Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

I, together with numerous associates my age, can have hassle 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 rise up to pee a number of instances per night time, which is frequent amongst older of us. This could result in issues getting again to sleep, particularly when you’ve got a “busy mind” that you just don’t know how one can flip off.

I obtained recommendation on how one can repair this from an expensive pal years in the past that has labored effectively for me, and I attempt to go it on to associates who’ve this downside. It helps if you know the way to meditate. You don’t must be superb at it, you could be 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 desires 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 pal, who was additionally a meditator, is available in. In the course of the night time, she mentioned to suppose to your self, “nice, that is the proper time to meditate, as a result of I received’t worry 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.
