Hey there guys! It's #SundaySiesta and we'll be discussing Insomnia among young adults and five effective ways in dealing with it.
So, insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep at night; and it's now a very common problem among young adults today including myself 😑. This is something that affects our health, energy and mood.
Insomnia is caused by poor sleeping habits, depression, anxiety, lack of exercise, and sometimes medication. You see that 'poor sleeping habits', it's either when we just want to play that video game throughout the night 😁 or we can't stop watching that Korean series 😋 or when the memes we see on Facebook, twitter and Instagram won't just let us go to sleep! 😌
I know we just want to text that special friend 😇 or see that video on YouTube you have been longing to watch but have we ever cared about how sleep deficit affects us? 😐. Most young adults with insomnia find it difficult to
concentrate, study, or work effectively 😔.
Although, it isn't really our fault as at this stage of our lives, the brain hormone melatonin is produced later at night in adolescents and young adults than it is for others and that's why we have harder time falling asleep.
Well, we're about to change that now! don't forget that HEALTH is WEALTH
1. First, put in mind that we need about 9 hours of sleep at night and try waking at the same time each day.
2. Exercise regularly.
3. Try not to engage in any other activities on bed asides from sleeping. Most of us are fond of studying, operating mobiles, watching television etc on the bed; Guess we'll have to readjust a bit.
4. Avoid eating right before going to bed and make your sleeping area comfortable.
5. Make sure you follow those guidelines 😊😵
