Affirmations for good sleep. What drink is good to drink before bed to sleep better?

Is it possible to repeat strong affirmations at night? This question arises very often among adherents positive thinking. Many people don't find enough time to repeat affirmations throughout the day. Work, study, caring for children, household chores - contemporaries are completely immersed in these worries, forgetting that they need to regularly practice. Often, people remember effective affirmations only at night, when they are getting ready for bed. In such cases, they are faced with a dilemma about whether to start training while half asleep or whether it is better to postpone it to the next day.

How effective are affirmations for sleep?

Many people consider a half-asleep state to be ineffective for any kind of training. If we are talking about remembering a lesson, song or poem, we can agree with this assumption. However, in the case of positive affirmations, spoken before bedtime, things are completely different. The thing is that at the end of the day the control of human consciousness weakens significantly. In this regard, any information spoken before sleep is consolidated not in the usual conscious memory, but in the subconscious. In case of memorization educational material, this is highly undesirable, since it will be extremely difficult to extract information about what you read from the subconscious without special training. With affirmations everything is much simpler. They do not need to be extracted from the subconscious. Having gained a foothold there, they will turn into installations and will fulfill their main purpose.

The only thing you need to remember when saying effective sleep affirmations is that in such cases, beliefs must be developed with utmost precision. There cannot be a single error in their text. By relaxing yourself before bed, positive affirmations at night are very powerful. All information formulated in them penetrates directly into the subconscious, and if it is formulated incorrectly, the effect may be exactly the opposite of the desired one.

Listen to positive affirmations before bed for a good night's rest

What affirmations to say at night is up to the person himself. These can be attitudes towards health, success, luck, beauty, weight loss - in a word, any beliefs that are necessary to achieve the desired goal. It is worth noting that there are affirmations that can only be repeated at night. If you work with them throughout the day, the effect will not be so noticeable. It's about about affirmations for the coming sleep. They are designed to help overcome insomnia and get rid of nightmares. Positive affirmations for restful sleep you can create it yourself, or use ready-made examples. Here are a few of them:

  • My dreams are joyful and pleasant
  • I fall asleep quickly, easily and calmly
  • My sleep is deep and sound
  • I thank myself and the world for this joyful day. Tomorrow becomes even more beautiful. &1

    It’s great that articles are now published every Sunday! And as always, everything is clear and correct, I’ll add that in addition to all of the above, I also turn off my phone and router at night, so as not to be exposed to harmful radiation, at least at night. I think few people know how harmful this is, but it’s true, I even wanted to write an announcement on the site so that neighbors would turn off their routers at night (or when they weren’t using it, but this is already in the realm of fantasy), but then I decided that they would take me for insane. Talk about the fact that almost every fifth person has cancer does not convince anyone. Ideally, of course, live in your own home, so as not to pester anyone with strange requests. Anyway. Of the points listed in the article, as it turns out, I comply with almost all of them (although, of course, anything can happen on weekends), I just can’t sleep with open window. When I open the window, it always blows through, probably in my northern city this can’t be fixed, but in the warm season it’s a thrill to sleep with the window open. Thank you, Tanya.

    1. Thank you, Julia!
      You are absolutely right about the mobile phone and router. I try to do the same and recommend it to my son (he lives separately). And, by the way, just like you think about the fact that ideally it is advisable to turn off your neighbors’ routers too. 🙂
      I don’t turn off my phone, but put it away from the bed. The strength of the electromagnetic field, as far as I remember, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Therefore, moving the phone away from us, we get a significant drop in field strength. That is, if we compare the voltage at several points (A – at a distance of 1 meter from the phone; B – at a distance of 2 meters from the phone; C – at a distance of 3 meters from the phone), then at point B the field will be 4 times smaller, than at point A, and at point B - 9 times less than at point A.
      I hope I'm not wrong. 🙂

    But what to do if there are conditions for sleep, and enough time is allocated for it, but hour after hour passes in painful anticipation of Morpheus’s embrace?

    1. I think we need to understand the reasons for this condition. And try to eliminate the cause.
      Perhaps the schedule has gone wrong. For example: a person took a deep nap after lunch and by nightfall he simply does not want to sleep. This means you need to prevent yourself from falling asleep during the day.
      Or there are a lot of unresolved problems that a person tries not to see during the day, but at night these problems creep into his head. Here, it seems to me, you need to analyze throughout the day what is wrong in life and change for the better. Then at night you can sleep peacefully with the knowledge that decisions have already been made and the right path has already begun.
      Or a person’s activities before bed are too hectic. Perhaps you need to change your schedule, moving hectic activities to the middle of the day, and do only positive and relaxing things before bed.
      Maybe I should get a cat. Jokes aside: when a cat falls asleep sweetly in bed next to its owner, the owner also begins to nod off.

