Insomnia, I can’t fall asleep, I wake up easily when I fall asleep, what should I do?

1. Go to bed on time. Stick to going to bed at your accustomed time. Your body will reactively demand rest at this time, and this should also be true on weekends and days off.

2. Maintain air circulation and appropriate temperature in the bedroom. A good environment helps you fall asleep quickly. The best temperature is 18-20°C. In dry weather, the floor should be sprinkled with water.

3. Stick to the habitual activities before going to bed. Before going to bed you should engage in certain activities that you are accustomed to: drinking medicinal tea, drinking milk, taking a bath, writing in a diary or listening to music for a while.

4. Try to eat less indigestible, greasy or pungent food at night, and do not drink alcoholic or caffeinated drinks 2 hours before going to bed.

5. Do not engage in strenuous exercise before going to bed. If you have the habit of exercising in the evening or at night, you should do it 4 hours before going to bed.

6. Don’t go to bed with problems. If there are any problems that cannot be solved at the moment, you can write them down and think about them the next day.

7. Don’t overuse your brain before going to bed. Thinking hard will make the brain abnormally excited and difficult to calm down.
