How to Calm Your Anxiety at Night

It’s bedtime, and not a creature is stirring…except for your racing mind, that is. Why is it that even after a relatively anxiety-free day, our minds sometimes go into overdrive when our heads hit the pillow?

Psychologist Susan Albers, PsyD, talks about how to calm anxiety at night and even prevent it from happening in the first place.
Why do you get anxiety at night?

When you lie down at night to unwind, your brain turns to all of the worries it didn’t have time for during the day. Frequently, this anxiety revolves around worries you can’t solve in the moment.

“All the things that have been put on the back burner come to the forefront of your head,” Dr. Albers says. “Without competing demands for your attention, these worries often get louder and more pronounced.”

Chronic daytime stress puts your body into overdrive and taxes your hormones and adrenal system, which are directly linked to sleep — so sleep troubles may be a red flag telling you to address stress during your waking hours.

Nighttime anxiety can trigger a vicious cycle: A bad night’s sleep leads to exhaustion the next day and disrupts your body’s natural rhythms. “This makes you more vulnerable to anxiety during the day that can bleed into the night,” Dr. Albers says. And so the cycle repeats.
Settle into your routines

When it comes to sleep, routine is your best friend.

Eating at the same time every day helps regulate your circadian rhythms.
Eating breakfast signals that it’s time for your body to wake up.
Regular daytime exercise releases endorphins and decreases levels of cortisol, the hormone behind stress.
Going to bed at the same time every night teaches your body to get sleepy around the same time.

But if you want to lessen nighttime anxiety, it’s still important to implement a specific nighttime routine.

“You can’t expect to go from 100 mph and then suddenly stop,” Dr. Albers says. Instead, institute a 30-minute transition between bedtime and the rest of your day.

Try quiet, tech-free activities that reduce your cortisol levels and help ease you into sleep, such as:

Taking a bath.
Reading a book.
Journaling.
Doing yoga stretches.

Try these pre-sleep snacks

If you’re worried you’ll be too worried to fall asleep, head off nighttime anxiety with these all-natural tricks:

Drink tart cherry juice or eat a bowl of tart cherries. Studies show that tart cherry consumption can help you sleep for up to 85 minutes longer because they’re a source of melatonin, a sleep aid that reduces inflammation in the body.
Make a mug of chamomile tea. This ancient herbal tea has been clinically shown to help reduce anxiety and promote sleep.
Pop a Brazil nut or two. These big, buttery tree nuts are one of the world’s best sources of selenium, which can help your thyroid run smoothly and thus aid in sleep. Just two Brazil nuts have been shown to be as helpful as a selenium supplement.

Try not to consume caffeine late in the day, whether in coffee or elsewhere. “Be mindful of what you’re consuming,” Dr. Albers says, “because too much caffeine can exacerbate existing anxiety.”
Put your phone to bed

Just say no to doomscrolling before bed — the practice of taking in a barrage of bad news online. “Give your phone a bedtime before your own,” Dr. Albers advises.

And if anxiety keeps you awake or wakes you up, resist the temptation to break this rule and start using your phone. Your phone’s blue light signals your brain to turn back on, ultimately making it even harder to get to sleep.

“This is a No. 1 no-no for helping you fall back to sleep,” Dr. Albers warns.
If you can’t sleep…

If you wake up with anxiety in the middle of the night, these practical tips can help you stop tossing and turning:

Write it down. Keep a journal next to your bed where you can jot down your worries. “This helps you to detach and let it go,” Dr. Albers says.
Try an app. Apps such as Calm, Headspace®, or the Cleveland Clinic’s Mindful Moments share relaxing sleep stories to help soothe your mind.
Listen to soothing music. Studies show that relaxing tunes can calm your autonomic nervous system, which leads to slower breathing, reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure, all of which help you sleep.
Get up but stay calm. If you simply can’t snooze, it’s OK to get out of bed — just be smart about what you do next. “Choose an activity that is relaxing rather than a task or activity that turns on your brain full-throttle,” Dr. Albers says. She recommends routine, low-engagement tasks such as packing your lunch and folding the laundry.

