Finding it Tough to Fall asleep at Night
You want to fall asleep. You're exhausted and it's just the middle of the week. If you do not sleep well tonight, you will be a wreck at the office tomorrow. You feel eager to sleep. You lie in bed worrying. Hours past and you are still awake. You contemplate calling in sick tomorrow, but you're workload is mounting up. You barely obtain a couple of hours sleep and it is already the next day. The cycle continues.
Many of us find it hard to go to sleep at night and many of times we cannot explain it. Oddly enough, it's ourselves that usually sabotage our own sleep through negative thinking and emotions. Normal sleepers go to sleep usually with little difficulty. What exactly makes sleep come so easily for them?
We're not born an insomniac and absolutely you can now suffer from insomnia. So what's the difference from a normal sleeper and somebody who has difficulty sleeping, and just how does someone become an insomniac?
Firstly, there are endless causes of insomnia; emotional stress, environmental changes, drug abuse, psychological and psychological problems are all potential triggers for insomnia.
Secondly you will find varying types and degrees of insomnia. Transient, intermittent and chronic insomnia would be the three main types, but insomnia can differ a great deal from person to person. Some people may find it tough to fall asleep several nights a month or during periods of stress and sleep like babies typically. Others may suffer from insomnia every night.
When a normal sleeper goes to sleep, she or he doesn't consider getting or otherwise getting any sleep. They simply get into bed, come out the lights and sleep just comes. They don't worry and lie in wake thinking about anything. Their sleep onset mechanism is strong. Of course, this is not forever the situation. A healthy sleeper may suffer from sleeplessness once and a while.
Think about when you attend sleep. Are you sabotaging your sleep? Do you fall asleep worrying concerning the following day and not getting any sleep? Anxiety, emotional stress and worry aren't the only real triggers for poor sleep, however they often have a decisive element in whether a person gets sleep or otherwise.
You can fall asleep during the night without worrying about sleep. But it needs time to work to understand how to forget about thoughts. For a lot of insomniacs their bed triggers wakefulness, simply because they have learnt to associate it with sleeplessness. Negative conditioning such as this, can be unlearned and substituted for positive ones with time.
