Lack of sleep

We have an amazingly balanced machine as bodies. From birth, this balance exists between us and our environment. Sadly, not many know what to do to maintain this balance throughout our lifetime. For example, when we breath in the polluted air and eat the wrong foods, we do not do ourselves any service, and lack of sleep is a major result of all these. Even more so is dehydration, which can use anything between all sorts of pains and chronic lack of sleep, or insomnia.

Lack of sleep comes in various forms, but if you strip it down to the bares, it really means being unable to sleep or rest for more than a little at a time. Whoever has ever struggled with it, knows how frustrating and debilitating this can be. What many don’t realise is that a very valid cause of this can be dehydration. It is actually something that people do not associate typically with insomnia at all, however drinking enough water to bring out out of the dehydrated state might just be the cure to ones lack of sleep.

But how much water should one drink daily? We are over 90% water, so any lack of it in our body will cause some serious problems. On average, one needs to need to drink one half of ones body weight every day in ounces of water.  For example, a 200 pound man will have to drink 100 ounces of water. This might seem like a lot, however it can easily be done by only drinking five 20 ounce bottles of water throughout the day. Do it this way: drink one bottle when you get up, one before you go to bed and spread the other three out through the day.

Also natural sea salt should be present in our body in an amount that ensures that the water will stay in the body long enough for hydrating us. What you could do is  take just a pinch of salt every time you drink water.  If you feel you start to swell a bit, cut back on the amount of salt and you will notice that the swelling will go away quickly.

It is amazing how many times people are trying all sorts of overcomplicated procedurs and cures, while completely ignoring the basics. You’d would be surprised with how often dehydration is at the root of insomnia problems and how often it’s curable just like that.
