Insomnia can be the smallest thing you don’t even think about.
According to statistics, up to 30% of people suffer from chronic insomnia, and the number of people taking sleeping pills increases with age and educational level. Have you ever wondered why no matter what you do, you still don’t get enough sleep or wake up in the middle of the night? The reasons are as follows:
Magnesium deficiency
This is an important factor that affects your ability to sleep. If your body lacks this nutrient, you may find it difficult to relax. In addition, low magnesium levels may also cause muscle twitching or restless legs syndrome. This is why supplements are often used to treat colic.
Due to mattress
Sheets made from natural materials are cooler and more breathable. It also absorbs moisture better. In contrast, synthetic bedding absorbs heat, which may be why you sweat at night. So you’ll be tossing and turning all night, possibly irritated by some synthetic fibers.
Do you have thyroid problems?
People with thyroid problems often suffer from sleep apnea. This phenomenon causes frequent awakenings, so you may wake up feeling tired rather than energized. Thyroid dysfunction often causes disturbances in circadian rhythms.
Put plants in the bedroom
Care must be taken when placing plants in the bedroom. Some plants can be toxic to humans. If you have asthma, certain plants can trigger it when you are allergic to them. Also, mold or other bacteria in the soil can be harmful and can worsen your sleep quality.
Turn on the heater while you sleep
At night, our body temperature dropped slightly, signaling that it was time to sleep. However, if you have a fireplace in your bedroom, your body may not realize it’s time to sleep. In addition, fireplaces produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, and large amounts of carbon monoxide can be harmful to our health.
Restless legs syndrome
Restless legs syndrome is due to a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, where the legs are always in a state of wanting to move. Although not dangerous, this syndrome can interfere with sleep and prevent the sufferer from falling asleep, which can tire the body and gradually lead to several health problems.
