Now, they are telling us, insomniacs should not even try getting sleep. It may sound like an advice that absolutely makes no sense, at first. But if you understand the rationale behind it, it doesn’t seem farfetched.

The whole report is over here and the research was spearheaded by Glasgow Sleep Centre at Glasgow University. The center admits hundreds of patients with sleep disorders yearly.

In relation to the research on insomnia, the director, Professor Colin Espie said:

“These kind of effects [not forcing sleep] are at least as good or better than a sleeping pill when it is working at its best.” He explained the programme worked by helping people allow sleep to occur naturally again.

Professor Espie said:  “What a good sleeper is often doing is resisting sleep and allowing it to be something that overtakes them, whereas bad sleepers try to evoke sleep, which encourages it to go away.”

So, the next time you find no relief in other methods that supposedly helps your insomnia, do the opposite and let sleep take over naturally.

Sleeping is not far from being intoxicated. The lack of sleep will surely bother the focus that most people have when they are on the road. Perhaps the next time we drive, we should think twice if we are up to driving anywhere, regardless of how far it would be.

Drowsiness or yawning are symptoms of not being on the same page as most people who lack the necessary hours of sleep. In a sense, we tend to fall into this thing called microsleep wherein we get some short spells of yearning for sleep. Hopefully the next time we open our eyes, we are still in the same world.
