Cures For
Insomnia
Most people, when they have trouble sleeping, begin to turn in
bed and "seeking the dream." The problem is that the
more effort we make to sleep, the more we worry about our inability
to sleep and we find it harder to fall asleep / as. Indeed, we
have conditioned to have difficulty sleeping.
For most people the ritual before going to bed that consists of
activities such as washing the mouth, remove the covers, turn
off the light served as a message to our brain to relax and put
us sleepy. In people who have been conditioned to having sleep
problems, the contrary prior to bedtime activities are rather
a signal that tells the brain to prepare for a long and frustrating
battle.
In these cases, follow these simple tips may be all we need to
break this vicious circle and once again enjoy a pleasant dream.
Go to bed at the same time every day and go to bed only when
sleepy.
Exercise regularly, but do not do it near bedtime. Leave at least
five hours between exercise and bedtime.
Eliminate or reduce caffeine and smoking. Almost everyone knows
that caffeine makes it difficult to sleep, what many do not realize
is that smoking near bedtime can disrupt sleep and cause us to
wake up several times at night . Studies have shown that smokers
show a decrease from the deepest stage of sleep, ie one in which
delta waves predominate. Smoking also causes congestion in the
airways and inflammation on mucous membranes. This makes the air
flow is impeded, causing problems similar to those of sleep apnea.
Avoid turning to alcohol as a remedy for insomnia. Many people
use alcohol as a sleep aid. However this may be counterproductive.
Alcohol can certainly make us but later we sleep at night, as
the body was metabolized, it becomes substances called aldehydes
that make the dream become unstable. Even worse alcohol suppresses
REM sleep than as we have said is of great importance for the
processing and memory consolidation.
Avoid eating too much before bedtime. The digestive process can
interfere with sleep.
Take your vitamins. Several studies have shown that different
sleep problems can are linked to deficiencies in the B complex,
calcium, copper, zinc, iron and magnesium.
Do not sleep on other days you do not have to go to work. Some
people use the weekends to sleep or stay in bed until almost noon.
The result is an alteration of biological rhythms. On the other
hand if you need eight hours sleep and is forced to sleep ten
or eleven his sleep will be shallow and wake up with less energy
than if he had slept less. The only circumstance under which it
is healthy to stretch the period of sleep is when we are recovering
from a period of lack of sleep.
Do not use bedtime to think about their problems.
If you feel tense use relaxation techniques, deep breathing,
yoga, massage or gentle instrumental music for relaxation.
Try some natural remedies. Valerian root is an excellent mild
relaxant that helps many people sleep and that contrary to some
commonly prescribed drugs for insomnia, do not interfere with
REM sleep and leaves the person in a state of drowsiness upon
awakening. However valerian should not be used for more than three
weeks running. In some people it can cause headaches or upset
stomach. Other natural remedies that can help are the cataria
(Catnip), chamomile, and skullcap (skullcap). For these and other
natural remedies is advisable to consult a naturopath or naturopathic
doctor properly licensed.
Try melatonin, but carefully. Some people find it helpful to
sleep, however there are cases of people who, on the contrary,
he disrupts sleep. There is at present considerable confusion
as to the usefulness and appropriateness of melatonin. Therefore
it is advisable to consult a health professional (naturopath,
medical doctor or naturopathic) versed in the subject.
Use the bedroom only for sleep and sex. This will automatically
relax upon entering.
If after about 20 minutes to fall asleep can not / do not start
to roll over in bed. The tossing and turning in bed all that accomplishes
is to increase the association between the act of going to bed
and sleep problems. Better get up and do something boring. Return
to bed only when sleepy.
Also be careful with sleep medications. Many of these may help
temporarily but after a few weeks or at most a few months, lose
their effectiveness. Even worse if they continue to use can aggravate
insomnia causing what is known as "rebound insomnia".
If at this stage seek to suspend the problem is further exacerbated.
The solution is to reduce the dose gradually over several weeks.
This should be done preferably under medical supervision.
