Insomnia Causes To Be Aware Of

Stress

There's no question feeling stressed can take its toll on sleep patterns. In addition to making falling asleep more difficult, these feelings can keep you from sleeping deeply, so you're prone to frequent waking. Worrying overtime can also lead to stressful dreams, which leave you feeling less rested than you would otherwise.

If you're feeling overly stressed, try to follow a relaxing routine before bedtime. Turn off the phone at least an hour before turning in, and keep away from the television for the same amount of time. Try writing down any of the problems or frustrations you encountered throughout the day, along with suggestions on how to avoid similar difficulties in the future. Take note of any sore or aching muscles and treat them with hot compresses or mild analgesics. You might also work stretching exercises into your evening routine for an endorphin boost before bed.
