If you can't sleep don't stay in bed thinking "I have to sleep" again and again. Tell yourself "OK, right now the body is awake" and get up and do something. I tend to read a book (without too much action!) or knit or crochet. Then, after perhaps half an hour, I go to bed again. Most often that helps.
Insomnia happens in your head, too. So breaking this circle of "I have to sleep" - "I have to get up in X hours" - "Why can't I sleep" is the most important thing. Even if that half hour of knitting doesn't make me sleepy - it soothes the brain. And I got some more rows done :)
Depends on how severe is your case. If it occurs few times a year then there are some techniques:
Don't use phones/tv 1-2 hours before sleep
Use twilight app on your phone to dim screen to yellow(blue light is bad for sleep)
Dim your bedroom as dark as possible
Use white noise generators(there are apps for that)
Do meditation(at least a month, to see effect)
Exercise - get your body exhausted
BUT, if it happens a lot, then there has to be a reason for it. Don't wait and get help from psychiatrist or a sleep doctor. There can be many reasons why you can't sleep - don't wait, sooner you reach out the better :)
To be able to treat insomnia, you need to think about what causes you to sleep. Factors causing insomnia vary, ranging from the effects of lifestyle, room comfort issues, until the psychological disorders, physical health problems, and side effects of drugs. Here are some tips for treating insomnia:
Change Bad Lifestyle
One lifestyle that is not good and can cause insomnia is smoking, because the content of nicotine contained in it is believed to make you hard to sleep. So quit smoking, if you want to overcome insomnia.
Discipline yourself with a Regular Sleep Pattern
Unchanging bedtime or frequent changes also trigger insomnia, because it can interfere with circadian rhythms that regulate the body's metabolism, as well as sleep and wake cycles. Usually people who work hours change or people who jetlag after a long flight, susceptible to this insomnia. The fix is to set a regular sleep pattern and discipline yourself to sleep and wake up at the appointed time.
Familiarizing yourself to sleep when you feel tired and avoid a too long nap can also help restore your sleep patterns.
Make Room Atmosphere as Comfortable as possible
By adjusting the lighting so as not to disturb you sleep and adjust the room temperature that makes you comfortable.
Stop Bad Eating Habits
You should not eat foods or drinks that contain caffeine before bed. Because according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, eating foods or drinks that contain 400 mg of caffeine six hours before bed can affect sleep quality. In addition to caffeine, drinking alcohol can indeed make a person easy to fall asleep, but can not make you sleep.
In addition to drinks, eat to a glut also can make you difficult to sleep, because the body will feel uncomfortable when rested. After eating directly sleep also has the potential to cause heartburn.
Exercising
Exercising regularly has been shown to improve the quality of sleep, although the impact can only be felt after several months.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
If some of the above still can not overcome your insomnia, usually the doctor will advise you to run cognitive behavioral therapy. This therapy can help change the behavior and mindset that affect your sleep. One method is to reduce your sleep time so that you will actually feel the need to sleep, and thus your sleep time will increase by itself.
