Everything genius is simple. Scientists have observed people with sleep disorders, in particular with the problem of falling asleep. During the experiment, it was found out that the patients who during the night changed the place to sleep, fell asleep almost immediately, and those who stayed in their usual places, were able to sleep only two hours later.
This is a conditioned reflex. When you can not sleep in your bed, it turns into a conditional stimulus. Experienced difficulties falling asleep on his usual place at least 2-3 days, and all: the brain gets used and rebuilt. Therefore, having changed the point, we start this completely sleepy story as if from a clean slate. And conditioned reflexes do not interfere in the process of falling asleep. They stay in the other room.
Let's look at the fashion trends that form these conditioned reflexes: eating in bed, watching television, smartphone under the pillow... Here you can add family showdown and many different situations. How do you expect the brain to react to all those white sheets and orthopedic pillows that should put us to sleep if we're eating here, watching a movie, arguing or texting? Yes, but listing all these stimuli, sleep won't be perfect.
What to do? In no case do not force yourself to sleep. You need to talk to yourself and find out the cause of insomnia. This conversation with yourself is one of the methods of so – called cognitive behavioral therapy. You reveal automatic thoughts that prevent you from falling asleep, or actions that lead to insomnia.
You say to yourself, "You can't sleep because you've been watching TV, playing sports, playing. The nervous system is overexcited. It takes a certain amount of time for her to calm down. Your state of arousal is perfectly normal. In an hour it will go down".
With the thoughts will be more difficult to understand, but you just need to try to calm yourself by putting them on the shelves. Under the scheme, about which we spoke time and again: "what's the problem? What caused it? What solutions exist? Which way do I choose? "By transferring the problem from the emotional sphere to the information sphere, you will immediately fall asleep with a heroic dream.
