What are natural sleep remedies?

The fight with lack of sleep can really leave you drained and exhausted. The first thing most people do at this time is popping some sleeping pills just to be able to close their eyes for a few hours.

Medical researched has recently shown that is the wrong approach. Yes, for the short term it might work, however if continued, the side-effects are worse. You can pop a pill if your lack of sleep is due to something ‘once off’, like a particular problem that you’re struggling with, and your sleep returns to normal after a few hard nights. However it is easy to discern between true lack of sleep and a sporadic change in your life that warrants that acute insomnia.

If you do notice that your lack of sleep is returning, or not going away, sleeping pills are not the solution here. They mostly treat the symptom, but don’t tackle the cause of your insomnia.

It seems that the wealthier a person is, the better chances to become an insomniac.
Apparently it is remarkable how little complains one hears in hospitals from the poorer classes.
One of the results the study came to was that one reason for this poor vs rich shift is that poor are less haunted by such problems as overfeeding, inertia, idleness, self-absorption and ennui.

Lack of sleep in one form or another,  accompanies nearly every illness, but it occurs also in entirely healthy people. In the majority of cases it is a state of mind originated in fear and apprehension. Frequently, however, it can also have an immediate physical cause, such as indigestion, or toothache.

Maybe one of the most acute problems that cause insomnia is indigestion. People often ignore it, thus failing to cure their lack of sleep right from the start. Read the rest of this entry »
