Insomnia

I cant stop thinking about my work at the office. The stress is too much and even worse, when you have to hold on to your nerve though the temperature has reached its boiling degree and the volcano is erupting its reddish evil larva. Having been patience more than I should and if I snap or being harsh to any of my colleagues due to work ethic. It is just temporary and for the sake of the company's future and reputation. My reputation is at stake due to work inefficiency of my team member. I ended up doing my colleague work which I have requested more than a week. As the consequences, I pay less attention on my work and it has jeopardized my reputation and position as the top management when unexpected matter rose. I feel like to smack her down for being so slow and silly.

Since that moment, I can hardly sleep at night. I will stay awake till dawn has come and knocked down the darkness and fill in the sky with colours of the light.

I really wish to have a break but I need to rush and hustle the process of updating the information into the system which is desperately need to be done as soon as possible before it is too late for me to reconcile or amend any mistake done by human like me. I'm going insane when I get pressure from my directors and it is mad to think when I have to listen to three different minds and thoughts. High expectation and hope from them lead me to disaster when thing has gone wrong.

I dug out some tips to better sleep and it might help

1) What to Eat: A good diet and regular exercise are key ingredients to having a well balanced, healthy life. You have to find the best diet and exercise regimine for your body and you do this by actively trying new things.

Having a well balanced diet will ensure that you are getting all the proper vitamins, fiber and protein that it takes to keep you active when you’re awake and asleep when it’s time to go to bed.

2) When to Eat: There are different idea’s out there about eating before sleep. Personally, I can’t have a full stomach and sleep the whole night through. Going to bed on an full stomach sometimes makes it easier to fall to sleep because you are so relaxed and full, but you won’t stay asleep for long as your body begins to digest all that food.

Try not to eat anything big at least 2 hours before bed. I do not snack before bed either but some people do and sleep just fine. Experiment with it and find out what works the best for your sleep and your stomach.

3) Working Out: When it comes to insomnia you want to make sure you don’t have a hard work out anywhere near your bedtime, give yourself a good 3 hours of exercise-free time before bed. Like always, your body needs exercise to stay fit, circulate blood and sweat out toxins.

4) Take a Bath: Taking a hot bath can be really calming. The soothing warmth of the water and the relaxation of being alone and at peace with yourself should take away stress and anxiety. Try to take a bath right before going to bed. The temperature change of hot to cold and warming up under the covers can be a great sleep aid. Try to add some fragrants like lavendar which helps you to calm down naturally.

5) Have a nighttime routine: This could include your hot bath and maybe meditation time. If you have never meditated before; try it. Sit in a comfortable space (not your bed, the bed should be used just for sleeping) and concentrate on relaxing all your muscles and focus on your breath.

Nighttime routine activities can include:

Reading
Listening to music that makes you sleepy
Play a game of solitaire
Write in a journal (writing down your to-do list for the next day is especially beneficial then those items won’t spin around in your head keeping you up)
Do something you like: playing piano, guitar, sewing, knitting, painting. The act of fulfilling yourself in your day can be extremely rewarding and help you feel a sense of accomplishment before setting off to sleep.
