"निद्रा स्वास्थ्य": लॉक-डाऊन च्या ह्या तणावपूर्ण काळात अशी घ्या झोपेची काळजी. / डॉ. उत्कर्ष मानकर

Read more: www.healthreach.co.in/blog.php

मानसिकच नव्हे तर शारीरिक आरोग्या करिता मुबलक झोप अत्यंत महत्त्वाची असते. परंतु दैनंदिन ताणतणाव बऱ्याचदा आपली झोप अस्वस्थ करण्यास कारणीभूत ठरतो. दैनंदिन आयुष्यामध्ये याचा अनुभव आपण सर्वांनीच कधी ना कधी घेतला आहे. कोरोना विषाणू ची महामारी आणि लॉक डाऊन च्या ह्या अभूतपूर्व सद्यस्थितीमध्ये अशा ताणतणावामध्ये आणखीच भर पडली आहे. निरनिराळ्या सोशल मीडिया वरील पोस्ट्सचा भडिमार, 24 तास चालणाऱ्या बातम्या, स्वतःच्या तसेच परिवाराच्या आरोग्याची चिंता, ढासळती अर्थव्यवस्था आणि लॉक-डाऊन मुळे विस्कटलेले दैनंदिन वेळापत्रक अशा कारणांमुळे हा ताणतणाव शिगेला पोहोचला आहे. आणि त्याबरोबरच झोप न लागणे, वारंवार जाग येणे आणि लागली, तरीही अस्वस्थ झोप येणे, या झोपेच्या त्रासांमध्ये भर पडली आहे. कोरोनाच नव्हे तर इतर मानसिक आणि शारीरिक व्याधिंची तीव्रता देखील वाढली आहे. कुठलीही औषधे न घेता, "निद्रा स्वास्थ्य" म्हणजेच स्लिप हाइजीन (Sleep Hygiene) च्या तंत्रांचा उपयोग करून आरोग्यदायक स्वस्थ झोप कशी घ्यावी ह्याबद्दल सदर लेख:

झोपेचे वेळापत्रक कायम ठेवा: नैसर्गिक नियमाप्रमाणे सायंकाळी सातच्या सुमारास अंधार पडायला सुरुवात होते, आणि पहाटे चार ते पाच नंतर उजेड पडायला लागतो. आपल्या मेंदूमधील झोपेचे जैविक घड्याळ या वेळापत्रकाला जोडून बनले आहे. परंतु उत्पादकतेला सर्वश्रेष्ठ स्थानी ठेवणाऱ्या या युगामध्ये कृत्रिम प्रकाशाच्या अति-वापरामुळे हे नैसर्गिक वेळापत्रक आणि आपल्या मेंदूतील जैविक घड्याळ यांचा तारतम्य राहत नाही. झोपेची तसेच उठायची वेळ निश्चित केल्याने आपली झोप आपोआपच लयबद्ध पद्धतीने वेळेवर येईल आणि आपल्या आरोग्यास लाभदायक ठरेल.
झोप आल्यासच बिछान्याकडे जा: झोप येत नसल्यास बिछान्यावर लोळत राहणे आणि कुस बदलत राहणे हे झोपेला आणखीच अस्वस्थ करणारे असतात. त्यामुळे थकवा जाणवत असल्यास आणि झोप येत असल्यासच बिछान्यावर पडणे उत्तम. तसेच, झोप येत नसल्यास घड्याळाकडे वारंवार बघत राहणेही टाळा.

वीस मिनिटे किंवा अधिक वेळा नंतरही झोप न आल्यास टीव्ही, मोबाईल किंवा लॅपटॉप चा उपयोग टाळा. त्याऐवजी बिछान्यावर उठून कुठलीही आरामदायक किंवा कंटाळवाणी क्रिया करा. संथ संगीत ऐकणे, मेडिटेशन, किंवा एखादे पुस्तक वाचणे अशावेळी चांगले. जोरात संगीत ऐकणे, त्रासदायक आठवणींना उगाळून उगीच रवंथ करत राहणे किंवा उत्तेजक पुस्तक किंवा बातम्या वाचणे टाळा.

वाईट सवयी बदला: तंबाखू, सिगरेट तसेच कॉफी, चहा आणि caffeine असलेले कोल्ड्रिंक्स मेंदूसाठी उत्तेजक पदार्थ ठरतात. तसेच बऱ्याचदा झोप लागण्यासाठी आणि रिलॅक्स होण्यासाठी अनेकजण मद्यपेयांचा वापर करतात. जरी सुरुवातीला झोप लागण्या मध्ये याने मदत होत असेल, तरीही दीर्घ काळामध्ये दारू झोपेला प्रचंड प्रमाणात हानिकारक असते. तरी झोपण्याच्या कमीत कमी चार ते सहा तास अगोदर पासून ह्या सगळ्या गोष्टी वगळा.

