If you have ever slept with someone who snores, you know that even if it is not very bad, it can cause the snorer’s s to loose sleep. Being sleepy all day long can also be life threatening for the person and those around him/her.
So many of us take our restful 8 hours for granted. Do you really get 8 hours? How long does it take you to get to sleep? Many people lay awake for quite a while before entering sleep. And I mean proper sleep. Not just rest. A person’s brain emits different brainwave patterns when they are asleep, so you can’t just say “I go to bed at 11, get up at 7, so I’ve had my 8 hours sleep”. Just resting doesn’t count. We need sleep. We die if we don’t get it. Seriously.
So the question is: what can we do to prepare ourselves for proper restful sleep? How do we calm the mind in preparation for entering the “re-charge” part of our day?
Meditation has helped people relax for centuries. It’s benefits are many and far reaching. Meditation as a way to achieve a better night’s sleep, or sleep meditation is a way to clear the mind of the flotsam and jetsam of our busy days.
Inability to sleep through the night
Waking several times during the night often with the feeling of having to urinate.
High blood pressure
If you have been diagnoses with High blood pressure, this can also be connected to sleep apnea.
Just because you snore does not mean you have sleep apnea. If on the other hand you are having several of the other symptoms listed above. then it is time consider seeking the help of a doctor. Sleep apnea has been linked to many severe health issues including heart problems and high blood pressure. Because of this it is important to not let sleep apnea go untreated.
- Another form is to focus on something external. This method can be good for beginners as it feels like you are doing something. It’s hard for a mind that is so used to continuous thought to grasp the concept of doing “nothing”, so listening to calming music, being guided by a soothing voice, or both can really help. A further technique is the use of binaural sounds as a form of guided meditation. In this technique the practitioner used a selection of sounds to achieve an intense state of relaxation. This method is also great for the beginner. Yet another form can be using a chant or mantra to help focus the mind. This method is often used in Buddhist meditation and is also found in the western world as chants such as those used by Gregorian monks.
There are many more variations, and the details are beyond the scope of this article. The main theme is to achieve a peaceful and relaxed state that can combat the stresses and anxieties that gather in anyone’s life. Sleep meditation is a natural way to achieve a good night’s sleep
