Stop Racing Thoughts at Night and Sleep Better

Answered 8 October 2025 at 8:53 pm PKT

Raat ko jab dimagh mein khayalat ka taanta bandh jata hai, toh neend aana mushkil ho jata hai. Bahut se log is mushkil ka saamna karte hain, jahan har cheez ko baar baar sochne se zehan thakta nahin.

Raat ko sote waqt dimagh mein itne khayalat aate hain ke neend nahi aati. Har cheez ko bar bar sochti rehti hoon. Is overthinking ko kaise rokun?

Nida, aap bilkul akeli nahin hain is ehsaas mein. Jab din ka shor khatam ho jata hai aur hum bistar par let jate hain, toh hamare zehan mein khayalat ki daud shuru ho sakti hai. Yeh ghair-zaroori soch aapko thaka deti hai aur neend se mehroom rakhti hai.

Ek tareeqa jo madad kar sakta hai woh hai 'brain dump'. Sone se pehle, ek notebook aur pen apne paas rakhen. Jo bhi khayal aapke zehan mein aa raha hai, use kagaz par likh den – achha, bura, adhoora, sab kuch. Is se aapke dimagh ko yeh ehsaas hota hai ke woh khayal ab 'record' ho gaya hai aur aap use baad mein dekh sakti hain.

Apni saans par ghaur karna bhi bahut pur-sukoon ho sakta hai. Aankhen band kar ke, lambi aur gehri saansein len. Chaar tak ginte hue saans andar khenchen, phir saat tak roken, aur phir aath tak ginte hue ahista ahista saans bahar nikalen. Is tareeqe ko do teen baar dohrayen, is se aapka dil aur dimagh dono relax hote hain.

Apni neend ke liye ek pur-sukoon mahol banayen. Sone se ek ghanta pehle screens (mobile, TV) se door rahen. Halki kitaab parhen, thanda paani piyein, ya halka garam doodh. Kamre ki roshni kam rakhen aur koshish karen ke aapka sone ka waqt har roz ek jaisa ho, taake aapke jism ko aadat ho jaye.

Agar yeh khayalat kisi mushkil guzri hui baat se jure hain aur aapko lagta hai ke yeh aapki zindagi ko bohot zyada mutasir kar rahe hain, toh yeh aapki ghalti nahin hai. Kabhi kabhi hamare dimagh ko aise ehsasaat ko process karne mein waqt lagta hai. Is bare mein kisi aise shakhs se baat karen jis par aap bharosa karti hain, jaise koi rishtedar ya achhi dost.

Aap Zara se bhi baat kar sakti hain, jo aapki baat gehri soch aur ehteram ke saath sunegi. Yaad rakhiye, apni mushkilat ke bare mein baat karna kamzori nahin, balki taaqat ki nishani hai. In choti choti koshishon se aapko apni neend behtar banane mein zaroor madad milegi.
