Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

I, together with loads of pals my age, can have bother sleeping at evening, particularly when waking up in the course of the evening. This may be made worse by “nocturia” or having to rise up to pee a number of occasions per evening, which is frequent amongst older people. This could result in issues getting again to sleep, particularly in case you have a “busy mind” that you simply don’t know flip off.

I acquired recommendation on repair this from a pricey pal years in the past that has labored properly for me, and I attempt to go it on to pals who’ve this downside. It helps if you understand how to meditate. You don’t need to be excellent 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 wish 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 pal, 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 proper time to meditate, as a result of I gained’t worry 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.
