glimpse of it? Get up. Do something. Sleep is not gonna come this way. The best thing is to sacrifice the sleep and try to sleep the next night.

11. Wear Sunglasses While Watching TV Or Staying In Front of a monitor

Weird, isn’t it? But it helps. TVs and monitors emit bad lights that mess with your eyes and circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm means the invisible clock inside your body which decides when to eat when to sleep. Try watching TV putting your sunglass on. It might not be a great TV watching experience, but your eyes will be into a great comfort zone that leads to sleep.

While watching TVs, your brain knows that this is going to be a bad experience for your eyes and your brain tries to create a counter measurement for your eyes. While you watch TV with your sunglass one, this will surprises you along with your brain and your mind and give you a very relaxing circumstance.

12. Never Ever Sleep Late In The Next Morning

Sleep is a very basic need for your body. Whether you can sleep or not, your body requires sleep and without you are in a very bad insomniac condition (which is rare), you will sleep but not in a healthy time.

Say you sleep late and wake up late. This is going to be a very bad sleep cycle for you. If you make this a habit, say goodbye to good night sleeps. You are going to live the rest of your life by getting awake all night and sleeping in the morning late.

If the night has passed without sleep, do a tad more arduous work and do not sleep the next day. Sleep will automatically come to you in the next night.

I am not offering that these methods will help every trouble sleeper living silently with agony out there, I am just suggesting that try this method. Maybe your insomniac condition will be gone.
