[Photo/health-and-wellbeing.com]With weekend plans, work stresses, and relationships being kept alive, there is always something preventing us from having a night of sound sleep. Adults are advised by doctors to get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night, but most of us don’t act as if that’s an important rule to abide by. However, sleep is connected to much more than our energy levels. It can reveal secrets to our moods and our health in ways we might not expect.
If you’re having sleep troubles, it’s necessary for the sake of your health to find out the root of them. What’s really behind each of those habits so that you can find a solution and get to sleep soon!
You Wake Up At the Same Time Every Morning, No Matter What Time You Go To Sleep
If you’re constantly waking up earlier than you want to, you’re most likely going to sleep earlier too. You’re throwing off your real-life sleeping needs with this early, unwanted internal alarm. Taking melatonin and restricting artificial lights when you wake up are effective treatments for circadian rhythm disorders.
You Wake Up Tired Every Morning
This so commonly goes undiagnosed because your sleep apnea will disrupt you all night, but not enough to wake you to notice it. Depression is another possible reason for constant tiredness. Depression affects your mood and leaves you lethargic. Talking to a therapist could help you.
You Can’t Sleep Without TV
Watching TV every night can be a sign that your stresses, worries, or thoughts have been taking over. This might be a routine that you think helps you unwind, but it can actually increase stress hormones.Sleeping in a dark quiet room after unwinding with a calming technique will leave you with a sounder sleep.
You Wake Up and Can’t Go Back To Sleep
This can happen if you have abnormalities within your brain chemicals, but it can be easily fixed with prescriptions from your doctor. It’s important to be tested for something like this because it can be linked to heart attack or stroke, along with sleep apnea.
You’re constantly in the Bathroom or Fridge
Sleepwalking can get scary and can mean that your brain might not be able to control its muscles. Some people leave their house and are found in the streets, but if you’re just eating an extra cupcake every night, you needn’t worry too much.
