5 Habits That May Lead to Insomnia

Using mobile

Avoid working on a smartphone, laptop, or iPad after lying in bed at night. Also, do not make the mistake of messaging a friend or family member or becoming a part of a group chat, just before going to sleep.

Consumption of tea and coffee

As caffeine is present in tea and coffee, it keeps the brain awake. This is the reason why one should avoid taking tea, coffee, chocolate, cola, soda, or energy drinks after dinner at night.

Exercise

It’s best to avoid working out right before hitting the bed. In fact, when we work out before bed, our bodies and minds are highly stimulated. This can take away the sleep. 

Sleeping immediately after studying

When one goes to sleep immediately after studying, the mind remains engrossed in the same work even while sleeping. One should try to complete their important work a little before sleeping.

Drinking alcohol

According to experts, one may fall asleep quickly after drinking alcohol. However, they may have to face problems like restlessness and frequent opening of the eyes during sleep.
