Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

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

I received recommendation on the way to repair this from an expensive buddy years in the past that has labored effectively for me, and I attempt to cross it on to buddies who’ve this downside. It helps if you know the way to meditate. You don’t need to 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 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 course of the evening, she stated to assume to your self, “nice, that is the right 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.
