When you turn off the lights and lay down in your bed at night, do you find your mind buzzing with thoughts of the day, and plans for tomorrow? If you struggle with “turning your brain off”, you may find yourself feeling restless and unable to sleep. Fortunately, meditation is one way to quiet your thoughts and fight insomnia. No more sleepless nights!
Meditation has been shown to help people who struggle with insomnia and other sleep disturbances. But many don’t know how to meditate before bed, or aren’t aware of the different techniques and methods they can use.
To help you on your path to restfulness, I would like to share some insights on how to use meditation to improve sleep quality and fight insomnia.
How does meditation help you sleep?
Meditation has been used by a variety of cultures throughout history to achieve a sense of inner calmness and clarity. Research shows that meditation it’s an effective tool for people who struggle to fall asleep at night.
By relaxing your body and brain, it’s easier to quiet the distracting thoughts that keep your mind buzzing.
Studies have found that meditation can help reduce cortisol, which is the hormone associated with stress. Meditation increases the natural melatonin levels to help with more restful sleep. Furthermore, meditation is shown to have benefits on patients with mental health disorders who may experience insomnia as a symptom. By using meditation to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression, some patients have an easier time falling and staying asleep.
“It’s important to note that meditation is not a cure for underlying conditions that may affect sleep quality or the ability to fall asleep. If your sleeping is not helped by meditation, feel free to schedule an appointment and discuss about alternative options for your stress relief and insomnia.”
