Reversing the Epidemic of Insomnia
Tip! sleep and wake up at the same time everyday, even during the weekends. Some insomniacs try to sleep at any time of the day to catch up on some sleep they lost at night.
Reversing the Epidemic of Insomnia
Climbing into bed with a tired body but a not so tired mind is the way of life for many people every night. Some people dread even going to bed for fear of a repeat of the restless tossing and turning they’ve experienced in past nights. Of course most of the time history repeats itself because where you focus your thoughts is exactly what shows up for you. Do you find yourself raiding the refrigerator or turning on the TV to pass time as you prowl your quiet house while everyone else enjoys the sleep zone? Or do you simply get up and do more work? After all, why waste the time so at least you can be productive if you aren’t sleeping. Then the morning requires some stiff coffee or other stimulants to get you moving. Does this describe you?

If so, then join the many thousands of insomniacs that are begging for relief from the zombie existence they now experience. In a recent article I read it stated that over 42 million prescriptions for sleeping pills were filled in 2005. That’s a bunch! As a co-owner of a health store I frequently am asked for natural remedies to help in the area of sleep. So this phenomena is wide-spread it seems.
I have also experienced severe insomnia in past years and even now have times when sleep doesn’t seem to be on the agenda even though I want it to be. Occasional episodes of sleeplessness can happen to everyone at times. But because of this personal history I’ve searched for ways to calm myself down so I can sleep on those few nights when sleep evades me. It’s really frustrating when the person laying beside you is asleep almost the moment the head hits the pillow, but you’re still counting sheep and have reached four digit numbers, isn’t it?
It is amazing how we gain expertise in the areas for which we have concerns. The issues that bug us often bug many others, and as one uncovers a solution or at the very least some guidelines, they find that hundreds or even thousands of others can also benefit from their discovery. Isn’t that how all of life operates? One person experiences an issue, learns from it, passes through it and becomes stronger and wiser. If this person willingly shares the findings of their journey, many can benefit. So I see there is a gift in every single problem, no matter how big or how small. If I hadn’t experienced years of sleeping problems along with multiple health issues, I wouldn’t have researched and gathered the following information from personal experience. I feel personal discovery through experience, rather than book knowledge, is the way to uncover most truth.
Tip! Get Some Exercise During The Day - White collar workers (office workers, non-manual workers) are more known to have insomnia than blue-collar workers, who get physical exercise during their work. 15 Minutes of exercise or at least 30 minutes before going to bed will give your body work and oxygen it needs to get your body to relax and sleep better.
Most health practitioners agree that getting enough sleep is vital. Sleep time is also repair time. Your body does most of its repairing as it rests, so without enough sleep your body will continue to break down, leading to illness and disease. In our fast-paced, production-driven society, many find it impossible to shut off their mental chatter to sleep. For many even their breathing is shallow and rushed so that their body isn’t receiving enough oxygen. That in itself wears down your health and definitely ages you faster! Most people are living through fear - to produce enough, be better than the next person, exceed by giving longer hours or more sales, or make that all-important great impression on the boss - so their life runs on nervous, overdrawn energy that continually depletes them of their life force. Perhaps this fits you.
Tip! Transient insomnia is just a temporary sleep problem lasting a few days or even a couple of weeks.
So let’s go back to the need for sleep. Your body really needs about 7 or 8 hours of good sleep every night to do its repair work and refresh you for the next day. Not only this, but if you don’t get enough sleep your metabolism and hormones will get out of whack which makes it hard for your body to process glucose in the blood. This requires that your body produce 30% more insulin to process your food, and this predisposes you to weight gain and other health concerns. Without enough sleep a chain reaction begins that continually spirals you downward into lesser health. You may know this already but try as you might you cannot sleep that many hours.

The biggest culprit that causes sleep disorders is stress. Stress is known to be a killer; even the medical profession now recognizes this fact. But the typical medical professional’s answer is to provide a prescription drug to help you sleep. While this gives temporary relief, and may be beneficial in some cases, there are always side effects that are not optimal for good health. And prescription drugs for sleep
can often become addictive, which is never a good thing. So what do you do when you hear the clock chime almost every hour of the night?
Tip! For Exogenous Insomnia, make the room as quiet as possible. If your partner snores, you can move to another room.
The first thing to do is reduce your stress. Easier said than done, right? Actually it’s not hard to do once you understand the basic principle of life. Life happens. There is a continuous ebb and flow in life over which you have no control. But humans thrive on control for the most part, so if things happen that alter your plans, you get angry. (frustrated, stressed, all the same reaction) Or perhaps you find yourself saying “yes” when you really want to say “no.” You are living through other people’s expectations and so continually strive to be a super person to fulfill those expectations, or are actually going against what you really want to do. What’s the end result? Stress.
Tip! For Endogenous Insomnia, you should eliminate the discomfort to the best of your ability.
Here’s how I view life. I believe there is a Higher Power (God) over the universe. I also believe that everything that comes my way has a purpose, or a reason for it to be as it is. I may not like it or may not have expected it, but in hindsight I always see why it came. So knowing this up front - that everything flows in divine order and has a purpose, why worry? Anger over a change of events or becoming upset for something over which you have no control serves no purpose; you can’t change the happening, only your response to it! So becoming angry or worrying creates a stressful state that gains nothing, but it might make you sick. The anger or worry doesn’t fix the problem so it has no benefit. Therefore, I do not accept stress into my life. I simply go with the flow and accept it as it is. Then I await the solution, which always comes easily when I surrender my will.
Tip! The root solution for insomnia.
But even if you haven’t reached this state as yet, here are some do’s and don’ts that could very well help you if you are having trouble sleeping.
