To overcome your insomnia, start with small changes in your lifestyle. Do you know such as nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol affect the quality of your sleep?

Caffeine

Caffeine increases the rate of heart beat and blood pressure. Certainly you will feel a little stronger and energized. But it will also affect your sleep pattern. Caffeine will keep you awake longer than necessary this, your body will have a harder time to rest or sleep and you wake up more frequently during the night. As for alcohol, the effect of caffeine on sleep varies from one person to another. To beat insomnia, first avoid taking 4 to 5 hours before going to sleep.

Nicotine

Nicotine is also a blow to your sleep. If you smoke, do not expect to have quality sleep. Nicotine changes the whole balance of your body. You will wake up often at night, coughing and your nights will be very short. I take the example of a relative who kept coughing all night, his sleep was restless and very short. He decided to quit smoking to overcome insomnia, sleep is then returned to normal since he had more acute cough at night.

Alcohol

Alcohol can certainly relax your body for a short time. But it certainly helps you not to have quality sleep. Alcohol contributes to the decrease in deep sleep phase, where it was recovered. Your sleep will be artificial and not recovery, you will feel that you have not slept all night. Alcohol dehydrates the body also. And a dehydrated body is equivalent to a restless sleep.
