Diet Diet is very important for a good sleep. Caffeinated beverages tend to increase anxiety in most people and therefore should be avoided. Do not drink tea, coffee, or any other caffeinated beverages for at least 6 hours before going to bed. How Acupressure Works Stimulation of active points is thought to lead to increased release of endorphins. Endorphin is a natural body painkiller. Endorphin and morphine are chemically different molecules but, by coincidence, they have very similar 3-dimensional shape. This similarity in shape allows morphine to bind the endorphin receptor, reduce pain, and induce feeling of happiness. Thus endorphin released by acupressure stimulation may lead to relaxation and normalization of body functions. Note: the trial version only shows two acupressure points. Note: You do not need to uninstall the trial version, the full version will overwrite the trial software. |
