What duration should be a dream, that the body would rest and you feel cheerful, everyone can count for himself, as these indicators are individual. But in any case, for a middle-aged woman (from 20 to 45), in order to look good and feel rested, you need at least 7 hours of full sleep. And best of all, if the count goes from 22-23 hours. You have to sleep before midnight.
When in the street spring-summer and the sun rises early, the need for sleep is somewhat reduced. We wake up earlier and feel great. If the autumn is winter, the body needs about 1 hour more time to restore strength. Even if you love and have the opportunity to sleep during the day, such a dream still will not replace a full 7-8 hour night's sleep. The body really does rest only at night. At this time, natural human biorhythms are responsible for the regeneration of cells, the removal of toxins from them. And, therefore, only in the morning you can feel cheerful and rested.
Of course, our crazy rhythm of life, leaves a mark on our ability to restore strength. Not every modern woman can easily fall asleep at the right time without problems. Thoughts about work, children, problems do not allow to relax and quietly fall asleep. Therefore in such cases, there are several recommendations how to help yourself to fall asleep.
So, following these simple tips, you can easily fall asleep, your sleep will be calm, and in the morning you will wake up fresh, rested, full of strength and in perfect well-being, which, of course, will affect your appearance for the better.
- Evening walk in the fresh air in any weather and season during half an hour, as well as possible will help to relax the body. If there is no time to walk, then at least make your trek from work home on foot. But watching TV should be minimized, especially just before bedtime.
- Before going to bed, it is good to take a warm bath (not hot), especially with the addition of a few drops of lavender oil or infusion of relaxing herbs (linden, mint, chamomile). If you have trouble falling asleep, you can try to massage the gastrocnemius muscles, water. But rubbed with a towel for the night is not worth it. Leave this procedure in the morning.
- It is useful before the evening water procedures to walk around the apartment barefoot, minutes 15-20, then for a minute to lie down, raise your legs, for example, on a wall, at a big angle.
- Specialists of oriental medicine recommend after a warm bath to do a relaxing foot massage with any oil that is at hand. It is good to add in it a solution of vitamin E, which can be bought at a pharmacy. Massage from the fingertips to the lower leg.
- Good results are also given by head massage. For these purposes, you can buy a wooden comb. Such combing will replace massage, blood circulation in the scalp will improve, and daytime stress will be relieved.
- Crowded or otherwise empty stomach can be your opponent in the fight for sleep. Dinner is needed 2-3 hours before bedtime. So you will not be hungry before going to bed, and the eaten will have time to digest. You can drink tea for the night, preferably herbal or black with milk, but not coffee or cocoa. If there is a slight feeling of hunger, then drink warm milk with honey. It will perfectly satisfy the hunger and will not overload the stomach.
- If you like to walk in the woods, in nature, I advise you to collect various herbs or plants. Then they will help you relax and fall asleep. Such grass can be put in a pouch near the bed. Especially good are dry leaves of lemon balm, mint, thyme, lavender, rose petals.
- Try in a room in which you sleep to isolate all external stimuli that prevent sleep. In addition, go to bed in a well-ventilated room.
- Linen, in which you sleep and bedding, should be comfortable, do not constrain movements, preferably from natural fabrics. Do not wear tight pajamas or shirts. The color of bed linen is also important. Specialists in psychology believe that blue-blue color, or golden-beige, best promotes sleep. In such tones, a bedroom and all the bedroom accessories should be preferred. Bright colors, especially of the red scale, are better not to use, since this color, on the contrary, promotes activity. And necessarily, in the bedroom there must be a muffled, diffused light.
It may seem that all these measures are a waste of time. It is better to take a sleeping pill or tranquilizer, and sleep problems are solved. But, alas, after that the problem can only appear. These drugs are very fast addictive, and it is very, very difficult to get used to. Do you want it?
It is best to use all the same folk remedies. And the best way is to fall asleep in the arms of a beloved man. After all, and do not need to prove that a woman who loves and is loved, much calmer, and sleeps a healthy, deep sleep. That in turn is a guarantee of beauty and eternal youth!
