“Hidden” causes of insomnia became known

One in three suffers from insomnia. Waking up in the middle of the night, a person cannot fall asleep. Lack of sleep often causes fatigue, irritability and loss of attention. The more nights spent without a normal eight-hour sleep, the worse a person's physical and mental health becomes. Experts have explained what can cause insomnia.

Consuming too much sugar on a regular basis can cause you to naturally wake up in the middle of the night. This is how the body “signals” that the blood sugar level has decreased.

Also, experts advise paying attention to mental health: constant stress or depression can affect the quality of sleep. It is suggested to make a list of things for tomorrow before going to bed: this also has a calming effect.

It is recommended to lead an active lifestyle: walk 10 km per day, do sports at least 150 minutes a week. This will help the body to fall asleep better, experts believe. In addition, you should not use gadgets at least half an hour before going to bed – this way the brain will have time to “relax” and prepare for sleep.

In addition, sometimes it is worth just changing the mattress or even the bed. Experts recommend changing your mattress every seven years. Some couples prefer to sleep in the same bed, but the size of the bed does not allow them to lie comfortably, in this case it is recommended to think about buying a new piece of furniture of a larger size. It is noted that despite the high prices, this decision may turn out to be really worthwhile.
