Help for Sleep Problems at Body Wave Chiropractic
Like the air or food we breathe, sleep is a fundamental need; it’s a basic nutrient the body needs to be healthy. If you struggle to get sufficient shut-eye, it’s important to first look at the health of your nervous system.
Understanding Sleep Disruption
Many factors can disrupt sleep, but one of the most significant is having a nervous system stuck in stress mode. This continuous stress response is like keeping your foot pressed firmly on the gas pedal, preventing your body from shutting down for a restful night. The effects? You wake up tired, possibly relying on copious amounts of caffeine or sugar to get you through the day. But that’s like living on credit; you definitely don’t want to make it a way of life.
The Role of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments, particularly NetworkSpinal, can help promote better sleep. How? This technique uses gentle touches along the spine to train your brain and nerves to relax more deeply. “By releasing nerve system stress and fight/flight from the body, the brain can finally drop the hypervigilance and fully shut down. Waking up with energy and clarity from a deep, restorative sleep is the best feeling,” said Dr. Laura.
Practical Tips for Better Sleep
In addition to chiropractic care, implementing simple lifestyle changes can dramatically enhance your sleep quality:
- Expose yourself to sunlight early in the day: This helps regulate your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
- Reduce mental stimulation before bedtime: Engage in calming activities, such as reading or meditation, to prepare your mind for sleep.
- Optimize your sleep environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
- Maintain a consistent sleep schedule: Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day trains your body to anticipate sleep.
- Limit stimulants: Avoid caffeine and other stimulants at least 8-10 hours before bedtime and minimize exposure to blue light from screens in the hour leading up to sleep.
