Nice Sleep Is Necessary For Healthy Mind
Sleeplessness may not be given the same seriousness as other physical problems
. But it can seriously affect the quality of light. Some common causes, but not well known, include eating sweets, chocolates, high energy foods, overeating, undereating, exercising just before sleeping, depression, hyperanxiety, even certain medications used to treat uro-genital problems, consuming painkillers and the menstrual cycle itself.
While some causes may not be directly dealt with (example, menstrual cycle), others as you may see, are lifestyle ones and may be handled if you begin to appreciate the actual trigger for your bout of insomnia.
The safest aroma oil to use to promote deep sleep (though avoidable in excessive low blood pressure) is lavender. It has sedative and calming properties, is healing and can deal with several emotional problems that trigger sleeplessness, such as anxiety, anger, mood yo-yos, depression.
Other oils are marjoram, neroli, roman chamomile (another safe oil). Remember, however, such oils are best prescribed by a qualified expert who knows your exact insomnia trigger. For children, some oils are contraindicated and others have to be specially prescribed in controlled doses. Such oils may be used as bath oils, sprinkled on pillow, or kerchiefs, or in diffusers, foot massages.
In yoga, trataka before sleep time helps relax a restless mind. Basically, trataka is a premeditative practice which involves gazing with focus at any object, ideally neutral and geometric, like a yantra, a dot or a candle flame.
The candle flame is not recommended for those with epilepsy. Keep the object at eyelevel, and sitting yourself so you can face it, and in a seated meditative posture is a good way to start.
You need to stare at the object till tears flow. Sometimes, interestingly, it may flow in one eye only. Or till you blink. At no point should you strain, but just flow with the practice.
After each time you blink, you must rub your palms firmly, to generate warmth and place either palm on your closed eyelids, to feel the socket of your eyes. Wait till the warmth penetrates and the eyes relax. The duration should be increased only slowly, with daily practice. Those with severe eye problems, however, must avoid such practices. They may, instead try harmonizing and balancing practices like the alternate nostril breathing (anulom vilom), bhramari (humming bee) shortly before sleeping.
Doing yoga nidra, a meditative practice lying in the corpse pose, on your own or with the help of a tape (which is more effective) is a great way to drift off into deep delta mode!
