However, there are also people who find enough sleep at night and are still properly ridden the next day. Why is that and what can you do about it??

Good reasons for more sleep
Lack of sleep endangers the health. As scientific studies have shown: Who sleeps too little, colds much more often. In addition, in people who sleep too little, the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and heart attack, obesity or diabetes increases.

If you are tired despite a long sleep
According to health experts, adults between the ages of 18 and 64 should sleep seven to nine hours. But in some people, fatigue may not pass despite a long night's sleep.

This may be due to too much stress. It not only ensures that you can not fall asleep at first, but it often works even if we are already asleep.

Get your thoughts on the right track
Experts therefore advise you to put your thoughts on the right track before you fall asleep. Prof. Kneginja Richter, Head of the Sleep Counseling Unit of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Nuremberg Clinic recommends a visualization technique.

In a message on the Microsoft web portal "MSN" she said: "Imagine a picture that you associate with positive emotions, such as: B. as you lie on the beach. Memorize every detail until you go away. "

It also makes sense to write the worries right before going to bed in short sentences of the soul. Also, endurance sports is recommended because it reduces the stress hormones. However, the training must be completed at least two hours before falling asleep, otherwise you will not be able to calm down.

In addition, lavender oil or other herbal home remedies can help with insomnia. Valerian also helps with sleep problems. (Ad)
