I don't take any prescriptions. Guess I must have been stressed or thinking too much. Once I told myself to clear my mind I was able to fall back asleep (around 5 AM). Is this what meditation is like?

"there is sufficient evidence that intentional deep breathing can actually calm and regulate the autonomic nervous system. This system regulates involuntary body functions like temperature. It can lower blood pressure and provide an almost-immediate sense of calm. Box breathing can reduce stress and improve your mood. That makes it an exceptional treatment for conditions like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. It can also help treat insomnia by allowing you to calm your nervous system at night before bed. Box breathing can even be efficient at helping with pain management." Here are some other options for you: Chamomile tea Ashwaganda powder - tastes terrible, but works great. Also synergistic with alcohol Can assist in sleep when taken throughout the day. ZMA - a supplement containing zinc, magnesium, and vitamin b6. In addition to improved sleep, can also support healthy testosterone levels. https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/the...upplement.html Examine.com is a great resource.

I typically fall asleep @ midnight every night. However... Like clockwork, I wake up a few hours later, get up take a pass, drink some water, and lay in bed for 45min-hr, fall back asleep (deep sleep) and of course wake up @ 7 since my boys get up for school. But I try and lay back down for an hour or so.
Unlike my wife who can sleep for 10-12hrs daily if she could. I can't even lay down more than 9hrs or my head starts hurting. |

The key to maximizing this is to breath with the diaphragm (belly-breathing) in long, slow breaths, and WITHOUT holding or restricting - picture a sine wave (box technique puts a hold in for inhale/exhale). Often helps to hold one hand on abdomen, one on chest, so you can notice the shift from 'chest breathing' to the diaphragm. There are other relaxation techniques that are also helpful for sleep induction - imagery and progressive muscle relaxation are probably the two other best-known or best validated ones. There is also cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Avoid alcohol if you have sleep problems - it may help you fall asleep, but it will mess up the sleep cycle, and either leave you feeling unrested, or actually having that 'mid-waking' that is commonly noted here. Much of the traditional 'hangover' is actually effects of sleep period disruption. And avoid the quackery over the counter stuff - if there was a Chinese sleeping herb or vitamin pill that worked, somebody would be mainstream marketing it (these do have some effect - it is called placebo - but they also have side effects that aren't real cool, and totally unnecessary). Melatonin helps some, but best to start with a good physical - lots of subtle medical stuff shows early signs in sleep disruption, and much better to deal with these things early. If an NSAID helps you sleep, then you may want to look into other pain management (posture and core work during the day). And ironic that this post resurfaces right when I'm in one of my rare 'normal sleep' periods - usually I'm surfing late night and thinking 'I'll look like a creep if I'm posting at 4am'. |
