Dear Roopashree,
I have long work days and stuff to do at home too before and after in terms of looking after my house and my family’s needs.
I am so exhausted when the day ends, but I still struggle to fall asleep at night. Sometimes, I don’t get sleep at all.
Can you share some tips so that I can fall asleep faster?
We are a big family so privacy and space are problems.
Thank you.
Overexertion makes our mind hyperactive and when your mind is in a hyper state, no matter how tired you are physically, you will not get good sleep.
Therefore, you should relax your mind for at least an hour, if not two hours, prior to sleeping. Anything that agitates the mind should be avoided.
Don’t do any major planning or thinking or even reading. No screen time either, whether it is watching TV or browsing through your mobile phone.
As for the physical routine, wash your face and feet with warm water. Always change into fresh and comfortable clothing. Practise 5-10 minutes of deep breathing, yog nidra and Om chanting to calm your mind.
Aroma therapy can be of great help. You can choose from a variety of sleep essential oils/balms.
Please choose reliable brands as artificial fragrances can have the opposite effect and make your mind alert.
