TREAT INSOMNIA NATURALLY

Treat insomnia naturally

Stress is an unavoidable factor in today's busy lifestyle. It is not surprising that even small children are stressed today.

All kinds of negative emotions like stress, anxiety, worry, etc. Lead to hyper stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. And you cannot go to sleep with overstimulated nerves. This is the reason for a steep rise in the incidences of sleep disorders, with insomnia being the most prominent type. It is not surprising that more than 30% of the adult population across the world experiences insomnia.

Causes for insomnia

  • Stress is the major cause of insomnia as it disrupts the nervous and hormonal balance inside the body. Because of stress-related mental hyperactivity, a person may find it hard to relax and go to sleep.
  • Night shifts, late-night work, random sleep cycle, etc. Also disturbs the natural circadian rhythm of a person.
  • Another cause of insomnia is jet lag. People who frequently travel across timelines also face insomnia because of a disrupted sleep-wake cycle.
  • Excessive exposure to electronic gadgets like mobile phones, TV, computers, etc., esp. after the sunset, prevents the natural unwinding of our mind and body, hence the result - insomnia.
  • Heavy meals late in the night, esp. consumption of sugary foods after the sunset, spikes nervous activity and prevent the onset of metabolic sleep mode.
  • Medications like anti-depressants, weight loss products, medicines for pain, asthma, allergy, or cold may also interfere with sleep.
  • Anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, OCD, epilepsy or similar medical conditions may prevent natural relaxation and thus, sleep. Other disorders like sleep apnea may disrupt your breathing while sleep and prevent a relaxed deep sleep.
  • Stimulants like nicotine, caffeine, or aerated drinks also activate the nervous system so that the body is not able to get into a sleep mode. Alcohol consumption may initially put you to sleep. However, it prevents you from deep stages of sleep and sleeps endowed tissue rejuvenation.
  • There is natural insomnia with aging. It occurs in most people above the age of 60 years and is not considered serious or pathological in its mild form.

Prevention for insomnia

Whether you are suffering from insomnia or not, good dietary and lifestyle habits are always helpful. If you are not an insomniac, you will never become one. If you are suffering from insomnia, good health practices may help to prevent disease aggravation. They may also help you to reverse the disorder and regain health.

  • Exercise every day. Exercise releases feel-good hormones that promote sleep.
  • Maintain a regular meal and sleep cycle.
  • Avoid eating late-night meals or sugary stuff after sunset.
  • Avoid sleeping during the daytime.
  • Avoid intake of stimulants like nicotine etc. after sunset.
  • Avoid exposure to electronic gadgets after the evening.
  • Create a bedtime ritual, for example, bedtime bath, etc.
  • Try before-bed meditation and mindfulness for stress relief.

Modern medicine for insomnia

Modern medicine mostly uses sedatives-hypnotics for insomnia. Barbiturates are the most commonly used chemicals in this class. However, they do not treat insomnia permanently but only provide a transient symptomatic relief. However, the side effects of most sleeping pills are significant over the long term. They can even be fatal in overdose.

Therefore, synthetic medications are not the permanent solution to insomnia. Instead of treating the primary disorders, these sleeping pills can spill over many more diseases.
