Sleeping With Enemies - The 4 Most Common Enemies of Sleep

When you have difficulty sleeping, it can be a very difficult situation to understand. But the mechanics of sleep are often clearer than they seem. Here are 4 sleep enemies that when eliminated can help you get a good night's sleep every night.

Anxiety-There are many things that can cause anxiety and an inability to rest and sleep. Life changing situations such as divorce, divorce, a change in work or career, or the death of a loved one can cause emotional trauma. Exercise, a proper diet, eating a healthy diet, and connecting with friends are all ways you can try to manage your own anxiety.

If these things do not help, seeking counseling and consulting with a professional who may be able to provide medication may help improve your ability to release your anxiety and sleep.

Physical anxiety-If you do not sleep alone, you may have a disorder that does not make you sleep. A strong snorer, a late night television viewer, or someone who earnestly uses light to read at night can all work to get a good night's sleep.

Luckily there are many non-invasive things to try to snore, and there are some other things you can try to create a better mood for sleep.

You can ask that the bedroom be provided for sleeping, and television and reading are done elsewhere after certain hours of the night. If they are not a viable option, think about using ear plugs and eye masks or sleeping masks. While it may seem strange to you when you are in bed, the pay may just be a good night's sleep.

Stimulants--- Often the foods and drinks you eat contain caffeine or substances that can stimulate your body and really keep you awake. Soda with caffeine, coffee, tea, chocolate, and more candy can make it very difficult for you to let go, relax, and sleep.

Restricting your intake and storing up your sleep can make all the difference in how well you sleep.

Some medications can cause you to fall asleep. There are many over the counter medications for cold relief and allergies that can keep you awake.

And of course, how you respond to medications is completely unique, so if you find that the medication causes you to stay awake, try taking it next time or ask your doctor and / or pharmacist to suggest alternatives.

Exercise is a great natural stimulus. But make sure you exercise in the morning or long enough before bedtime so you can sleep easily.

Airborne irritation- Environmental pollution in the air can be a source of irritation to your body. And no matter how clean your home is, these air pollutants seem to be the best way home.

Pets, dust, dust mites, mold spores and mushrooms, and pollen are just some of the irritants that can find your way into your bedroom. If your body is sensitive to one or a combination of these respiratory triggers, the bedroom can be a battlefield rather than a bed for sleep.

Having your body try to fight this invisible irritation can produce symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, congestion, and irritation that will not only affect a peaceful night's sleep.

Always filtering the air in your bedroom whether you are at home or outdoors is one of the most non-invasive and proactive steps you can take to get a good night's sleep every night.
