Do you suffer from chronic insomnia?<\/b><\/p>
Would you like to learn how to fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>
You\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t I\u2019ve had trouble sleeping on some nights. While I haven\u2019t experienced anything close to chronic insomnia, even a couple of nights of sleep deprivation wreaks havoc on my productivity and moods.<\/span><\/p> Chronic insomnia<\/span><\/a>, where you have trouble sleeping at least three nights a week for three months, is much worse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> In this guide, I look at some of the most common problems chronic insomnia causes and recommend proven solutions as well as products to help you sleep better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> These products and solutions are also great for those with insomnia that occurs once in a while or acute insomnia (lasting a few days or weeks). They can help your situation from worsening into chronic insomnia.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Many of us have experienced sleep deprivation several times, and know how it makes the next day utterly miserable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Because sleep is so vital to our wellbeing, not getting enough of it comes with many problems. It even affects your health by <\/span>increasing<\/span><\/a> the risk of various illnesses like heart disease and diabetes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Medical note: <\/b>As you try some of the solutions below, I highly recommend consulting a doctor if you have chronic insomnia. They can diagnose the root cause of the condition or refer you to a sleep specialist or psychiatrist for additional help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The most common symptom of chronic insomnia is the sheer difficulty in <\/span>falling asleep<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p> There are people who drift off the moment their head hits the pillow (lucky them) and there are those who take a while longer to sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> A sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep) of between 5 and 20 minutes is normal. For people with chronic insomnia, it can take from a half an hour to\u2026 never.<\/span><\/p> If insomnia occurs along with other problems like anxiety, you can find yourself still tossing and turning in bed hours after you turned off the lights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> The first thing to do is identify why you have chronic insomnia and address it. That\u2019s where a doctor, sleep specialist, or psychiatrist comes in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> If the cause is <\/span>medical<\/b> (e.g. an illness, depression, medication etc.) seek treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> If the cause is <\/span>lifestyle<\/b> (drinking coffee late in the day, poor sleep habits, stress, alcohol etc.), find a way to address it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Regardless of the cause, here are a few things you can do to reduce sleep latency & fall asleep faster:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p> There are three major reasons why people with chronic insomnia don't get good quality sleep once they doze off, as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p> The good news is that you can do a lot to improve your sleep environment to make it more conducive for sleep. Buying a more comfortable mattress, maintaining an optimal sleeping temperature in bed, using soothing white noise to block disruptions, managing your lighting, and avoiding the wrong foods and liquids before bed all come to mind.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t I live in a suburb with street lights close to my house. Even with the bedroom lights turned off, it doesn't get totally dark. This is a problem because I, like most people, sleep best in a super-dark bedroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> If you already have chronic insomnia, light from the street or other houses can make it harder to sleep and stay asleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> There are two simple ways to solve this problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> One, get <\/span>blackout curtains<\/b> that block all light, plunging your bedroom into total darkness. The best rated ones we found online are the <\/span>NICETOWN 100% Blackout Window Curtains<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> A less expensive option is to <\/span>wear a sleep mask to bed<\/b>. The <\/span>MZOO 3D Sleep Eye Mask<\/span><\/a> has an innovative shape that blocks all light while keeping your eyes comfortable.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t I am lucky I can sleep through a thunderstorm, but some people struggle to sleep if the fan is too loud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Many insomniacs are highly sensitive to sounds. Anything from the sound of cars outside to the whirring of appliances inside the house affects sleep quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> You could soundproof your bedroom but that\u2019s impractical for most people and does not protect you from noises coming from the room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> The best solution is to hide the offending noises with a more soothing noise. Sleep sounds not only block unwanted noises, they can also soothe you to sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> You can play sleep sounds with your phone, but if you prefer to keep gadgets away from the bedroom, use a sleep sound machine instead.
