How to fight with your sleep issues

-
It’s 12:28 am in PST and I have been trying to go to sleep from the last half an hour. Unfortunately, I didn't get success. Hence, I have decided to figure out what can be the reason? I never had sleep issues before my pregnancy. Do you think this is the side effect of pregnancy? After pregnancy, I am facing this issue but not every day. From last 3-4 days, I am unable to fall asleep till 2-3 am or if I fall asleep I wake up at 3-4 am and stay up till morning. I just want to get a solution for this because lack of sleep affects my routine work. I am not able to focus and get things done the right way.

How to fight with your sleep issues

Today I have decided to work on this issue and that's why I am writing this post in the middle of the night. I am literally frustrated and I want to sleep to stay fresh and recharge my self.

The reason why you don't Fall to sleep

Before I find a solution I have to find the reason why this issue has occurred. Lately, I don't get much time during the day for my blogging work. Hence, I do most of my work between 10 pm to Midnight. I know I have read at many places that you should not use any gadget before you go to bed. But I don't have any other time slot to work on my blog. These can be one reason for my sleep issue. 

Another thing when I go to bed I feel like my mind is still working. On the back of my mind something is going on but I don't know what? Maybe due to that constant thought process I am unable to sleep.


Can it possible that my mind keeps thinking that I have trouble to fall asleep and this thought has become my anxiety? I am not sure about it but might be this fear is also playing a role. 

Remedies for Sleep Issue

  • When I was a kid my mom use to say keep murmuring god's name and you will fall asleep. I have tried. It didn't work.
  • I don't want to go for medication right now so avoiding it.
  • I have to try stress-relieving exercise, it might help.
  • Get rid of negative thoughts and focus on happy and positive thoughts to relax my mind.
  • One of my friends suggested to start meditation, I think I should give it a try.
  • I have to adjust my routine to reduce screentime and go to bed early. 
  • Reading a book before bed might help as well.

I will try these remedies one by one and see which one works. I will share if I get success to solve my sleep issues. If you have any suggestion which helps me then please write in the comments.

    All points offered in this post have their value. One of the top things to start with is to examine WHY you cannot fall to sleep easily. And such things can range from a lifestyle issue like not going to bed at the regular time, eating/drinking at bed time, going to bed distressed; and extend to a medical issue like anxiety, depression and going through menopause.
    Jotting down the "why's" on a piece of paper could be one of the first steps to learning about yourself and the issues that need to be addressed first.

    I always suffer when trying to get to sleep and find that if I get some decent exercise throughout the day, then it really helps me.

    There could be several reasons why you can't sleep, and you are dealing with a few that you mentioned.

    Perhaps you could stop working on your blog a few minutes earlier and spend that time getting ready for bed -- mediating, unwinding, calming your mind. Ideally it would be longer but I don't know how much time you have to spare. Like your friends say, getting rid of negative thoughts before you go to bed might help!

    I totally understand the struggle. I still fall asleep peacefully, but I do use my phone as white noise.

I have been so busy lately and found it difficult to balance my life with blogging work and household chores. As you know household chores never end. Everyday same routine of cooking, cleaning and do the dishes keeps me busy and don’t get enough time for my blog as well. Since I want to save my time I have decided to start a meal prep on weekends, so I can save my time from cooking dinners from scratch. But what about cleaning? Keep the kitchen clean and hygienic is very important for our health.

Happy new year everyone !!!! Hope you had enjoyed New year's Eve. In Midwest December is freezing month every year. But still people are excited to say bye to old year and welcoming new year with fun and celebration. Last year I was traveling to India so I missed the opportunity to experience how Chicago welcomes new year. So this time we decided to go to the Chicago. I heard lot about Navy Pier fireworks. So I wanted to see it. We went to Devon Ave directly and had yummy South Indian dinner in the Udupi Cafe. After dinner we head to the Navy Pier. There was plenty of traffic in downtown. Navy Pier parking was already full so we parked four blocks away and walk to the Navy Pier. You will see excitement in the crowd. There are bars, restaurants and pubs if you want to go. We preferred to take walk along the side of lake and enjoyed cold breeze.  Fireworks started exactly at midnight. Fireworks with the background of high rise buildings was l...
