Why can't I sleep at night?

For me, cannot sleep at night due to financial stress. In my situation it seems like it is a constant battle of turning throughout the night, and over thinking everything. what seems to be helpful in my situation is meditation. every night before bed, I meditate. I have been doing this in the last week and it seems to be working. I turn on relaxing music, relax my mind, and just free my mind of thoughts. Once, I have freed my mind every issue is forgotten. Although, i have to do this every night, it is something that is working for me. Maybe it will help you?

As someone who has dealt with insomnia for a long time, I can talk from my own experience. An important factor that made me unable to sleep was that I always went to bed while still feeling a lot of tension. Including working out to get physically exhausted during the day can be a good way to release all this tension and sleep easier at night! However, it's always a bad idea to do it right before bed. The ideal choice is too do it a few hours before. Also, downloading a blue light filter app for my phone, so I turn it on during the night time hours, helped me fall asleep more easily. The blue light on the screen of electronic devices makes one more awake, due to it's connection with the blue colour of the sky. Lastly, consuming herbs, such as levander, can help someone relax before bed and sleep peacefully.

There can be many reasons, which can make it hard to find the issue. One of the reasons can be overworked brain - first, maybe you are so stressed, that your brain can't "turn off" and calm down. Then it might be helpful to try to lift some of the stress. There are different possibilities - you can try to meditate before going to sleep, to read, or to listen to some calming music. You could also try to write your sorrows down, so that you don't have to think about them constantly. There can also be "physical" issues. Maybe you slept too much during the day and the body doesn't feel tired. Maybe you ate recently and your body needs time to process the food (it's suggested to stop eating about two hours before going to bed). It might be your brain - maybe you watched your TV/computer/phone and the blue light keeps your brain "awake" (so like with the food, ideally stop looking at screens two hours before going to bed). Lastly, maybe you had too much sugar or caffeine (the half-time of caffeine is 6-8 hours, so you should stop drinking coffee around 2 pm). There are many possibilities why you can't sleep, but also many solutions :)

Constantly being on your phone at night will keep you up. Blue light radiating from your electronic devices will prevent you from feeling sleepy. Before you go to bed, try to limit yourself from looking at your devices for at least an hour prior. Try to read a book. Practice meditation and deep breathing to calm your mind down after a long day. By doing so, it will help you fall asleep faster. Moreover, some people like to read a book at night or listen to soft music before they sleep as a way to calm the mind. I hope this helps :)

There are several reasons a person might find it difficult to sleep at night. It could be physiological reasons (ill-health, flu, side-effects of medications, breathing problems etc), psychological reasons (stress, anxiety, insomnia, mania, depression and other mental health difficulties) or spiritual reasons (sin, consequences of sin, relationship with God), relational problems (relationship stress/strain, hurt, abuse etc) or simply could be sleep disorders like apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, jet lag etc. Regardless, if you're having difficulty sleeping at night, I'd suggest you go and get examined by your GP/family doctor who'll likely examine you and find out the real reason you can't sleep at night. In any case, I do hope you manage to get a good night's sleep.

There are many reasons why you can't sleep at night. Often it is because the thoughts are too loud, even the suppressed ones, and therefore the mind can not find peace. Try to face these thoughts instead of suppressing them. Instead of watching TV or reading the news before going to bed, try to concentrate on yourself. Often we do all these things (TV, cell phone, ...) because they distract us, distract us from ourselves. So we can live our lives easier during the day but at night it all catches up with us and we start thinking about things much too late. Try to imagine a quiet place in your mind, a place where you exist as a soul. A place where you feel comfortable as yourself. But don't think about everything at the same time, don't let your thoughts overwhelm you. Just try to really notice what you are thinking. Whether it is important or not does not matter. Also try to focus on the things that have made you happy, because often we don't take the time to appreciate them and then just come to rest slowly.

I used to have trouble sleeping at night. I learned that the key to better sleep was a better diet and more exercise. Also, drinking a sufficient amount of water everyday made a huge impact on my falling asleep quicker and sleeping better at night. By adding more vegetables and fruits to my diet I saw changes in my sleep as well. I also did away with complex carbs and I choose only carbs from vegetables and fruits now. I immediately began to see a change in my body and my sleep. With adding exercise, it helped me to be more tired at night to sleep more soundly as well.

There could be multiple reasons a person can't sleep. Psychologically your mind isn't in a calm state. At night most people start to think about the mistakes they have done, and wishing how could they do better. But does it helps you to sleep better? Certainly not. It will just make you stress and gives you anxiety. Or you have any trauma which doesn't make you feel safe with the environment, in that case, a change of place where do you feel safe would help. If you tend to overthink, that's another thing, it's hard to control your thoughts, but it's not impossible, instead of letting it run for different thoughts, focus on one and choose that is something that makes you happy, it will calm your mind and let you fall asleep soon.

From my personal experience there can be few things. It could be something purely physical like having a heavy meal before sleeping or having slept during the day. Also lack of physical activity could be a major reason. People who have high screen time on mobile phones and laptops suffer from sleep depravation. Are you shutting down your screen(laptop/mobile) before 30mins of going to bed ? If you have any chronic issues like high blood pressure or sugar , you might have issues sleeping. You can check that with your physicist. Are you thinking about calming and relaxing thoughts before sleeping ? Another reason could be ,having a worked up body, going to bed without freshening up or going to bed all sweaty and in uncomfortable clothes. Please check if you are doing any of these and take corrective action.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble sleeping! many things can contribute to this. you may be experiencing anxiety from the day that is keeping you awake. Feeling anxious will keep your body awake if it can’t get rid of the feeling or if you are anxious about specific things. depression is also a factor to consider. depression can leave your mind wondering making it hard to fall asleep at night. if you have any stress from the previous day it could also contribute to your lack of sleep. i am so sorry to hear that you are having trouble sleeping! i will be here to chat any time!
