Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

I, together with quite a lot of associates my age, can have bother 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 stand up to pee a number of occasions per night time, which is widespread amongst older people. This could result in issues getting again to sleep, particularly you probably have a “busy mind” that you just don’t know how one can flip off.

I acquired recommendation on how one can repair this from an expensive good friend years in the past that has labored effectively for me, and I attempt to move it on to associates who’ve this drawback. It helps if you know the way to meditate. You don’t need to be superb 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 wish to cooperate meditating, it desires 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 good friend, who was additionally a meditator, is available in. In the midst of the night time, she mentioned to assume to your self, “nice, that is the proper time to meditate, as a result of I gained’t be anxious by falling asleep”. Your thoughts, which doesn’t wish to meditate, will see falling asleep because the lesser of two evils. Works like a champ for me.
