Greetings again my dear friends I hope you are all well, sleeping well at night is one of the essential activities for the human being, that is why we must always be aware of any constant interruption of our sleep, by sleeping properly we give both our body and mind the necessary rest for its normal functioning.

Many people have, so to speak, an innate ability to turn into a rock when they sleep, they relax so much that they sleep deeply without realizing what is happening around them until they wake up in the morning, a conciliatory sleep with their emotions, they can have an exhausting day and come home to sleep, we would all like to do that, because although for some it is an easy task for others it is very complicated to do it.

Many people due to stress keep their mind active, leaving aside their state of relaxation that prepares them to sleep, and if this is continuous, it is possible that they are suffering from a sleep disorder such as insomnia, if on our own we cannot control this disorder, it is advisable to seek help from specialists in the field, however, many specialists recommend the following:

  • Establish an approximate time to sleep, many people who manage to sleep well, is due to their daily discipline to establish an approximate time to sleep day after day, some might say it is impossible because we spend time doing things, and we fail to set an approximate time to start the process of sleep, everything depends on our due planning.

  • Avoid making the mistake of looking at the cell phone before going to sleep, it is one of the main actions we do, especially in the dark, this makes our brain is activated, this activation will be proportional to the time devoted to the attention to the electronic device, it is advisable to turn it off or put it on silent mode, and keep it away from us, to avoid the temptation to grab it.

  • It is recommended that we have to feel comfortable in the space where we are going to sleep, and only we know how we can condition it, at what temperature, in total darkness, or a very low light, if possible to leave it as dark as possible.

  • Trying to relax the mind, although sometimes it may not seem an easy task due to any stressful situation, we must leave the worries aside in bed, for this, they recommend some techniques such as reading, writing, among others, but not in bed, the important thing is to relax mentally.

  • Avoid as much as possible activities other than sleeping in bed, many people spend many hours in bed doing different activities, such as watching TV, cell phone, reading, talking, among many others, try to use the bed only for sleeping or resting a short nap during the day.

  • Eat light, i.e., small, healthy meals, and get into the habit of eating dinner several hours before going to bed.

Interesting strategies that seek to make us fall asleep at night, maybe some of you will have others, or simply, your best strategy is to have a light sleep, to disconnect from your worries, relax your mind, and sleep like a baby.

Until another opportunity my dear friends.

Believe me I do it everyday and it takes around 1-2 hours of my time before sleep. I usually watch videos and scroll Facebook and Instagram feed. I do this until my eyes starts to close. It is really harmful to our eye sight because in dark you are only seeing the mobile light. You gave best advice that we shouldn't touch our phone before going to sleep. I will try to do this from now.

Getting to sleep is extremely important, and certainly there are people who for convenience do many activities in bed, unconsciously the brain is accustomed to consider this place as a place of work and not rest.