बिछाना फक्त झोपण्यासाठी आहे हे वळण मेंदूला द्या: आपला मेंदू हा एक अत्यंत विकसित अवयव असला तरीही ठराविक गोष्टी त्याला शिकवणे आणि त्याला चांगल्या सवयी लावून त्यांची जोपासना करणे अत्यंत महत्त्वाचे आहे. बऱ्याचदा बिछाण्याचा उपयोग फक्त झोपेसाठी न होता, टीव्ही बघणे, मोबाईल चा उपयोग करणे, जेवण करणे, वाचणे, शरीरसंबंध ठेवणे, नोकरी आणि घरगुती कामांशी संबंधित निरनिराळ्या क्रियांसाठी होतो. त्यामुळे मन बिछान्याला झोपेच्या क्रीयेशी संलग्न करू शकत नाही. केवळ झोपेच्या वेळी बिछाण्याचा उपयोग केल्याने आपले मन बिछान्याला झोपेशी संलग्न करू लागेल आणि योग्य वेळी झोप येण्यास मदत होईल.
दिवसाची झोप : रात्रीच्या झोपेचा महाशत्रू! दिवसाची झोप टाळल्याने रात्री थकवा येऊन चांगली झोप लागण्यास मदत होते. जर दिवसाची झोप टाळताच येत नसेल तर ती अर्धा ते एक तासाहून कमीच ठेवा आणि दुपारी 3 च्या नंतर अशी झोप टाळा.

झोपेची तयारी (sleep rituals): नियमितपणे झोपायच्या अर्ध्या तासा आधी हात-पाय हलक्या पद्धतीने ताणणे, प्राणायाम करणे, ग्रीन टी घेणे ह्यामुळे बऱ्याचशा लोकांमध्ये झोपेस मदत करत असल्याचे जाणवून आले आहे.
संध्याकाळी गरम पाण्याने आंघोळ: झोपेच्या एक ते दोन तासाआधी गरम पाण्याने अंघोळ करा. यामुळे शरीराचे तापमान त्वरित वाढते, आणि त्यानंतर हळूहळू कमी होऊ लागते. कमी होणाऱ्या तापमानामुळे झोप येण्यास मदत होते.

झोपेची डायरी: आपल्याला प्रत्यक्षात झोप व्यवस्थित लागते की नाही, आणि ती किती वेळ लागते, यासाठी झोपायला जायचा आणि झोपेतून उठायची वेळ एका डायरीत नोंद करून ठेवा. तरीही ही गोष्ट एका मर्यादेपर्यंतच बरी. एक ते दोन आठवडे डायरीमध्ये नोंदी केल्यानंतर दोन महिन्यानंतरच पुन्हा नोंद करून झोपेच्या वेळापत्रकामध्ये किती फरक पडला आहे ते बघा. झोप येण्यासाठी आपण वापरलेल्या निरनिराळ्या युक्तीं मुळे किती फायदा झाला हे बघण्यासाठीही या डायरीचा उपयोग होईल.

व्यायाम: कधी, कसा आणि किती: नियमित व्यायामाने झोपेची गुणवत्ता वाढते. तरीही झोपेच्या चार तासाच्या आधी व्यायाम न केलेलाच बरा. मुख्यत्वे संध्याकाळी चार वाजे नंतर जास्त तणावपूर्ण व्यायाम करू नये. कुठलाही व्यायामाचा स्तर हळूहळू वाढवत न्यावा. रात्रीच्या उत्तम झोपेसाठी आणि सकाळी ताजेतवाने वाटण्यासाठी सकाळी उठून रपेट मारणे अतिउत्तम.

संतुलित आहार: आपला आहार निरनिराळ्या पौष्टिक घटकांनी संतुलित ठेवा. तसेच आहाराची वेळ निश्चित ठेवा. रात्री भरपेट आहार घेऊ नका. झोपेच्या अर्ध्या तासाचा आधी गरम दूध घेणे चांगले. दुधामधील tryptophan हे नैसर्गिक केमिकल झोप लागण्यास मदत करते.
दिवसांच्या क्रिया निश्चित ठेवा: झोप न झाल्यास दिवसाचे कार्यक्रम न करता आराम करणे किंवा झोप घेण्याची इच्छा होणे स्वाभाविक आहे. तरिही असे केल्यास रात्रीची झोप येणे जास्त त्रासदायक होऊ शकते. त्यामुळे थकलेले असतानाही ही कमी गतीने का होईना आपले काम चालूच ठेवा.

झोप लागण्यासाठी वातावरण निर्मिती: झोपेच्या वेळी आधी आपला बिछाना आणि बेडरूम शांत आणि आरामदायक ठेवा. झोपे पासून चित्त विचलीत करणाऱ्या गोष्टींना ह्या वातावरणापासून दूरच ठेवा. चादर, ब्लॅंकेट, पंखा, कुलर, ए.सी. इत्यादींचा उपयोग करून आरामदायक तापमान ठेवा. प्रकाशाचा त्रास होत असल्यास पडदे, eye mask किंवा साधा रुमाल, आणि आवाजाचा त्रास होत असल्यास ear buds यांचा वापर करा.
निद्रा शास्त्राच्या ह्या युक्तीचा प्रयोग करून किती फायदा होतो हे जरूर कळवा. मानसिक आरोग्य आणि शारीरिक आरोग्य दोन्हीही जपणे सध्याच्या बिकट परिस्थितीमध्ये अति महत्वाचे आहे. झोप न लागणे किंवा झोप चांगली न लागणे मानसिक रोगाचे लक्षण असू शकते. तेव्हा, आपल्या मानसोपचार तज्ञांचा सल्ला जरूर घ्या. आपले संपूर्ण मानसिक आणि शारीरिक स्वास्थ्य, हाच आमचा प्रयत्न!
