Insomnia: Asleep in 5 Minutes?

Are you one of the 30% stuck on the insomnia treadmill? Sleep procrastination keeping you up? One more e-mail? Glued to technology? You watch exciting programs, or even check your e-mail or Facebook before bed. One more story, one more friend. Can’t hurt, right? But an overstimulated brain, with the light and volume variations of technology, works better than coffee to derail those sweet dreams. You have a recipe for sleepless nights.

The secret to getting some “unstuck” rest is with guided meditation. I have come across a simple technique that puts most people to sleep in 5 minutes. #sleep well Here’s how it works:

• An hour before bedtime, begin your routine to wind down. Your mind and body need time to slow down from the day. Break that frenzied state of activity and begin to quiet your thoughts.
• Slide comfortably into bed and begin to relax. As you lie there, focus on feeling the comfort of the bed, the warmth or coolness of the room. Consider the positives of the day.
• Begin with a soothing visual image and move into sleep. The adage of counting sheep works well. And there are updates, serving to move your mind to la la land.

Audio clips not your thing? Here are few other tips to try:

• Play with clearing your mind and relaxing your body by noticing items in your bedroom, taking a deep breath between each thing. For example, be aware of a sharp crease in the sheets, followed by a deep breath. Then notice the soft fluffiness of your pillow, followed by yet another deep breath. Continue until you fall asleep.
• Unplug your modem and turn off your smart phone. Again, too much stimulation (LED light or otherwise) right before bed leads to severe
• Go to sleep at the same time every night, waking up the next day at the same time. If overly tired, try going to bed 30 minutes earlier for a week and see if that makes a difference. Your mind and body are accustomed to habits, and you can create a new one.
