Living in a digital age is indeed a blessing, as we are endowed with a multitude of sources of learning, advancement, and entertainment that are right at our fingertips. However, these numerous facilities come at a hidden price.

Excessive use of all kinds of electronic devices can cause a lot of stress, including isolation and depression, which can lead to various types of psychiatric problems, such as insomnia, schizophrenia, mania, etc.

The main and most important cause of all kinds of psychiatric problems is the inability of the patient to fall asleep naturally.

WC Fields quotes “The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.” So, to get to the secrets of sleeping naturally, he personally suggests that you exercise discipline in every facet of your lifestyle by conscientiously following the following tips and guidelines:

1. Exercise one hour every day. The exercises can even be in the form of games. Alternatively, you can take a brisk walk early in the morning to breathe in the fresh air. This will invigorate your mind and body. If you can’t get out of the house, you can even run on a treadmill, with some open ventilation, as the next best thing.
2. Practice Yoga for an hour or half a day. Yoga is a great form of exercise that tunes you into a state of pure awareness, maximum creativity, and happiness. The process of doing yoga is in itself a wonderful process. It not only regulates and focuses one’s breathing pattern, but relieves stress through stretching, movement of muscles, organs, and even induces deep relaxation. Deep relaxation through deep breathing generates alpha waves that induce natural sleep.
3. Nourish your body with healthy foods and drink plenty of water. Drink at least 5 liters of water. Drink more water the first half of the day and less the rest of the day. As our brain is made up of 78% water content, drinking plenty of water should become a habit. Eat plenty of fruits and healthy foods every two hours in a moderate amount that will hydrate and nourish your body as suggested by Rujuta Diwekar in Don’t Lose Your Mind But Lose Your Weight.
4. Do not use your computer for at least 3 hours before sleeping as it disturbs your sleeping pattern. Don’t talk on the phone or use any electronic devices before bed. Say a big no to technology three hours before bed.
5. Avoid tea or coffee as much as possible or drink them well before sunset. If you really need to drink tea or coffee, opt to only do it once a day.
6. Improve the quality of your life by joining your friends and family as often as you can. This alone can do miracles to cure your insomnia. The more you socialize, the better you’ll feel, and socializing alone can cure you of tossing and turning every night. So one of the main cures for insomnia is to socialize a lot.
7. Be an optimistic person and say goodbye to your bad memories and hurt feelings. Read the book The Power of Now by Echart Tolle, where Echart clearly states that both the past and the future are just an illusion and that true power lies in being and living in the present.
8. Have a huge, beautiful vision clearly imprinted in your mind and move slowly, one step at a time. Just remember what Rabindrath Tagore says, ‘The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step’.
9. It instills and creates great habits in your life by replacing the bad ones, which is why I urge you to read The Power Habit by Charles Duhigg. This one book could only help you discipline your life.
10. Connect with nature. He loves plants and animals very much. Spend more time watering the garden and planting flower seeds or vegetable seeds. Then watch those seeds grow into a fruitful plant and bloom into flowers. This can revive your lost spirit and bring you back into focus in your life. Even if you are in an apartment, try to have plants on your balcony and see how they grow every day. In case you are an animal lover, have pets like cats, dogs, rabbits, etc. or have a nice aquarium at home. Their spirits will also invigorate yours greatly and they will forget your worries and stress forever.

As every problem has a solution, insomnia can also be cured naturally if you instill the power habits through focus and discipline that will systematically change your lifestyle and help you live a great healthy life by sleeping naturally. .
