Who would have guessed that a lack of sleep could actually kill you faster than a lack of food?

The reality is that skipping sleep at night is actually way worse for you than skipping meals.

Punch NG says, “[Not getting enough sleep] affects a person’s mental health. Lack of sleep kills faster than starvation and people who are not sleeping well lack the ability to handle stress and cope with stress.”

Here are some ways to fight back against insomnia, starting tonight.

Sleep hypnosis

Sleep hypnosis videos can be game-changers for you at night. You can find several free options on YouTube or through podcast apps.

Falling asleep to sleep hypnosis videos help keep your mind clear so you can focus on drifting off.

Morning exercise

Exercising too close to bedtime is a total red flag in the insomnia world. Getting your juices flowing right before bed might keep you up.

But exercising in the morning at the start of your day helps your circadian rhythm fall in line by educating your body on when it needs to be awake and when it needs to rest.

Natural supplements

There are plenty of natural supplements to dabble with when it comes to getting deep sleep at night.

• Ashwaganda
• Melatonin
• CBD
• Valerian root
• Magnesium

Supplements that can purchased over the counter or on Amazon may not be as powerful as you’d like. If so, scheduling a same-day appointment with an online doctor who can fill a prescription for you right away is an option.
