3, insomnia misunderstanding needs to be understood
1, drink to help sleep
Although drinking may help you fall asleep in the short term, it is actually very unwise. I fell asleep when I slept, but it is easy to have difficulty breathing, restless sleep, stomachache and thirst, and my head is heavy when I wake up.
Step 2 read before going to bed
If you forget some novels with tense plots before going to bed, it will only make your brain more excited and dream after falling asleep.
Step 3 take sleeping pills
Insomnia drugs are familiar to everyone, and maybe everyone has taken them. Although sleeping pills can play a little role in insomnia, we can't rely on sleeping pills to control sleep for a long time. Taking too many drugs will have negative effects. If we become dependent on sleeping pills, we will be in a state of insomnia for a long time. Insomnia experts pointed out that sleeping pills should not be eaten indiscriminately. Some people may go into shock after taking it, and in severe cases, their lives will be in danger. Everyone must use it with caution!
