How to Get Rid of Insomnia and Have a Good Sleep Like a Baby
The great majority of us have incredibly busy daily schedules. Finding balance is important because it can often feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to fit everything in. This includes employment, caring for children, family life, love relationships, adventures, errands and chores, and the general bustle of daily life. Despite this, we consider everything to be significant and insist that we should never neglect good care of ourselves, healthy eating, or physical activity. To be able to accomplish everything, you need to recharge through having great sleep, or sometimes a nap.
Sleep, on the other hand, is something that we flip over when we become breadwinner sometime as parents or when we are going through stressful or difficult times. And we're talking about quality sleep here, as in deep, uninterrupted sleep. Insomnia is a dark shadow that can cause far more than dark circles under our eyes. It's a substantial condition that causes far more harm than we think.
So what is Insomnia exactly?
To put it into simple words Insomnia means, lack of sleep or poor sleep. Poor sleep can mean struggling to get to sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, waking up too early, waking up for a long time in the night, and waking up not feeling refreshed or feeling tired after a night's sleep.
What Causes Insomnia?
Insomnia is caused by a variety of factors such as psychological, lifestyle, and environmental. Psychological can be a result of anxiety, stress, depression, pain, or result of medications. Environmental forms like sounds, noises, or light. Lifestyle events include smoking and drinking, watching TV, or playing on our phones right before we go to bed which can trick our bodies into wanting to stay active rather than being dormant.

Natural ways to overcome Insomnia
The human body has an internal clock that guides our body's rhythms and is in sync with a regular sleep schedule. We can optimize this synchronization with our natural internal rhythm by doing the following routines:
Daytime Routines:
• Establish a consistent time for waking up each day. Even if you think you have not yet gotten enough sleep, try to adhere to this schedule seven day a week. This should improve your sleep quality.
• Avoid taking long naps during the day, ideally a nap should be approximately 20-30 minutes to have a high chance of getting better sleep at night
•Try to exercise every day, but not for at least five hours before bedtime.
Bedtime Routines:
• Avoid eating a large meal right before bedtime.
• Avoid taking coffee and tea a few hours before bed.
• Avoid consuming alcohol and smoking, especially right before bed.
• Avoid using electronic devices or watching TV before going to bed.
• Before going to bed, make lists of your concerns and any solutions you have since this may assist you in trying to forget about them until you wake up.
• Do not lie in bed struggling to sleep and being worried about lack of sleep within the 20 minutes, but rather get up and go to another room, and do something relaxing like reading a book or listening to a piece of soothing music for about 20 minutes then try again going to sleep.
Bedroom Environment Routines:
• If the bright street lamps or early morning sunlight disrupts your sleep, use thick curtains or blinds or wear an eye mask.

• Maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature in your bedroom. The ideal room temperature recommended by doctors is between 15-18 degrees

• Your bedroom should only be used for sleeping or sex. While in bed, avoid watching tv, eating, or using your bedroom as a working space.
• Check that your mattress is comfortable, that you have a pillow that is comfortable, and that you have enough bedding for the season.
There are solutions, to any problem, but there is no miracle cure. You must try, attempt, adapt, evaluate, and, most importantly, not give up. Seek advice from a healthcare professional if necessary to discuss sleep issues. Your way of life is important, but so is your sleep.
