Smokers often complain about the inability to sleep
after they quit smoking. In fact, sleep disorders are a common side
effect of smoking cessation. It is due to the nicotine withdrawal from
the body. Also, there may be some people who might sleep more during the
withdrawal period. But in most of the cases, people suffer from
insomnia. This is more prominent in the first few weeks
of smoking cessation. Below are some of the methods to fight insomnia
naturally:
1) Avoid coffee and caffeine products When you are smoking your
body will be able to withstand the effects of caffeine. But when you
quit smoking, it can make you jittery and anxious. So, if you are
having trouble sleeping in the night, you should cut back on your
caffeine.
2) Take a warm bath It is another way to de stress and relax. It
will help you feel better.
3) Herbal tea Having a cup of herbal tea is another way to
increase your sleep. There are a number of herbal teas in the market
