anxiety and stress
John Horrax asked:


Good sleep is critically important if you want to feel your best and start your day full of beans. Lack of sleep, on the other hand, will leave you feeling weak, drowsy, tired, and negatively affects mood. Sleep recharges your mind and improves mood, mental focus, and concentration. How much sleep you need is definately personal to you - you may even need to take cat-naps during the day to catch up on sleep lost at night. Never stress out about not being able to get to sleep - relax - your body will force you to sleep when you really need it! And, theres always tommorrow night, so don’t sweat it you’ll sleep when you need to. If you find you can’t sleep, get up and go do something you enjoy with the spare time. Sleep will come to you when you need it. Your ability to sleep undisturbed and for longer periods will definately get better as you recover from anxiety.

To sleep better:

Make sleep a priority. Set aside between seven and nine hours for uninterrupted sleep per night. Try to wake up at the same time daily, even on weekends.

Bedtime routine. Avoid stimulants like coffee, chocolate, and nicotine before going to bed, don’t watch TV in bed, or use the computer, and especially don’t do anything stressful before going to bed, avoid anything stressors. Instead, read something relaxing, listen to relaxing music, do some controlled breathing exercises, or meditate.

Make sure your bedroom is dark, peaceful, and a controlled and comfortable temperature. Ensure that your bed is comfortable.

Use your bedroom to sleep, not for other activities like working. Only go to bed when your tired. If you can’t sleep within 30 minutes of lying down to sleep leave your bedroom, go to another room and relax for a time.

Exercise, regular exercise will help you to sleep better, but don’t exercise right before bed-time.

Don’t keep looking at the clock at night. In fact, I recommend you turn your clock around so that it is facing away from you at night-time.

Talk to your doctor if you still can’t get to sleep. You may require a herbal remedy or medicine to help you.
