How to Develop Good Sleep Habits
Dr Oz and Dr Mehmet say studies show people who took sleep drugs for six weeks and talked to a therapist about sleep habits saw insomnia diminish – even after they discontinued the drugs. In this study insomniacs did cognitive behavioral therapy – meaning they looked at and changed their thoughts and behaviors about sleep.
Here is what you can do:
Ask yourself what your expectations about sleep are, and make sure they are realistic.
Be objective about the ramifications of insomnia – maybe all your problems aren’t because of lack of sleep.
Court sleep with the right conditions: a cool dark room with no TV or internet. If you can not sleep get up and go into another room until you are sleepy and then go back to bed.
Go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
