I know that many of you are not good at sleeping, the problem isn’t sleeping but the main reason is to fall asleep part. The moment our body touches the bed and we rest our body fully on the bed our body slows down, and the brain speeds up which leads our mind to think more, and we end up trying and trying more harder to sleep which results in less sleep only.
Trying to sleep or forcing yourself to sleep is a fatal hunt for several reasons, Attempting to make yourself sleep stimulates your mindful mind, which is precisely the opposite of what we want when trying to settle in for the night. Making sleep is a doomed quest for several reasons. Considering too hard about sleep is part of the problem. To transition to sleep, your mind needs a chance to slow down. Your mind and body have to be in a state of repose to sleep. Relaxation, when used as a scientific term, symbolizes the physical slowing down of processes after a period of tension or activity. Because it’s a real physical phenomenon, no matter how much we tell ourselves that some of the screen-based things we do to fall asleep — like watching TV or scrolling Insta — relax us, it’s not true on a physical level. Screens are exciting, even if whatever’s on them seems enjoyable and chill.
The other thing is that because sleep requires a reduction in physical activity, it helps if you are getting some activity to start with. Exercise, it turns out, is important for sleep, not just because it tires you out — which helps your body get into a state of relaxation — but because when you exercise, your body produces hormones that are calming, says Bailey. You don’t have to do an intense workout to enjoy a good sleep, he explains, almost any sort of physical exercise will help your sleep to some degree.
Sleep seems like something that shouldn’t be rocket science, but it is, in fact, a scientific phenomenon. For me, that feels pretty liberating. If I can’t sleep, it’s not a character defect or anything, it just means the physical conditions aren’t exactly right for relaxation. That seems like a very solvable problem — as long as I don’t try to think too hard about solving it right before bed.