And try to avoid self-medication with food, alcohol, or sleep aids, which can provide short-term help but won’t get to the root of your issues.
Meditate on it

“Your breathing patterns are a signal,” Dr. Albers says. “When your breathing slows down, it sends a message to your brain and body that it’s time to go to sleep.” She suggests this 4-7-8 breathing technique from Dr. Andrew Weil:

Gently part your lips.
Exhale, making a “whoosh” sound as you do.
Silently inhale as you press your lips together for a count of four.
For a count of seven, hold your breath.
Exhale for a count of eight, and make the whooshing sound again.
Repeat this four times as you first start; work up to eight repetitions.

Finally, if nothing seems to help your nighttime anxiety, check in with a physician or therapist, who can help get to the bottom of underlying medical conditions or anxiety disorders.

As you (try to) fall asleep, remember: Mindfulness is key. Rather than worrying about the future, focus on what’s within your control right now — like getting to sleep.

The Union Buildings

The Union Buildings in Pretoria form the official seat of the South African Government and are a National Heritage Site. The Buildings are an iconic landmark in the country and one of the major tourist attractions in South Africa, having born witness to its democratic change as well as its challenging past. In fact, this is where, in 1994, Nelson Mandela was sworn in as South Africa’s first black president. Though the buildings themselves are not open to the public, the attractively landscaped gardens that surround the building are popular for picnics, with a new statue of Mandela to oversee it all.

Does a Bad Night’s Sleep Affect Your Health?

You know that sleep is a pillar of good health, along with a nutritious diet and regular activity. Not getting the recommended seven to nine hours of slumber a night can contribute to a host of health problems, from higher blood pressure to an increased risk of obesity.

But what if your sleep woes happen just occasionally? Can one miserable night of tossing and turning have negative impacts on your health?

Pulmonologist and sleep disorders specialist Samuel Gurevich, MD, explains how a sleepless night affects your mental and physical health — and how to get more shut-eye.
Cognitive side effects of not sleeping

If you were up in the wee hours last night, odds are you’re feeling it today. “Sleep is important because being awake is important,” Dr. Gurevich says. “And one or two nights of bad sleep can impair your ability to function well the next day.”

Too little sleep — even for just one night — can leave you dealing with several unpleasant cognitive effects:

Irritability.
Daytime sleepiness.
Slowed reaction time.
Reduced focus and concentration.
Problems with memory and attention.
Symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Those effects do more than sour your mood (and make you reach for more coffee). “Paying attention to your surroundings and your reaction time are processes that keep us safe and on task,” Dr. Gurevich says.

When those processes aren’t working as well as they should, it can impair your performance at work or school and even put you at risk of car crashes or other accidents, explains Dr. Gurevich.
Physical effects of a bad night’s sleep

When you don’t get enough sleep night after night over the long term, it can lead to all sorts of physical effects — including problems for your heart health.

But even a few missed nights of sleep can take a physical toll on your body, Dr. Gurevich says. “Lack of sleep causes an increase in stress hormones,” he explains. “That triggers your resting heart rate and blood pressure to increase.”

Those changes aren’t usually worrisome if they happen occasionally. “The body and brain recuperate quite well from one or two sleepless nights,” says Dr. Gurevich. “But if it stretches into a month or more, that can have lasting impacts on your heart health, mental health and cognitive abilities.”
What are the health benefits of good sleep?

Sleep isn’t just idle time. Many important body processes are happening while you snooze. A good night’s rest benefits your health and well-being in some important ways:
Brain processing

Sleeping helps to lock memories into your brain. When you’re sleep-deprived, you’re less able to remember things you learned while you were awake. Sleep also helps your brain regulate emotions. That’s why you might feel irritable and moody after a poor night’s rest.
Tissue repair

While you sleep, your body is hard at work repairing itself by releasing proteins and hormones that help restore damaged tissues, including muscles. If you’re sleep-deprived, your body heals more slowly. This tissue repair process is also important for helping athletes build muscle and recover from a workout.
Immune system function

Sleep helps boost your body’s ability to fight illness. During slumber, the body produces cytokines — proteins that direct immune cells to fight inflammation throughout the body.

