2. Regular wake-up time

  • Happens on holidays at a fixed time, such as weekdays.
  • Wake up, see the sunlight, 15 hours later, release the sleeping hormone melatonin.
  • You should never set a bedtime routine. You should sleep when your brain is sleepy.
  • Regular sleep time can lead to sleep disturbance.
  • Feel free to sleep and wake up regularly.

3. Take a warm shower 2 hours before bed

   8 Habits to Avoid Overcoming Insomnia

  • You can fall asleep easily if you drink alcohol, but you wake up often because the sleep is shallow.
  • Refrain from drinking after 5 p.m.

2. Smoking before going to bed

  • Nicotine in cigarettes has an awakening effect and prevents sleep.

3. Consume caffeine after 6 p.m.

  • Many caffeine in coffee, black tea, carbonated drinks, chocolates, etc. is awakening and disturbing sleep.

4. Late evening exercise to make your body tired and fall asleep

  • Late evening exercise promotes the secretion of cortisol, an awakening hormone.

5. Bright interior lighting in the evening

  • The brain recognizes indoor and bedroom lighting as daylight in the evening.
  • Increased secretion of cortisol hormones that cause excitement, irritation, and arousal.

6. Obsessive to sleep & watch

  • The compulsion and stress of getting a good night's sleep is cortisol stimulation.
  • In bed where you check the time, the clock is an obsessive factor.

7. Using TV & Cell Phones in Your Bed

  • Mobile use in bed emits blue light, disturbing sleep.

8. Long-term use of sleeping pills

  • If taken for more than 4 weeks, side effects such as immunity and drug dependence will worsen insomnia.
