There used to be nights when I thought I slept a lot but always woke up tired. On the other hand, there were people who slept for 4-5 hours a night and it seemed to work out well for them.
Little did I know that it happens when your brain refuses to go into the final and deep stage of sleep. It can be due to stress, anxiety or not feeling safe. You have to program your mind in a way that it starts believing that you are safe and things are alright. The best way to do so is by practicing meditation! There are tons available on YouTube. You can also try EFT and positive affirmations.My advice is to not rely on sedatives.
Hello Farah, I am sorry to know that you went through this. Thank you so much for your kind response. I have heard a lot of good things about mediation and definitely going to try this :). Yes sedatives are not the long term solution, I agree with this.
