For those who can't get rid of fatigue even after sleeping | Improving sleep starts with your physical condition
"I'm sleeping well, but I still feel tired"
"I'm waking up more often during the night"
These sleep problems become more prevalent in people in their 40s and 50s.
Many people tend to think that insomnia is due to "age," "stress," or "autonomic nervous system imbalance," but when I look at bodies in my chiropractic practice, I feel that in many cases the cause of insomnia is the "condition of the body."
Physical characteristics common to people prone to poor sleep quality
1) Tension around the neck, shoulders, and head cannot be relieved
A common problem among people with poor sleep quality is chronic tension around the neck, shoulders, and head.
If your neck is stiff, it will be difficult for your body to enter rest mode, making it more likely that you will have shallow sleep.
2) Shallow breathing and stiff chest and ribs
Shallow breathing makes it difficult for your body to switch into relaxation mode.
When the chest, ribs, and area around the diaphragm become stiff, it becomes difficult to breathe deeply, which can affect how well you fall asleep and how deeply you sleep.
3) The pelvis and lower back become stiff, causing less tossing and turning
People with stiff pelvises and lower backs will turn over less during sleep and be more likely to maintain the same posture.
As a result, your body has difficulty recovering, which can lead to symptoms such as waking up in the middle of the night feeling heavy or having a stiff lower back in the morning.
Why the autonomic nervous system alone cannot fully improve
When it comes to improving sleep, people tend to focus only on the autonomic nervous system, but in reality , nerves, breathing, and posture (body movements) are all interconnected.
If your body remains stiff, your ability to relax will be limited, and you will often not be able to get a deep sleep.
The goal of Re・Set's chiropractic treatment is not to "put you to sleep" but to "create a body that can sleep"
Chiropractic is not about putting you to sleep right away, but rather about creating a body that can sleep naturally .
In Re・Set, we will adjust the following points according to your condition.
- Release tension around the neck and back of the head
- Adjusting the rib cage (ribs) makes it easier to breathe deeply
- Adjusts the pelvis and lower back to make it easier to turn over in bed
"Massage may make you feel better in the moment, but it will soon return."
"No matter how hard I try to take care of myself, nothing changes"
For such people, it is especially important to identify and adjust the points that suit their current body.
Recommended for:
- I can't get rid of my fatigue even after sleeping, and I have a hard time in the morning
- Waking up in the middle of the night/light sleep
- Stiff neck and shoulders won't go away
- I feel like my breathing is shallow
- My lower back feels heavy and I feel like I don't turn over much in bed.
Summary: Sleep is affected by "physical state" rather than "consciousness"
Sleep is not something that can be managed by awareness or effort alone.
When your body is in good condition, your sleep will naturally become deeper.
If you are having trouble sleeping for days, you can start by looking at your body.
