Realizing the usefulness and even the need to comply with the work and rest schedule, a modern person, nevertheless, is able to find many excuses to break it. For example, it is quite possible to train yourself to go to bed at the same time. To do this, it is enough to realize what kind of reasons interfere with this.
Instructions
Step 1
Excuse one: Too much to do. Many people believe that evening is the only time to finally take care of yourself and your favorite things: watch TV, walk on sites on the Internet, do handicrafts, read. As a result, bedtime is delayed by several hours.
Of course, there are emergency situations when it is necessary to complete the work started. But if such behavior turns into a system, becomes the norm, then as a result, the body, regularly not getting enough time to recuperate, begins to "take revenge" with chronic fatigue, depression and low mood background.
As a rule, people who strive to fill the evening time with tasks that seem urgent simply deny themselves the right to relax. If you analyze all the important and necessary things that prevent you from going to bed on time, it turns out that some of them can be postponed, some can be moved, and some can be done easier and faster.
Step 2
Excuse two: natural biorhythms. The division of humanity into "larks" and "owls" has become customary. And people who consider themselves to be "owls" declare that it is simply unrealistic for them to go to bed before 11 pm - at this time they are full of strength, energetic and still ready for creative and labor exploits.
In fact, there are very few totally incorrigible "owls". Human biorhythms are a fairly flexible mechanism capable of adapting to external conditions. And turning from an owl to a lark is not that difficult. True, this will require some conscious effort.
Step 3
Excuse three: increased "concern" with problems. Many people complain that they cannot sleep because they "worry too much" and "think a lot." As soon as they go to bed, in the darkness and silence they are visited by fears and anxieties, from which they managed to somehow be distracted during the day. They endlessly plan important things that await them the next day. As a result, sleep does not come, and the person tosses and turns from side to side at midnight, unable to fall asleep.
Yes, problems need to be addressed. But the constant nightly "scrolling" them in the head, as a rule, does not help to do this. The brain needs to be given time to rest and to process information. Therefore, it is necessary to consciously form in oneself the skill of "turning off" thoughts before going to bed. Various meditations, auto-training, relaxing procedures will help in this.
Step 4
Find something that helps you sleep. If you want to get used to going to bed at the same time, personal rituals can be of great help, which will allow you to escape from daytime worries and "switch to rest mode." Consecutively repeated actions, such as showering, drinking herbal tea in silence, performing beauty treatments, flipping through a magazine or favorite book for a while, will help you tune in to a night's sleep both emotionally and physically. Let these calm and measured actions take only 15 to 20 minutes, they will have the most beneficial effect on the process of falling asleep and on the quality of sleep.
