What should I do if my husband doesn’t sleep at night?

Nowadays, men are under more and more pressure. So apart from being busy with work every day, they seem to have very little free time, except going home to sleep. However, many men find it difficult to fall asleep after returning home, which makes their wives feel very troubled. If the husband does not sleep, it means that they are likely to be affected and even lack sex life. So, what should I do if my husband does not sleep at night?

1. “No Sleep” Method

The "No Sleep" method: For people who wake up as soon as they lie down

This method seems inhumane, "I'm already suffering from insomnia and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. Why do you want me to stay awake?" But it is the best way to solve insomnia. This method is not suitable for "night owl" type insomnia, because it is not time to go to bed yet! "Not sleeping" means telling yourself that you can't sleep unless you feel sleepy.

The specific approach is:

1. Go to bed when you feel sleepy;

2. Within 10 to 15 minutes, if you don’t fall asleep, get out of bed and read a book or watch TV. Read books that are easy to pick up and put down, or articles that are easy to understand, such as short stories, comedies, or stories you liked in your childhood.

Or write down the thoughts that you can't stop thinking about. If you don't feel sleepy, don't stop. If you still can't fall asleep when you go to bed again, then get out of bed and concentrate on repeating what you just did.

3. No matter how well you sleep at night, set the alarm clock to wake yourself up on time in the morning;

4. Do not take naps during the day. Even if you feel sleepy, you must tell yourself that you can only rest when it is time to go to bed at night.

2. Drink a glass of warm milk

The calcium in milk is a calming substance. Drinking warm beverages is a good habit that can relax the body and feel like a reward at the end of the day.

Milk contains two kinds of hypnotic substances. One is L-tryptophan, which is the raw material for promoting the synthesis of sleep serotonin. Due to the effect of L-tryptophan, people often fall asleep with just a glass of milk. The other is peptides that regulate the physiological functions of the body, including several "opium-like peptides". These substances can bind to the central nervous system or peripheral opium peptide receptors to exert an anesthetic and analgesic effect similar to opium, making the whole body feel comfortable, which is conducive to falling asleep and relieving fatigue, and will not make people addicted. The hypnotic effect of milk is particularly obvious for people with neurasthenia due to physical weakness. Therefore, you can drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed.

Onions and milk are good for sleep

Currently, there is a folk remedy for treating insomnia circulating among the Romanian people: drink a glass of hot milk mixed with chopped onion or onion juice one hour before going to bed. It is said that it can make people sleep well and sleep sweetly.

For those who don't want to drink milk, they can also eat a small plate of raw onion chopped before going to bed, and put a small amount of salt and olive oil (or sesame oil) in the onion. For those who have trouble sleeping due to high blood pressure, put chopped onions in a glass of water, then add some vinegar and olive oil (or sesame oil), drink the water half an hour to 40 minutes before going to bed, and eat a small piece of bread while drinking the water.

In today's world where "food supplements are worse than medicine", if insomniacs adopt proper food therapy, it will have a certain hypnotic effect.
