Recently, I (Chihiro) met my colleague who had been suffered from insomnia. As his facial expression became bright, I asked him why. And he told me the conversation between him and his doctor:
Tell me your lifestyle habit.
Ah… recently I work remotely…and after working I watch YouTube a lot…
Hmm. Then you wear headphones a lot?
Yeah, almost all time.
I think that’s the reason you can’t sleep. As you hear sounds all time, your brain still seeks sounds during night. I recommend listening to relaxing music after going to bed.
“I followed the advice, listening to relaxing music such as soap cutting sounds during my bed time, and then I started to sleep well”, he concluded peacefully.
After the conversation, I thought… maybe, that advice, which recommend doing relaxing xxx when your brain ‘seeks’ xxx after stressful events, can be applied to other problems.
That kind of ‘taking your mind off’ techniques, I think, become more and more important as our society becomes more and more full of things which your brain is likely to ‘seek’.
…so, today again, I stick to my spouse (Candice) as she is my best ‘taking my mind off’ method 🙂
