Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

I, together with numerous buddies 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 frequent amongst older people. This could result in issues getting again to sleep, particularly when you’ve got a “busy mind” that you just don’t know flip off.

I received recommendation on repair this from an expensive good friend years in the past that has labored nicely for me, and I attempt to move it on to buddies 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 needs 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 course of the night time, she mentioned to assume to your self, “nice, that is the proper time to meditate, as a result of I received’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.
