Insomnia is defined as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking earlier than desired. Insomnia can be broken up into acute insomnia, which is short-term, and chronic insomnia, which is longer-term. Having difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep or waking too early at least three nights per week for at least three months is considered chronic insomnia. When the brain is wired and active due to these stressors, it makes it difficult to transition into sleep and can lead to lighter, poorer quality sleep. A steady routine When it comes to bedtime, it’s essential to dim the lights or use low-emission lights like bedside lamps 2 hours before bedtime as this helps to promote your natural melatonin release, which is the hormone that sets the stage for sleep. Adopt restful techniques Including relaxation techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, guided imagery, or progressive muscle relaxation can help to induce the relaxation response, and make it easier to fall asleep. Try sleep supplements Certain natural sleep supplements, such as magnesium, can also help improve sleep quality, which has been shown to promote deeper quality sleep. Of course, you should speak with your physician before starting any new sleep supplement. Avoid caffeine Avoid caffeine after about noon as it takes a long time ( about 5 to 6 hours) to be metabolized and eliminated from your system and could disrupt your sleep quality long after consuming it.
