Counting the hours left for sleep only exacerbates insomnia.

These conclusions were made by scientists in the course of a study involving five thousand people who turned to doctors because of sleep problems. People worry about not getting enough sleep, then they start figuring out how long it will take them to fall asleep again and when they need to get up. It doesn't make falling asleep easier. The more stress a person experiences, the more difficult it is for them to fall asleep. Scientists have recommended removing fitness trackers and other gadgets with watches at night, as well as putting the phone away so as not to keep track of the time. This habit can relieve the symptoms of insomnia, which affects 4-22% of adults worldwide.