    Let me add my observations:
    1. The bed should be wide enough 🙂 On a narrow bed, where there is nowhere to “crawl away,” it is quite likely that one sleeper will experience regular convulsive shudders/twitches, which “infect” the other))
    2. You should sleep in the dark. It has been scientifically proven that there is a hormone that is released only in the dark (I don’t remember exactly why it is needed, but the fact is a fact).
    3. There is an opinion that “if you want to sleep, you will fall asleep in any environment” (meaning the presence of interfering factors). In my opinion, this is an indicator of physical or nervous overload. In addition, it often turns out that you sleep anywhere and in any way - for example, without undressing. Such a dream does not bring good rest body.
    4. Woman's ear hears higher vibrations than the male. It happened more than once when I had to get up in the middle of the night and look for my cell phone, which, after being fully charged, began to beep disgustingly until you turned off the recharge. My husband basically didn’t hear this squeak, but it really bothered me.
    5. Pregnant women do not seem to be sick, but the need for sleep increases greatly. I remember my state - already on maternity leave, I was literally ashamed that “I’m sitting at home doing nothing” and at the same time I was ready to sleep for half a day))
    6. When putting a child to sleep, you fall asleep ahead of him))
    7. Interesting fact about what women have in their dreams brain activity decreases much less than in men. Perhaps this is related to the ability or ability of some (modestly speaking about themselves) to “put together puzzles” in their pre-dawn sleep. Something completely new: I dreamed that my boss at work was demonstrating dance movements with her feet (sort of Russian footsteps, as well as ballet steps), and I was repeating after her. I woke up - and here it was, inspiration! – I understood why my ankles hurt so badly during and after running, to the point of limping. When I arrive at the stadium, I start running without warming up. And sure enough, having warmed up that day, I didn’t feel any pain afterwards.
    And in general, dreams are a wide area for discussion... I like to finish watching the dream. They can be exciting, or educational, or relaxing. A dream is a great opportunity to simulate a situation and look into “there”, projected by the subconscious. Sleep is the only place where I can communicate with relatives who are no longer alive (moreover, even in a dream I realize that they are no longer alive).
    At the same time, if you start having completely crazy or scary movie-dreams, it means it’s time to get up and “get some sleep.”
    Towards the middle of the cycle I have erotic dreams))
    Overall, worth watching good night you need to calm down and leave unresolved problems for “the morning is wiser than the evening”)))

    1. Thank you, Nina, for the significant additions!
      Everything is to the point: about dreams, and about interfering factors, and about clothes, and about the fact that women sleep several times more lightly (especially those who raise or have raised children), and about the need to give yourself the attitude “This is what I’m talking about.” I’ll think about it tomorrow,” and about everything else. 🙂
      I support!

    This is all great. Yes, you need to go to bed earlier, yes, you need to get enough sleep, fully preparing yourself for sleep. But it doesn't work! During everyday fuss, time flies breathtakingly quickly. I don’t even go anywhere after work and I don’t have children, but I always have something to do. I can’t go to bed before midnight, although it might just be a habit. I’ll also tell you about one friend. It's not scary, she doesn't read the blog)) So. Every morning, when she comes to work, she “gets some sleep” right at her workplace. Doesn't seem to get enough sleep. When asked why he doesn’t go to bed earlier, he answers, “When will we live then?” He came home from work, went to the sports club, came home, ate, and what, go straight to bed? And she has no children and special concerns, but there is life beyond home and work. I understand her, we need to live fully, but when? In big cities, the road and shopping after work take too much time... and to myself, if I get up early, but sometimes I want to sleep so much in the evening that when I come and have dinner, I immediately fall asleep for an hour and a half))) then I get up and realize how much longer undone, I start rustling around the house. At night))) a terrible practice, I realize something needs to be changed, but sometimes the desire to sleep is stronger than anything else.

