1. An overabundance of emotions.
Usually, when sleep does not come, obsessive pictures of yesterday pass by you. They stand before their eyes, their bright images deprive you of sleep. Maybe it's a pretty taxi driver who drove you from the supermarket to the house, or maybe it's a scene where you ended up in a shameful situation, where you just lied to the question of your being late, saying that you forgot to set the alarm. Someone has pictures of the future. Excitement about the delivery of tomorrow's report or the upcoming quarrel with a loved one. In general, these negative and positive emotions force your brain to work violently in the daytime mode, and do not allow it to slow down.
2. An overabundance of information.
Whether you spent the whole day at the TV, or talked with a bunch of people at work, or you are a student and passed the exam at the institute - it does not matter. You got a certain amount of information. At night, information is processed, some events are completely ejected from memory, some are sent to the hidden corners of the brain, some events are spent for revision. If you get more information during the day than your brain can handle, then you can not fall asleep. The daily rate is exceeded.
3. Information void.
Here the situation is the opposite of the previous one. On the contrary, the brain has nothing to process, and therefore, to sleep to anything. This type of disorder usually affects lovers of vacations.
4. Activity in a furious mode.
For example, at work you have to pass a report, for some time, but you do not have time for some reasons. Not enough time is catastrophic. Everything, this time the brain will necessarily borrow at night sleep.
5. Forced refusal to sleep.
For example, you barely sit out working hours, fall asleep at the computer, but you clearly know that you still need to get home, feed your child and husband, wash, pat, and wash the dishes. In general, you begin to fight with sleep. And, finally, sitting in a soft bed and resting your head on your pillow, you win in this fight - there is no sleep.
6. Light and noise interfere.
7. Anxious environment.
Let's say you spent the night with a friend. You drank tea, sweetly discussed all the men, you took a warm bath, and here you are in bed. But I'm not dreaming again. And all because the reasons 1 and 2 come into force. This is the treatment of the situation of a new place and emotions in excess of the limit.
There are methods to combat insomnia:
1. Once the causes of insomnia have appeared in your head, then with your head and you need to understand. For example, sheep counting does not help anybody. There is another way - to dream. For a girl who thinks in images, this is not difficult. Imagine yourself in a heavenly place, on a cloud hovering in the sky. Or you have turned into a bird, with large wings, dissecting clouds.
2. Read your favorite poems by heart or sing your favorite song. The monotony of the words spoken to oneself will cause the mind to calm down, and the brain to slow down and fall asleep.
3. Complete silence inside.
We must try to force ourselves not to think about anything. Turning off consciousness will help focus on some kind of action of your body. For example, concentrate on inspiration and exhalations. Count how many times you inhaled and exhaled. If you hold on like this for about 10-15 minutes, then there are all chances to fall asleep. Some people specially attend trainings on "thoughtlessness". But it's not so easy, to force yourself not to think about anything. The human brain is tuned to constant thought. But these methods will be enough to fall asleep if your insomnia does not have pathological forms.
