Everyone has this problem
There is hardly a person who has not had sleep problems at least once in his life. Those who are almost accustomed to waking up at midnight know how painful it is to maintain a normal rhythm of life if the night’s rest is lame.
We also know that waking up at three in the morning has a very logical explanation. But how to fall asleep most easily if it happens?
Woman and Home consults with specialists to give us the most useful advice on this. And they remind us that it’s good to first identify the reasons for waking up – from increased levels of stress through the need to visit the toilet to the snoring of our partner.
Deep breathing
The first key piece of advice when we wake up in the middle of the night is not to look at our phone to check what time it is. This is a sure way to wake up even more. Instead, we should try deep diaphragmatic breathing and tell ourselves that even if we don’t fall asleep right away, we will use the time to relax. This relieves the stress of waking up.
The rule of 20 minutes
If more than 20 minutes have passed and we still have not fallen asleep, sleep experts advise us to get up and do something different. For example, to open the window and take a deep breath, take a sip of water or walk around the room for a few minutes. Then we can try to go to bed again.
No blue light
We will not tire of repeating that the light from the screens of electronic devices is a sure way to reduce the production of melatonin – the sleep hormone.