Researchers have also found that sleep deprivation increases your body’s production of white blood cells, the same response the body shows when exposed to significant stress. That imbalance in your immune system is associated with illnesses such as heart disease.
How to catch more ZZZs

You want to sleep well and get the amount of sleep you need. So why isn’t your brain cooperating? Unfortunately, falling asleep and staying asleep doesn’t always come easily. Dr. Gurevich offers these tips for natural sleep remedies.

Set yourself up for success: Make sure you have a cool, quiet, dark environment to sleep in. Avoid bright lights, screens and caffeine before bedtime. And if you exercise in the evening, finish two or three hours before you go to bed.
Don’t panic: The more you worry about the sleep you’re not getting, the harder it is to fall asleep. Do what you can to maximize the chances of a restful night. Then do your best not to fret.
Treat medical problems: If you’re having trouble falling or staying asleep, talk to your doctor. There may be an underlying cause. Common causes of poor-quality sleep include chronic pain, sleep apnea and thyroid disorder.
Consider your stressors: Try to identify stressors and recognize how they’re affecting the quality and duration of sleep. Stress, anxiety and depression are among the biggest causes of tossing and turning.
Be boring: If you just can’t sleep, get out of bed and go to a different room, but do something boring. Whatever you do, put down the phone. Don’t watch TV and don’t look at anything that emits light.
Treat insomnia: Seeking out a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi).

Study for free in Mauritius: Scholarships open for SA students

With the new year upon us and many South Africans have completed their schooling or their undergraduate university studies, here is an opportunity to begin further studies for free, in the idyllic Indian Ocean Island of Mauritius.

These scholarships are open to South African students who will receive free education at public universities in Mauritius as well as a monthly stipend. Flight tickets to the island can also be reimbursed after arrival.
MAURITIUS RATED ONE OF THE SAFEST COUNTRY’S IN AFRICA

Mauritius is again open to nationals from South Africa after the island-state removed the travel and flight bans it imposed on SA in November last year. Direct flights between SA and Mauritius have resumed, with Air Mauritius. SA-based airlines, including the low-cost carrier FlySafair, are expected to announce their schedules soon.

Mauritius is rated one of the safest countries in Africa alongside Botswana and Namibia, and was in July 2020 classified by the World Bank, as a high-income country. The island’s education system is exemplary, producing a large number of IT and finance professionals for its fast-growing local financial services sector and stock market (SEMDEX).

South Africans are invited to apply for the Mauritius-Africa Scholarship Scheme offered by the government of Mauritius for full-time, on-campus undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The scholarship scheme is only for programmes offered for studies undertaken at public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Mauritius for the 2022 academic year, starting in April 2022.
SCHOLARSHIPS ONLY FOR SA STUDENTS

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), the scheme’s Nominating Agency, has called on South Africans who wish to apply for the Mauritius-Africa Scholarship Scheme to do so before the closing date of 31 January 2022.

“The information provided is for South African applicants only. Applicants from other eligible countries should contact their government or local representative of the Government of Mauritius for information on how to apply,” the DHET said, per BusinessTech

STUDIES STARTING IN APRIL

The department said applicants should note that this call for applications is for the April 2022 intake only. The call for the October 2022 intake will be published later in the year.

Applicants are urged to note that the above deadline differs from what is contained in the guidelines below, due to the processing of applications and selection processes that need to be completed by DHET.

“Failure to submit applications and supporting documents by the above due date will result in your application not being considered,” the department said.

The department said self-financing African students already studying in Mauritius are not eligible to apply for the same programme level where they are currently studying under this scholarship scheme.
SCHOLARSHIP INCLUSIONS

The scholarship will offer tuition fees and course-related costs of up to MUR 100 000 and a monthly living allowance to the value of MUR 12 500 (approximately R4 500).

Students will also be entitled to free basic health care in public hospitals in Mauritius and return airfare to and from Mauritius by the most economical route.

“Awardees will have to make their own arrangements to pay for their one-way air tickets and then apply for a refund upon arrival in Mauritius by providing the necessary original receipts and documentation. Please read the guidelines to ensure you have the correct documents for a refund,” the department said.

The department states that successful candidates are required to make provision for all other expenses not covered under this scholarship, for example, additional tuition costs above the tuition offer, costs of fieldwork, books and re-sit examination costs.

