An effective way to fall asleep faster after waking up in the middle of the night

Somnologist Michael A. Grandner talked about a way to quickly return sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. According to the expert, attempts to fall asleep at any cost, continuing to lie in bed, can give the opposite effect, reports Eating Well.

Grandner explained that at the beginning of the night, the body's natural need for sleep is particularly high, but closer to three hours it gradually decreases. If at this point a person begins to scroll anxious thoughts or picks up a smartphone, the likelihood of prolonged wakefulness increases.

In such a situation, the specialist recommends leaving the bedroom for a short time. It is better to move to another room with dimmed lighting and choose a quiet activity that does not require strong concentration. Return to bed is worth it after a pronounced drowsiness appears again.

According to the somnologist, this technique helps to consolidate the connection between the bed and sleep. If you regularly lie for a long time without sleep and worry about the inability to sleep, the bed may begin to be associated with anxiety and wakefulness, which can aggravate the problem.
