fidgeting on the bed. The ears can now

6. Here is a list of
things that you
can do to help
cure insomnia

7. 1. Develop healthy sleeping habits
Even if sleep is elusive, go to bed each day
at the same time at around 10 and wake up
by 7 (depending on your daily schedule,
reserve 9 hours for the entire process of
sleep).

8. Erratic sleeping patterns and prolonged
naps during the day send your biological
clock for a toss. Avoid these and also
excessive consumption of tea or coffee.

9. 2. Stress management
Stress, from any source of your
life, can induce insomnia.

stretch your arms and
legs and generally
maintain a positive
outlook. Talk to your
friends and family and
reach out to a doctor if
the problem persists.

This therapy aims to dispel
any undesirable thoughts
about sleep that may crowd
your mind and keep you
awake. You may want to try
this therapy if sleep has
now become a distant
dream.

12. 4. Sleeping aids
While over the counter
drugs are strongly
discouraged as they
may have long-term
repercussions,
medicines can be taken
if your doctor so
advises.

13. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates sleep
cycle and sometimes melatonin supplements
are advised to people who suffer from jet lag
induced insomnia.

of hormones that
will help you feel
good about
yourself.

exhaustion
to creep in
and
ensure
that you
get a good
night’s
sleep.
