Description
Intervention group: Mindfulness: 1- Initiating mind: Remember that every night is a new night. Be open and try something different! What you have done so far probably does not work well. 2- Working on changing the patient's mental perspective Lack of effort: Sleep is a process that can not be forced. But instead of letting it be seen, more effort to sleep longer or better will not work. Awareness of the patient of the importance of accepting existing conditions to make a change. This is counterproductive and contradicts the natural process of daily letting go that allows you to fall asleep. Trying to reduce the anxiety caused by the consequences of insomnia 4. Lack of judgment: You can easily judge that waking state is negative and pessimistic, especially if you do not sleep well for a few nights. However, this negative energy can disrupt the sleep process. A clear relationship with sleep can be a useful relaxation topic. Trying to Make a Better Relationship With Sleep 5. Acceptance: Recognizing and accepting your current situation is the first important step in choosing how to respond. If you can accept that you are not drowsy and will probably not fall asleep soon, why not get out of bed? Many people who have trouble sleeping avoid getting out of bed. Unfortunately, spending too much time waking up in bed can keep you awake. Trying to accept the existing conditions in order to start the change process. 6. Trust: Trust your sleep system and let it work for you! Make sure your mind and body can adjust to losing sleep. Knowing that short naps often make you feel more satisfied with fragmented sleep can help you build confidence in your sleep system. Also, sleep deprivation can cause good sleep as long as it is not accompanied by increased effort to sleep well. Confidence in your current sleep state 7. Patience: Be patient! It is unlikely that both the quality and quantity of your sleep will improve immediately.
