Most
of the people in India complain of tiredness and laziness. They are often seen
taking medicines or visiting doctors for this. That clearly indicates that
health issues are increasing in people of India. There are many reasons, but, one
of the main causes of getting unhealthy these days is lack of good sleep. Improper
sleep leads them to many diseases and health issues like insomnia and sleep
apnea. Sleeping disorders can also affect the blood pressure and heart beat
rate. There is a need to spread awareness about how to get good sleep.
Causes of not getting a good sleep
There
are so many causes for not getting enough or proper sleep. Most of them are
created by new generation daily habits.
- Ignoring sleep
For a healthy sleep, you need to go to bed on time and
sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours. But this generation is quite ambitious and
hard working. They feel like wasting time in sleeping. Also, the night-partying
culture is on a trend where people remain awake all the night and try to
fulfill the sleep quota in the day time.
- Work Culture
The MNC companies in India operate in the night. So,
the employees have to work in the night at least 8 to 10 hours. Continuous late-night
working could lead to many kinds of sleeping problems.
- Gaming and Movie Addiction
Increasing trend of digital devices such as smart
phones, laptops, gaming consoles, etc. are stopping people from sleeping.
Addictive games like PUBG and Asphalt have the tendency to wake you up for
weeks. The trend of online streaming services like YouTube, Netflix and Amazon
Prime are also addicting people to watch hours and hours of movies and web
series. And there are so many like these.
- Improper diet
Not following a balanced diet, untimely eating and lack
of time for eating can lead you to eat just anything available in the market
without worrying for your health. The mouth-watering taste of junk foods and
packaged material can feed your stomach for some time but can lead to serious
health issues, including the sleep disorders.
- Stress and Anxiety
No matter how much you try to protect yourself, there
are numerous reasons these days that causes stress and anxiety to you. This can
create difficulty in sleeping in form of nightmares, night talking and body
part movements.
- Chronic Pains
There are some body pains that can keep you awake all
night like arthritis, lower back pains, fibromyalgia, headaches etc. You rarely
get a good sleep in these conditions
- Alcohol consumption
Regular drinking and drinking before sleeping can
create difficulty in getting sleep. Improper sleeping posture and many rounds
to the toilet are few examples.
- Excessive caffeine
Adenosine is a chemical which promotes sleep in our
body. Excessive Caffeine starts blocking Adenosine from promoting sleep.
Caffeine is natural stimulators which can keep you awake. Caffeine is not bad
until consumed excessively.
- Smoking
Quit smoking right now even if you don’t have any
sleeping problems, because, if not now then in future, you will definitely face
health issues. Smoking can boost the levels of insomnia and sleep apnea to high
level. Also, you will face respiratory problems always, whether awake or sleep.
How to treat sleep disorder
Well,
the first thing that you can do is to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
This will help in diagnosing the reason behind the sleeping disorder. The
doctor can recommend you medications and exercises to lower the symptoms in a
short duration. Complete treatment takes time and only medicines cannot do
that. If the problem is happening due to body pains and anxiety then you will
have to get complete medical treatment accordingly. If the reasons behind are
others then this could be treated with changing habits and lifestyle. Massage
Therapy is the only kind of treatment that a doctor will recommend in any kind
of sleeping disorder. The reason behind this is the success rate and zero
side-effects of massage therapy. Massage is extremely beneficial for proper
sleep.
So
whatever the situation is and the reason is you can always go for the massage
therapy. But, don’t forget to see a doctor first.
How massage therapy helps in getting a good
sleep?
A
massage therapy helps in providing a good sleep in many ways.
- Since
stress and anxiety can cause an abnormal blood pressure, massage helps to
maintain a normal blood pressure in the body. Also, massage helps in releasing
the happy hormones, called serotonin. Serotonin increases the level of feeling happiness
and relaxation in the body, which leads to good sleep.
- Stress
also causes headaches by decreasing the blood circulation and oxygen the header
area, which prevents us from sleeping. During massage, it promotes blood
circulation and oxygen, which reduces the headache resulting in good sleep.
- For
regular body pain and muscle soreness, massage helps in providing muscle
relaxation and joint flexibility. With no body pain and muscle soreness, you
can sleep with any obstacle. Massage also improves your sleeping posture which
prevents you from waking up during the sleep unnecessarily.
- The
immune system of our body helps to fight from the unhealthy elements in the
body like bacteria, viruses, etc. It helps a body to recover from bad health
and leads it to a good health. Massage can strengthen your immune system which
ultimately is protecting you from diseases. For example, if you have cough or
cold then massage is going to help you recover from it and allow you to take a
good sleep.
Once
you get a good massage, the unnecessary tension and stress will start to vanish.
Massage will help to reduce the difficulty with falling sleep, remove the
discomfort or pain at night, and get rid of muscles soreness.
To
make the massage result more effective you can use essential oils for body
massage. Like olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, sesame oil,
grape seed oil, sweet almond oil and mustard oil. These natural oils have
amazing benefits. When these oils are used during a massage their properties
heal a body both internally and externally.
Some
of the body massage types that are very helpful in improving sleep are
aromatherapy massage, deep tissue massage, hot oil massage, sports massage,
trigger point massage, Swedish massage, etc.
