As RT was told in the service, Russians experience the greatest need for restoring sleep patterns in early spring - in March (+ 22%), and also with the beginning of autumn - in September (+ 21%).
The next sales peak is in November (+10%), the specialists explained.
According to general practitioner Maria Sergeeva, sleep disorders can often manifest themselves against the background of stress.
“Autumn and spring are characterized by exacerbations of diseases.
To normalize the regime, it is necessary to follow the schedule: wake up and go to bed at the same time.
Before going to bed, it is better to limit bright light, sounds, do not use a mobile phone, maintain the desired temperature in the room (+16 ... +19 ° C), limit the intake of heavy food, liquids (including caffeine, alcohol) and nicotine, ”advised specialist.
The doctor said that if the problem persists, it is recommended to consult with a specialist and choose drugs that help you fall asleep quickly.
“The advice of a doctor is very important, since many sedatives and hypnotics are prescribed only by prescription and should be taken with care,” Sergeeva emphasized.
