Most of the people today have the problem of not being able to sleep. This condition is also referred to as insomnia or sleeplessness. Psychologists say that the main reason behind this issue is that people are not able to relax and calm down during the bed time. Although, the stress and tension make us very annoyed and anxious and leaves us in a worried state.
If your schedule has been disturbed since a long time, then your anxious nature keeps building up. This causes the problem to persist, and you don’t sleep long enough!
Don’t worry; you can easily put an end to all this and have a deep sleep. Here’s how:
