I remember a long night at the rehab hospital following my first hip replacement surgery. I didnt feel much pain due to my brand spanking new hip. But I had trouble falling asleep despite closing my eyes tightly and attempting to drift off. Fortunately I can sleep through the night now. However I empathize with those who experience chronic pain as they often struggle to get sufficient rest. Sleep is crucial for our physical and mental health. Its a tough situation when we cant sleep and the lack of sleep can have a huge impact on our quality of life.
Imagine being someone who lives with chronic pain. Falling asleep and staying asleep can feel like finishing a marathon only to have your muscles fail you in the final stretch. Its like Malawi Email List the finish line with a tired body only to find that your body wont let you rest. Despite your best efforts youre stuck awake unable to complete the race you started and unable to get the rest you need. Raise your hand if you can relate to this. Running a marathon is similar to what it can feel like when someone finally gets to sleep but cant stay asleep throughout the night even after theyve expended all of their energy doing so.
Many people with chronic pain often encounter some of the following scenarios note this isnt an exhaustive list Difficulty falling asleep If youre experiencing pain it can be challenging to find a comfortable position to sleep or relax. To alleviate this problem try practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation before going to bed. I regularly meditate for at least an hour just before bedtime. After a busy day meditation helps calm my mind and connects me to my intuition. I ensure my bedroom is comfortable for sleep by keeping it cool dark and relatively quiet except for our dog who sleeps on the floor with us.
