If you suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and can’t fall asleep in any way, the main thing is not to think about the need to sleep, otherwise anxiety will drive away the remnants of sleep. Such advice was given by sleep doctor Mikhail Kotenkov, Toppress.kz reports.
According to the expert, in order to minimize such situations, you need to drink less coffee and not pick up the phone, as these factors can knock down the biological rhythms of the body. If the night awakening has already occurred, you need to concentrate on breathing.
It happens that sleep is interrupted by a mechanical factor: noise, pain or the activity of a pet. In this case, the doctor advises a glass of water, inhale four times, turn the pillow over to the cooler side in order to return to sleep again. If the awakening happened for no reason, it is possible that the body prevented the drop in heart rate, preventing you from dying in your sleep. In this case, you can walk around for a few minutes, and then go back to sleep.
At the same time, the specialist drew attention to the fact that each person is unique and even universal advice may not work for everyone. Therefore, it is important to find your own strategies for maintaining healthy sleep.