Applicants are advised to carefully read the guidelines before applying, to ensure they are eligible before applying.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

The following general criteria must be met:

South African citizens with a good health and with a strong academic record;
Candidates must have an interest in studying in Mauritius and demonstrate a commitment to the development of South Africa;

Applicants must have already applied for full-time on-campus studies at any public Higher Education Institution in Mauritius for the academic year starting in 2022 (proof of application is required by 19 February 2022);
Awardees should be vaccinated against Covid-19 to have access to higher education institutions in Mauritius. Awardees who cannot for medical purposes be vaccinated will be required to produce duly certified medical certificates;
Applicants must be prepared to undergo a medical check-up as per the Passport and Immigration Office requirements (http://passport.govmu.org) in Mauritius and the tests results shall be submitted to the Passport and Immigration Office, with a copy to the Ministry, not later than one month after arrival in Mauritius.

Ways to Help Your Child Make Friends in School
Advice and practice can help build healthy social skills

Kids seem to have busier schedules than ever before, as we shuffle them off from one activity or sports practice to another. Some can jump right into social situations, while others struggle.

What if your child isn’t a social butterfly or prefers to spend time alone at recess or after school? As a parent, there are some ways you can help, says pediatric behavioral health specialist Kristen Eastman, PsyD.

“If your child doesn’t appear to make friends like other kids the same age, they may just need some coaching and practice time on simple social skills,” she says.

She offers these tips to help you assess the situation and give your child a much-needed boost of confidence in approaching social situations.
Take time to observe and understand how your child socializes

Start with a “fly on the wall” approach, Dr. Eastman suggests. Attend a few activities at school (or sports after school) and pay close attention to how your child interacts with others. Do they behave differently than their “norm” at home? If so, why?

Your child may have a tough time starting conversations. They may have anxiety in large groups or a fear of public speaking, and that keeps them from engaging meaningfully with other children. Do they prefer to keep to themselves and observe instead of joining in?

Depending on what behavior you see, you can then decide where to focus your attention, what skills need building and how you can contribute. “Trust your instincts, because you know your kid best,” Dr. Eastman says.
Model positive social behavior

Children really do learn by example, so be mindful of how you interact with others.

Every time you strike up conversations with friends or neighbors, or even the check-out person at the grocery store, your child is aware. Almost every scenario becomes a learning opportunity, allowing your child to see how you join in, negotiate and problem-solve.
Role play at home

If your pre-teen or teenager finds it difficult to start conversations at lunch or during free time at school, sit down and practice at home. Discuss what topics interest them that he might talk about with other kids. Test different options until he finds something that comes naturally.
Give your child a head start

If your child wants to play baseball, but is reluctant to start, visit the field with them and throw the ball around so they can get acclimated ahead of time. Go early to the first practice so you arrive before others start showing up and the scene gets more chaotic.

If they want to take swimming lessons, let them take a couple private lessons before joining a full class, so they’ll already have built up some confidence.
Reinforce and praise

Make it exciting and rewarding to practice trying new things. Even when your child is only making slow progress, make sure to reinforce their efforts.

Acknowledge each small success, and tell your child how proud you are that they keep trying.
Get the ball rolling

For smaller children, setting up a play date with just one other child is often a good idea. If your child is older, you might open up the house by inviting the baseball team over for pizza and a movie.

“Especially in the beginning, the goal is to help your child feel comfortable socializing and make it a positive experience,” Dr. Eastman says.
Don’t avoid the problem

If social situations are difficult for your child, you might rather avoid or ignore the problem. But your child won’t learn to improve their relationships by always sitting at home with you. Dr. Eastman recommends gradually pushing a shy child slightly beyond their comfort zone into new situations, with gentle coaching and encouragement.

“Don’t throw them off the diving board, but ease them toward the deep end,” she says.
Don’t compare your child to yourself or other siblings

Be realistic about your child’s unique personality and temperament, which guides how much social interaction they seek. Just because you have dozens of friends doesn’t mean your child will, too. It doesn’t necessarily mean there is a problem. Some introverted children make a few really good friends instead of having many more casual friendships.
