Of course, no joke. Where to have fun here, when sleep does not go, you stick in the ceiling until a deep night, and obsessive thoughts do not give rest?! So today we have a small historical excursion planned.
In the next blog, we discussed the topic of insomnia, where we talked about how you can get rid of that annoyance, following the hygiene and aesthetics of sleep. But naturally, the question arose, but how did people cope until the days when there was no IDEIA?
So we researched this issue a bit and talk about it on our website.
Shamans were the first helpers in the fight against insomnia. A tambourine in his hands, wild dances around a respectable visitor, shouting to drive away the spirits that interfere with sleep. So three or four sessions and the client asks to go home, because how to fall asleep under such a noise? A shaman, in his mind, believes that this is his tambourine. Rejoices, encourages new customers.
It lasted quite a long time. Until shamans were replaced by grandmothers / witches / witches, as they were called there… The profession changed polar sex. Now only respectable ladies talked to the spirits. And they flatly refused drums and dances. So what? The status is different, it is not necessary to arrange this hopping. They specialized more in herbs. Good, fertile land, generous with gifts. Here were the nuances. To pharmacists, grandmothers were like to Kiev crayfish. Therefore, the measurement of the active substance took place, as they say, "by eye". The drugs used to be so effective that the client fell asleep. You will not achieve. Then the scenario could be very different. But have you heard, yes, about the fire for witches? So, it went to different extremes. It all depended on how influential the client's relatives were.
Another ancient and quite effective way to get rid of insomnia was the principle of counting sheep. Here, in general, everything is simple. You do it yourself. You go to bed, close your eyes and imagine these cute animals. Next, how fantasy works. You can make them jump over the fence, you can just start in the barn, or some other tricks. But the main thing is to list each. Experienced people say that on 1589 sheep you will definitely fall asleep. Unless, of course, she rests on the ram and resists, not wanting to go inside.
In IDEIA they believe that it is better to stock up on good home textiles than to suffer like this and your sleep will definitely be strong. But it's up to you to decide.
