Things To Do To Cure Sleeping Difficulty
Here are the things you should do, apart from the Sunnahs and duas we’ve mentioned, to ease your sleeping problems.
- If you want peaceful sleep, you need to start your day early. It might be difficult on the first day because you’ll need to start a new sleep cycle. But go through it and sleep early that night. Then wake up early again to fix your sleep cycle.
- Do not sleep more than 7 hours in 24 hours.
- Do not use your smartphone at least 2 hours before sleep. Remember, screen exposure robs your mind of sleep and peace.
- Adopt a physically active lifestyle so that you’re tired by the time you reach your bed.
- Do not watch the news or indulge in any activity that disturbs your peace of mind before sleep.
- Consult a specialist sleep therapist.
