We don't consider the basics of sleep. We shine bright light from lamps and gadgets in our faces, and our brain thinks it's daylight. The brain doesn't produce the right hormones, and we don't fall asleep.
We go to bed at different times every day. It prevents the brain from falling asleep quickly.
We watch funny comedies, scary horrors, and sad dramas before bed. We get overwhelmed with emotion, close the laptop and decide to sleep.
But now we have to let the nervous system reach its normal from 30 minutes to 2 hours! You have to pay for everything...
And there are dozens of such examples. It's like we drink coffee before bed and then don't fall asleep. It is essential to know the principles that prevent us from falling asleep. You need to know the laws of sleep.
Incorrect Mental Statements About Sleep
Often people convince themselves that they won't sleep. They keep repeating that they're not going to make it again today. And the brain thinks this is a command.
Others want to sleep too much. And they push themselves to sleep. And sleep is fragile, and if you push, sleep doesn't come.
Insomniacs have many mental statements that destroy sleep and provoke insomnia. We don't even know we have them. And we don't sleep because of them.
Your bed is a traitor. It fuels your insomnia.
If you have insomnia for more than 2 months, your brain is used to lying on the bed and not sleeping. And if you are watching something interesting in bed, your brain even likes insomnia.
So when you want to lay down and go to sleep, your brain wants to lay down and go to Netflix. Or at least to Instagram.
