Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

I, together with loads of associates my age, can have bother sleeping at night time, particularly when waking up in the midst of the night time. This may be made worse by “nocturia” or having to stand up to pee a number of occasions per night time, which is widespread amongst older people. This could result in issues getting again to sleep, particularly in case you have a “busy mind” that you just don’t know methods to flip off.

I received recommendation on methods to repair this from a pricey buddy years in the past that has labored nicely for me, and I attempt to move it on to associates who’ve this downside. It helps if you know the way to meditate. You don’t should be superb at it, you is usually a newbie (I gave newbie recommendation on meditation right here). Most individuals with “busy brains” discover their thoughts doesn’t need to cooperate meditating, it needs to be flitting round from thought to thought (or fear to fret). One other downside when meditating is falling asleep. Right here’s the place the recommendation from my buddy, who was additionally a meditator, is available in. In the midst of the night time, she stated to assume to your self, “nice, that is the right time to meditate, as a result of I received’t be anxious by falling asleep”. Your thoughts, which doesn’t need to meditate, will see falling asleep because the lesser of two evils. Works like a champ for me.
