We have all been there. You do all the right things. You stop drinking liquids after 6:00 pm. Follow your nighttime routine and go to be early.
Even though you are exhausted falling asleep is impossible. You end up tossing and turning all night long. After giving up you finally fall asleep at 4:00 am. The alarm goes off at 6:00 am. The entire day is now a struggle.
What prevents us from having a good night sleep?
- A Poor Environment: Noise and disruptions, lighting, electromagnetic interference.
- Comfort: Too hot, too cold, hard bed, rough sheets, uncomfortable clothing.
- Stress: Too many thoughts and problems that need to be solved.
- Chemicals and Medications: Drinking coffee before bed, medications such as stimulants, etc.
- Pain: Headaches, muscle aches, and injuries can all prevent restful sleep.
- Hormone Imbalance: Menopause and poor eating habits.
- Medical Conditions: Being sick with the flu or cold, digestive issues and injuries are some examples of conditions that will inhibit sleep.
