Physiologist Vasily Orlov told SOLENKA.INFO in an interview how to avoid insomnia and feel awake in the morning.

The specialist noted that quality and adequate sleep is very important for our health. The fact is that during the night rest our body recovers from a long day of work.

According to a specialist, to understand how well a person had a night's rest is possible to understand his/her state of health in the morning and during the day. He noted that one of the most important factors determining the quality of sleep is a sufficient amount of the hormone melatonin, which is produced only in the dark. The less a person sleeps during the dark hours of the day, the less melatonin he or she has.

Deficiency of this hormone increases the likelihood of developing infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases and other pathologies. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that protects the human body from the damage that free radicals cause.

The physiologist gave some tips, the observance of which will help to get rid of insomnia and feel awake after waking up:

1. Try to go to bed at the same time. It is better if it happens between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.
2. Before going to bed, turn off any lights in the room and draw the curtains.
3. One hour before going to bed, give up watching TV, telephone and computer.
4. Monitor the temperature of the air in the room. It should be slightly cool. This will stimulate the production of melatonin.
5. Minimize the amount of stress, don't abuse caffeine and alcoholic beverages.
6. Be outdoors more during the day and don't forget sunbathing.
7. Drink water purified from fluoride, as it disrupts the epiphysis.
8. Take glycine before going to bed. This amino acid is beneficial for serotonin production.
