Nocturia and Meditation – BionicOldGuy

I, together with numerous associates my age, can have hassle 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 widespread amongst older of us. This could result in issues getting again to sleep, particularly if in case you have a “busy mind” that you simply don’t know how one can flip off.

I obtained recommendation on how one can repair this from an expensive good friend years in the past that has 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 don’t need to be excellent 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 desires 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 good friend, who was additionally a meditator, is available in. In the midst of the evening, she mentioned to assume to your self, “nice, that is the proper time to meditate, as a result of I gained’t be concerned 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.