    1. Yes, life in big cities is exhausting. You have to spend a lot of time on the road, traffic jams and some kind of tossing. When we lived in Kyiv, I drove two hours in the morning to work and then drove two hours home after work. Total, minus 4 hours out of every day. And in general there was some kind of frantic pace, the pursuit of values ​​​​imposed by someone unknown, chronic fatigue, the desire to control everything.
      Even the doctors diagnosed me with “manager syndrome”.
      To be honest, I’m very glad that now I’ve managed to arrange my life in a new, more natural way. Although even with my current lifestyle I don’t always sleep well. 🙂

What to drink before bed to sleep better is a painful question for those who suffer from insomnia. Doctors do not recommend drinking when going to bed at all: if you are thirsty, it is permissible to drink one hundred to one hundred and fifty milliliters of water, otherwise you will have to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and in the morning you will have to look at your swollen face with bruises under your eyes in the mirror. However, those who cannot fall asleep due to the habit of drinking something do not have to torture themselves: just cook the right drink.

It is not advisable to take sleeping pills. They work well in the first few days, but then they become useless: the body gets used to it, an increase in dosage is required, and this leads to the appearance of side effects. There are practically no medications without side effects.

To fall asleep, you need to be saturated with elements that have a beneficial effect on sleep.

These include:

  • tryptophan;
  • theanine;
  • apigenin;
  • potassium and magnesium;
  • B vitamins.

Tryptophan produces melatonin, which regulates daily biorhythms. Normally, this sleepy hormone is produced with the onset of darkness, but bright artificial light, poor routine and caffeine consumption interfere with its appearance.

Theanine is an amino acid that relieves stress. Excitement and Bad mood- the main allies of insomnia, and theanine actively counteracts them, bringing peace.

Apigenin is a chamomile flavonoid that helps the nervous system cope with irritation, depression and fatigue.

Potassium and magnesium relax muscles. These minerals are good for the heart, the hardest working and restless muscle in the body.

B vitamins calm and calm you if you follow your diet and daily routine, but it is difficult to fall asleep - the reason may lie in their deficiency.

So, what should you drink instead of sleeping pills? Tinctures, cocktails and teas containing specified substances.

People's and official medicine agree on the usefulness of herbs brewed for good sleep.

Most Popular:

Chamomile is one of the the best means in order to sleep at night. It can be a real salvation.

Chamomile tea known since ancient times as an excellent sedative. Drinking drink of these cute flowers sleep deeply and peacefully. It is enough to pour boiling water over one or two teaspoons of dried flowers, let it brew, strain, and then drink to relax and have a good rest. The main thing is that you have at least two hours left before falling asleep, otherwise you will have to get up to go to the toilet.

Lavender is the second thing you can drink after chamomile, and even better if together with it. A teaspoon of lavender extract with the same amount of chamomile inflorescences brewed with boiling water will be given as a gift good mood and serenity. In the morning you definitely won’t need a dream book to decipher nightmares - they simply won’t exist. A spoonful of honey added to the infusion will make your sleep sweeter.

You can also drink lemon balm before bed. Its taste is reminiscent of lemon and mint; a couple of brewed sprigs have been relieving problems with falling asleep since the Middle Ages. Anxiety will go away after just a few sips, especially if you flavor the tincture with honey.

Herbal infusions partially answered the question of whether you can drink something before going to bed. Now let's figure out why you can't drink tea or coffee.

You probably won't fall asleep after a cup of tea, even green, and even more so after coffee. It's all because of caffeine.

Caffeine is only useful in the morning. It invigorates, promotes concentration, improves mood, but in the evening, on the contrary, it is important to relax and calm down. Do you drink black tea or coffee with dinner? Insomnia is guaranteed.

Is it possible to take a sip of alcohol before bed? Highly not recommended. An exception is light wine or beer, but it is important not to exceed one hundred to one hundred and fifty milliliters, otherwise the kidneys will suffer, bladder, nervous system and daily routine.

Much more useful following products:

  • Cherry juice;
  • milk;
  • banana smoothie;
  • coconut water;
  • almond milk;
  • yogurt.

Drink freshly squeezed cherry juice half an hour before going to bed - and your dreams will be vivid and your awakening will be refreshing. Warm milk flavored with honey nutmeg or crushed almonds, will have the best effect on falling asleep thanks to tryptophan. Two or three spoons of yogurt forty-five minutes before going to bed will bring you easy sleep and a pleasant awakening.

Banana smoothies are rich in magnesium and potassium, drink a glass of smoothie an hour before going to bed - and sleep like a baby. A similar effect will be obtained if you drink coconut water: it also contains the same minerals.

So, those who drink chamomile infusions or, better yet, cocktails made from honey and milk, always know how to answer the question of what to drink before bed in order to sleep better. The main thing is to monitor your well-being, avoid allergies and have the right approach to your health and daily routine.
