| Here's what helped me. I would not wake up rested, I could not fall asleep properly. I was tired and moody all the time. Living was turning into a hellish nightmare, one sorry day at a time. There were a few aspects to this for me, most of which I'd be cancelled for bringing up here -- so won't venture there. What I can say is: Do the opposite. Which means, stay awake till you can't physically stay awake anymore. But your wake up time is fixed. You wake up at 6am now. Don't stress the bed time. Like another poster said, go all out physical activity-wise. I'm not necessarily talking gym. We move our body a miniscule amount compared to even 100 years ago. This is manifesting itself in many diseases, the mildest of which is sleeplessness. - do some gardening or spending time with soil and nature - does it take only 2 type to bring in groceries? Make it take 5. - always take the stairs. - can you walk or bicycle to work/grocery? Your intent should be to fall dead when you hit the sack at night. What helped me was eating freshly made food only. Either raw or just cooked. No food from the fridge. Eating twice a day - brunch and dinner. This will actually reduce the amount you sleep, but when you sleep the quality is much higher. I also stopped eating anything meat-based and dropped all caffeine, but that's up to you. It's been a complete 180 -- energy, mood, clarity and enthusiasm. I don't feel half dead everyday. |
