Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

I, together with quite a lot of mates 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 people. This will result in issues getting again to sleep, particularly you probably have a “busy mind” that you just don’t know methods to flip off.

I bought recommendation on methods to repair this from a pricey buddy years in the past that has labored properly for me, and I attempt to go it on to mates who’ve this drawback. It helps if you understand how to meditate. You don’t need to be excellent at it, you generally is 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 drawback 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 proper time to meditate, as a result of I received’t agonize 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.
