You can improve your condition with the help of breathing practices.

This statement was made by psychotherapist Irina Krashkina, RIA Novosti reports.

The specialist explained that you need to count to 4 in your head and then exhale, then to 2 and hold your breath, and then to 6 and exhale. This will help you relax.

In addition, the doctor recommended playing sports.

In this case, it is easier to stop dwelling on something scary or disturbing. Also, during training, the level of adrenaline decreases, and the muscles relax.

It wouldn't hurt to take a break from gadgets.

It is enough to put your smartphone or laptop away an hour before bed, and there is no need to immediately check your gadgets after waking up.

But these are not all the recommendations.

As Krashkina noted, it is useful to keep a diary in which emotions, thoughts and worries are recorded. This makes it easier to identify the cause of the problem.
