I am very particular about sleeping equipment and sleeping position. You should choose a comfortable bed, lying on the right side is better, which helps to relax muscle tissue and avoid heart pressure.

Reminder: Sleeping pills cannot be taken for a long time.
A healthy sleep state should ensure enough sleep time: it usually lasts for 7 to 8 hours, but it doesn't have to be forced, depending on individual differences. Experts remind that in addition to maintaining a good physical and mental state, insomniacs should actively seek and eliminate the causes of insomnia, and use sleep induction appropriately, such as listening to hypnosis tapes, drinking a cup of hot milk, and eating apples, bananas, pears and other fruits appropriately.
Insomnia patients should take sleeping pills under the guidance of doctors, and taking drugs on demand is beneficial to the treatment of insomnia. But the treatment of insomnia can't just rely on drugs, and not everyone must take it for a long time.
Insomnia is caused by many conditions, such as heart disease, spleen-stomach imbalance, fear, depression, lung disease, headache caused by wind, scapulohumeral periarthritis, low back pain and so on.
