Two-thirds of participants improved! Four rules to overcome insomnia after the New Year
Hello, this is Shimoyama.
The New Year moodis still continuing
for those who are thinking,“I feel tired every day.”
Some people even start the new yearwith a state similar to insomnia.
It seems thatsome people do.
It’s tough, isn’t it.
You have to sleep, but you can’t fall asleep,
the more you think about trying to sleep,the more anxious you become.
and you end up not being able to sleep at all...
Most people probably know from experiencethe pain of not being able to sleep.
If you can’t sleep for a day or two,
you can endure it, but
when it lasts for several days,it’s really tough.
So, if you have developed insomnia,what is the right way to deal with it?
Many people may consider taking medicine,but
going to a hospital is also bothersome,
and if possible, you’d want to avoid medicine.
There are side effects as well...
In fact,there are insomnia remediesthat do not rely on drugs,
revealed by a study from the University of Pittsburgh.
According to that study,
it was reported that,“by following four rules, insomnia can be resolved.”
What are the rules…?
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
1 Wake up at the same time every morning
2 Do not lie in bed until you feel sleepy
3 If you can’t sleep, don’t force yourself to sleep
4 Reduce the time spent in bed
The results were notable.
Two-thirds of the participants reported an improvement in sleep quality,and
more than half felt their insomnia symptoms had disappeared.
Among those who saw symptom improvement,three-quarters
maintained that effect for about six months.

Not everyone’s insomnia was
improved.
But since two-thirds of people improved,
there is enough value to try.
If you are troubled by insomnia,
why not consciously follow these four rules?
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Unrewarded effort
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
By the way,the four rules above
were introduced in the book
SIMPLE RULES,
advocates the effectiveness of following simple rules.
Sometimes,we tend to overcomplicate things.
When a problem arises,
we think of this and that,and thrash about with various countermeasures,floundering.
We end upmaking rules more complex
and being ruled by wasted movements.
But that is evidence that you are not seeing the essence clearly.
If you clearly see the essence,
you can view things simplyand
the rules you should follow will become naturally simple.
In the world of investing,many people
fail to discern the essence of investment,
believing that to win you must wield complex and difficult theories.
Andthey think so,
or perhaps they are being made to think so,which may be more accurate.
Anyway,many people suffer trying to follow various, wildly complex rules
and analysis day after day.
Moreover,that effort often doesn’t pay off.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
The more simplified the rules, the greater the profit.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
So, one thing I want to say loudly.
The more simplified the rules, the higher the profit.
The more complex the rules,
the more you might feel like you can win,
but that feeling is not reliable.
However,the people who truly win in investing
understand the essence,
so the rules to follow are astonishingly simple.
If you have been reading our newsletter,you probably know that
the rules taught in the Stock Academy are
extremely simple.
1 One stock to invest in
2 Divide your funds into five parts
3 Hold both long and short positions with margin trading
4 It is a no-go to hold five long positions or five short positions
5 If you hold multiple positions in the same direction, space them out
There are other rules for stock selection,
and there are also other detailed techniques, but
the basic trading rules are as above.
Many people say,“There is no way to win by following such simple rules.”
But,
it is precisely because these rules are so simple that when you adhere to them perfectly, profits arise.
For those who cannot stick to the rules,consider reevaluating the rules.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
The principle is: “If you change, do it all at once.”
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
However,if you are truly going to throw away your old rules
and try new ones,
one caution is necessary.
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
If you act slowly,
you will inevitably hesitate,
and between old and new rules you will
be stuck and unable to move.

As one would expect,
“change everything at once” is the iron rule.
If you start thinking, “the previous rules were like this,”or
you begin to consider new rules,it becomes difficult to adhere to the new rules.
In the end you waver and incur losses.
Therefore,when changing rules,
make a thorough change.
Some people try to pick the best parts of multiple methods,
but
first, concentrate on mastering one method.
Thank you for reading until the end today as well.
Thank you for watching until the end.
