What happens many a time is that the lockout happens too often and based on your work environment, you might want to change this. It’s a security feature that every Windows user should be using. If you have set up a Password or Pin or any other form of lock, you will be asked to re-authenticate yourself. Exercise at night and you will not sleep.Windows PCs have a Lockout feature which makes sure that your PC is locked or goes to Sleep when left unattended. While this could hold true for daytime exercise, doing even moderate exercise in the nighttime is akin to drinking a big cup of coffee. Just don’t make too much noise.Įxercise: There’s a common misconception that you can tire yourself out by exercising. Low Impact Chores: When was the last time you mopped the floor or picked up clutter around your home? As long as you do these at a relaxed pace and don’t work up a sweat, you may find yourself ready to fall asleep in no time. And remember, don’t do it on a backlit electronic device! If you’re interested in politics or baseball, don’t read about either subject. Don’t read the latest page turner by Dan Brown.
Read Something Thrilling (or at Least Semi Interesting): Remember that chapter in Game of Thrones where everybody dies? Whatever you do, do NOT read that when you cannot sleep. Now is finally the time to learn about the intricacies of legislative process or attempt James Joyce’s Ulysses… or crack open that mildly amusing collection of short stories you’ve been meaning to read. Read Something Boring: Maybe you have a book or magazine you’ve been meaning to read, but instantly lose interest the moment you read half a page. Late-night screen time is one of the most common sleep hygiene violations. Computers, smartphones, televisions and tablets emit blue light, which can reset your circadian clock and make your body think that it is time to be awake. Quality screen time: Netflix, Hulu and a boatload of apps may entertain you but won’t help you fall asleep. Whenever you find yourself ready to nod off, stop what you’re doing and go to bed. Indulge in a low impact hobby: Do you play a musical instrument, knit or like to draw? All of these activities can be low impact and perfect for when you cannot sleep. But you can’t do anything that’s stimulating or in violation of the basic rules of sleep hygiene.
The worst thing you can do when you can’t fall asleep is lie in bed and attempt to force yourself to sleep. One of the first things sleep physicians tell insomnia patients is to get out of bed if you can’t sleep.
