What should a man do if he can't sleep at night?

Nowadays, many middle-aged and elderly friends often wake up late at night and feel that although the body is very sleepy, they are not sleepy at all. So what is the reason? Then the following article will introduce to you the reasons for waking up at night and unable to fall asleep. Let's take a look below.

What should I do if I wake up at night and can't fall asleep?

I suggest you try acupressure while you are awake:

"Shenmen Point" is one of the acupuncture points of the Heart Meridian of the Hand Shaoyin. It is located on the wrist, on the ulnar side of the palmar longitudinal line (search for pictures on Baidu, press 200 times on each of the upper and lower wrists)

You can also try licking the gums (the cavity at the top of the tongue) with your tongue after waking up, then let more saliva come out, and then swallow it all in one gulp. Repeat this several times, and then gradually fall asleep.

The first thing is to release stress. Don't have work pressure. The more you care, the harder it is to sleep well. You can use massage and diet to improve it appropriately. Pressing the Yongquan acupoint more often and soaking your feet more often can also help you sleep.

What do boys eat when they can't sleep?

Milk

First of all, let’s talk about milk. Milk contains protein, fat, vitamins D, B, C, etc. It not only has comprehensive nutrients, but also has the functions of nourishing the heart and lungs, and replenishing qi and blood.

Drinking a glass of milk before going to bed can help you sleep. The morphine compounds and a substance called L-glutamic acid in milk can make people feel appropriately tired. It can not only have a hypnotic effect, but also avoid the side effects of tranquilizers.

Red dates

Next, let’s talk about red dates, which contain glycogen, protein, vitamin C, citric acid, mucus, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. They have the benefits of strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and blood, and calming the nerves and promoting sleep.

After dinner, boil red dates in water and add some brown sugar; or boil ten red dates and five green onions in water to drink; or boil red dates and lilies to make porridge, all of which can improve sleep quality.

Six tips to help you get good sleep

1. Resolve your anxiety

Staying up all night worrying is a common cause of insomnia. Instead of thinking about these worries in your head, try writing them down. Write down everything that is troubling your mind. It doesn't have to be a whole novel, just two or three concise sentences will do. Always remind yourself that worrying is not a solution, especially at night, you will still have time to think about it during the day.

2. Deal with it with a proactive attitude

Looking at the world with a positive outlook can help restore your logical thinking. List at least 5 things you are grateful for. In the evening, think about how others have helped you and what you have learned since middle school. Start each sentence with "thank you" and "I appreciate it."
