Getting Some Sleep

In this episode, we will take a look at how people who have insomnia can use meditation to achieve sleep. You may be surprised to be one of the lucky people who get a great deal of sleep as compared to others. Approximately 25% of Americans have insomnia, but according to the most recent research, only about 75% of them recover without feeling the effects of inadequate sleep patterns or chronic insomnia. Worldwide studies indicate that one in every five people has insomnia as well.

Insomnia is easily the world’s most common sleeping disorder. Insomnia is the inability to stay or fall asleep even when presented with the opportunity to do so. Victims are prone to experience fatigue, concentration difficulties, decreased output, and mood swings.

The type of insomnia one has is distinguishable from the duration it lasts. Acute insomnia occurs for a short period, such as when it is caused by everyday circumstances of life. For example, when you are about to go for a big trip, and you are full of excitement, you might have some difficulty sleeping. The same goes for other significant situations that crop up with everyday life. Eventually, this sleep disruption meets exhaustion and resolves itself without treatment.

On the other hand, chronic insomnia is a sleep disruption that occurs three nights every week for up to a three-month duration. Respiratory conditions such as sleep apnea and asthma, pain, anxiety, depression, menopause, urinary incontinence, and acid reflux are some of the underlying causes of chronic insomnia. Some medications and lifestyle patterns may also step in the way of your sleep, driving you to chronic insomnia. Insomniacs do rest, but the quality of the sleep they get is so low.

In-store for you in this episode are different meditation practices that can help you achieve your desired sleep cycle.

Types of Meditations to Practice for Insomnia

Are you tired of staring at the ceiling or watching your watch clock by as you wait to sleep? Insomnia is one of the most annoying uninvited guests. It may develop the habit of overstaying, leaving you to be its prisoner for an unspecified period. However, if you are tired of gazing at the ceiling every night and want to do something about it, here are a couple of meditation techniques that prove to beat insomnia:

Talking to Oneself

Holding a conversation with yourself is probably one of the most underrated methods one can use to fall asleep. Most people associate talking to themselves to being given names like ‘crazy’ or ‘geek,’ but this simple practice can change your sleep patterns for the better.

Insomniacs are good at hurling negative things their way. Some get to the point of harming themselves because they are so angry with themselves for not being able to sleep. Paradoxically, insomnia tends to feed on the criticism one gives to self. Not everyone gets to the point of inflicting physical harm to himself or herself. Sometimes, the brain fills with negative chatter and questions that only harm sleep progress.

Offer yourself calming words of appreciation and understanding during this time as you talk to yourself.
