Insomnia is a rather serious problem for modern people, as it radically affects productivity.

There are habits that, from a psychological point of view, can only make the situation worse.

For example, you shouldn’t look at the clock after waking up – try to fall asleep again and clear your head of thoughts.

Looking at the clock may cause anxiety about getting up soon, which will increase your insomnia symptoms.

What else do doctors recommend?

Once again, doctors advise sticking to a routine – going to bed at the same time, regardless of the day of the week.

Doctors note that in this case a reflex will be developed. Even if you stayed up late, you still need to get up at the same time and not sleep during the day or get some sleep in the morning.

If you sleep during the day, then such a person will continue to suffer from insomnia. It is better not to just lie around during the day if you have not slept enough, since this is a reflex to sleep.
