Nocturia and meditation – BionicOldGuy

Like many associates my age, I can have bother sleeping at night time, particularly once I get up in the course of the night time. This can be made worse by “nocturia” or having to stand up to pee a number of occasions an evening, which is widespread in older individuals. This may result in issue getting again to sleep, particularly when you have a “busy mind” that you just don’t know methods to flip off.

Years in the past I obtained recommendation from a pricey buddy on methods to remedy this downside and it labored nicely for me, and I attempt to go it on to associates who’ve this downside. It helps if you understand how to meditate. You do not have to be superb at it, you could be a newbie (I gave suggestions for newbies on meditation here). Most individuals with “busy brains” discover that their thoughts would not need to cooperate whereas meditating, it desires to wander from thought to thought (or fear for the sake of worrying). One other downside when meditating is falling asleep. That is the place the recommendation of my buddy, who was additionally a meditator, is available in. In the course of the night time, she instructed herself to suppose, “Nice, that is the right time to meditate, as a result of I will not be bothered by falling asleep.” Your thoughts, which doesn’t need to meditate, will see falling asleep because the lesser of two evils. Works like a champ for me.
