psychology Story: How to go to sleep faster? A simple way that works

Healthy sleep is very important for our mental and physical health. Today a lot of people find it difficult to stick to a correct sleep/wake cycle and have troubles with falling asleep. The main reason is stress caused by modern life. What can we do to reduce it and sleep like a baby?

There is a method that really works. It works even for soldiers whose every day activity is associated with high risks to their life and sleep deprivation can cause fatal mistakes.

#1 First of all, try to relax all your facial muscles. Don't forget about the jaw and eyes

#2 Now relax your shoulders and arms, then relax both hands

#3 Relax your chest and legs. Don't forget about the toes

#4 Now try to relax your mind

Body and muscles relaxation is the first step. Now throw all your negative thoughts away and control your breath. It should be calm and deep.

#5 You can think about having a rest in a boat on a calm lake

Or you can repeat the phrase "don't think, don't think" for 10-15 seconds. You can also imagine yourself relaxing in a hammock under many different trees. Choose the best image that relaxes your mind. Nervous and immune systems are the first to suffer from lack of sleep. So, don't risk, try this method and have a good sleep.

I talk to God before I go to bed, place all my cares and concerns in His hands and leave them there. Trust Him, thank Him and rest peacefully.

Reading law books puts me to sleep real fast.

I just think black - it works for me. Think black and other thoughts are blanked out. It takes some practice.

Listen to relaxing country music of 80s!

I tell me a story in my head. I must be a very tedious narrator cos I never stay awake long enough to finish it

I learned this when I went to my childbirth classes, over 61 years ago! Still use it to this day! Only started with the toes and worked upwards! 😊👍

I drink lemon juice to get a sleep.

Linda Spreng

I do a big stretch, then I also make sure I've relaxed (as Forest Gump would say) my buttocks. A perfect solution for me.

Sue Colvin

I find reading chapter or Two on my Kindle does the job.
