Types of Sleep Problems

There are a number of different sleep problems which can all affect the quality and quantity of sleep we get. The result is that they can also have a negative effect on our energy levels and our mental health. The following sleep problems are listed on the Mental Health Ireland Factsheet on Sleep where you can find more information (http://www.mentalhealthireland.ie/a-t....

1. Insomnia. This affects an estimated 20% of people and is the most common sleep disorder. This is the one we will be focusing on in this video.

2. Narcolepsy. This is excessive sleepiness.

3. Sleep apnoea. The person may stop breathing at intervals in the night which then wakes them so their sleep is constantly being interrupted.

4. Sleep Disorders in Children. This can be distressing and exhausting for both children and parents. Sleep problems can impact the physical and emotional health of a child so are important to address them as early as possible.

The Solution - Qigong For Insomnia

In order to be able to sleep soundly we need to have a calm mind. Often we find that our minds are too busy when we go to bed. This over-excitement in the brain can prevent us from getting off to sleep quickly and easily.

There are many practical steps you can take to ensure that your mind is calm before bed, e.g. taking regular exercise, establishing a regular time for going to bed, turning off screens at least an hour before bed, taking a bath, avoiding coffee and alcohol a few hours before going to bed.

Qigong is also the perfect practice to help you improve the quality of your sleep because every Qigong method helps to calm your mind, the essential ingredient for good sleep.

Below are a few specific Qigong tips which will help you.

1. Practice Abdominal Breathing as you are lying in bed at night. Refer to my previous video called " How to Do Qigong Abdominal Breathing or Diaphragmatic Breathing" (https://spacetorelax.com/how-to-do-qi....
