Many people have experienced insomnia in their lives. Insomnia will make the next day's life very unbalanced. So how to treat insomnia depression? What is the best food to eat?

Insomnia and depression treatment methods

1. Adjust your mentality: When we have insomnia, don’t worry too much, because the more nervous we are and the more we force ourselves to fall asleep, the more likely it is that the result will be counterproductive. Some people, after suffering from insomnia for many consecutive days, will think that if they continue like this, their brain will not get enough rest, and they will either die young or get sick. Excessive anxiety caused by such worry is more harmful to sleep itself.

2. Eliminate the causes of insomnia: There are many causes of insomnia, and it is not difficult to find them as long as we pay a little attention. If the causes of our insomnia are eliminated, insomnia will gradually get better. For insomnia, we must seek medical treatment in time, and do not think that this is just a small problem, otherwise it will easily cause the condition to worsen.

3. Proper sleeping posture: The sleeping posture should be comfortable, which varies from person to person. Health expert Cao Cishan pointed out in "Sleeping Tips": "When lying on the left side, bend the left foot, bend the left arm, support the head with the hand, stretch the right foot, and place the right hand between the right thigh. The opposite is true when lying on the right side." This sleeping posture is conducive to relaxation of the whole body and a sound sleep.

4. Adapt to the environment: Some people who travel frequently may easily suffer from insomnia due to the constant change of sleeping environment. Therefore, such people should be mentally prepared for business trips and take the initiative to adjust to be prepared for any eventuality, so as not to worry about not sleeping well due to nervousness.
