For two years, my sleep was weird. Anxiety, medication, depression, stress, all of this caused me to sleep weirdly.
The text was created under the patronage of Klaudyna Hebda’s brand. But two weeks of vacation did their job and this time the tea had a different effect. I didn’t just fall asleep. I rested for the first time in a long time. How did that happen? What did I change in my lifestyle? What did I learn while searching for the answer to where my insomnia had gone? Here are the answers:
How much we sleep, when we sleep and when we wake up
I supposedly knew how paytm database important it is not only to have a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, but also a consistent number of hours of sleep. Back in high school, I was one of the few who didn’t complain about getting up early – when I went to bed at around 11pm and woke up at 7am, and there was regularity, I felt quite calm, I practiced swimming, I was active in the school newspaper, student government, and as long as it was regular and there was no sensory overload, I functioned perfectly.
How it all went downhill later is a different story, but from experience and in accordance with psychologists’ recommendations, I’ve been sleeping 7 to 8 hours a day since the beginning of January. Not 12 or 14 like before [on medication] and not 4 or 5 like when I stopped taking medication.
[any extreme is genuinely unhealthy for us].
A fixed number of hours of you probably made some sleep helps with a fixed time of waking up. I am a night owl, so it is very difficult for me to adjust to early waking up, but I can somehow tolerate around 6:30 and I stick to waking up at this time even on weekends [last Saturday I was cleaning the chicken coop at 8]. It has come to the point where I don’t even have to set an alarm during the week, even if I party [like yesterday] and go to bed after midnight, my internal clock after 2 months of training will still wake me up around 6:30.
How much light we see
Sometimes, when I have a lot of china data things to write, I drop it every 30-40 minutes and go outside to look at the garden. It’s not that I’m particularly impressed by it [sometimes yes, sometimes no], but I feel that I simply need light. My house is quite dark and when it’s bright outside, it’s usually semi-darkness in my house – this is not conducive to activating sleep. This is how our brain works – for years of evolution, daylight was the only signal for our internal clock, informing us what time of day it is and whether it’s time to sleep or be active. Today, electric light has completely disrupted the operation of this clock – during the day we spend time indoors, at night we illuminate ourselves with lamps and then we demand from our body to produce melatonin and fall asleep – why should it do that?
What we drink
I don’t drink alcohol and I’ve cut back on coffee significantly and stopped drinking it after 5 p.m. Interestingly there was a period last year when I couldn’t sleep during . Which I thought alcohol would help me fall asleep and in the evening . I would sit down with a glass of wine and then… I couldn’t sleep . And I couldn’t work because I was “drunk”. So frustrated by this fact, I was even more stressed that I was behind in something and I still couldn’t sleep because of the stress. A cycle of despair.
