Wonderful advice from Forbes, if you’re having problems sleeping, try meditation.
If you’re tossing and turning and having trouble getting a good night’s sleep, you may want to consider meditation, researchers suggest. People with primary insomnia reported that they slept better after trying meditation, according to a new study to be presented June 9 at SLEEP, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, in Seattle. Primary insomnia is described as difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep over a time period of at least one month, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. – from Forbes
Participants of the health education group also received information about health-related topics and how to improve health through nutrition, exercise, weight loss and stress management. Results suggested that patients saw improvements in subjective sleep quality and sleep diary parameters while practicing meditation. Patients who practiced meditation saw improvements in sleep latency, total sleep time, total wake time, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency and sleep quality. – from MSN
