Insomnia significantly impacts well-being. Quality sleep is essential for health, yet chronic insomnia can lead to severe issues like diabetes, obesity, and depression, increasing accident risks akin to drowsy driving.

With 50 to 70 million Americans suffering from sleep-related problems, natural remedies such as holistic therapy such as therapeutic massage, and acupuncture are well-explored.

Self-Care for Insomnia

Try these self-care tips to improve your sleep:

  • Stick to a Sleep Schedule — Go to bed and wake up simultaneously every day.
  • Establish a Bedtime Routine — Engage in relaxing activities like reading or meditation before sleep.
  • Create a Sleep-Friendly Environment — Keep your room calm, dark, and quiet, and ensure your mattress and pillows are comfortable.
  • Limit Screen Time Pre-Bed — Avoid electronic devices an hour before sleep.
  • Avoid Stimulants — Cut back on caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol in the evening.
  • Exercise Regularly — Stay active for better sleep, but not too close to bedtime.
  • Manage Stress — Use relaxation techniques or seek support to combat stress and anxiety.
  • Avoid Daytime Napping — Skip naps or limit them to 20-30 minutes in the early afternoon.
  • Stop Clock-Watching — Focus on relaxing rather than checking the time.
  • Consider CBT-I — Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia can help address negative sleep-related thoughts.
  • Alternative Therapy — Body & mind maintenance like Therapeutic Massage, Acupuncture, and meditation
