Stress-Related Insomnia

Another factor in poor sleep is, of course, stress. You know the feeling. You ly down, tired from a hard day at work, and the thing you want most is to drift away into peaceful slumber and forget the cares of the day. But what happens?

You can't get your mind to SHUT UP! You toss, turn, maybe even get up and eat something just to have something to do (which further prevents good sleep because then your energetic system has to go to work digesting instead of regenerating and cleansing your body, which is what it wants to do while you sleep!).

What's the anwwer? Well, many turn to prescription sleep aids, only to find that they feel hung over and dull-headed the next day and/or that they need more and more over time to get the same result. Also, many find that their dreams stop. Dreaming is one way we work out the issues of the day and many prescription sleeping pills impede this vital healing capacity. But you have got to get sleep so what do you do?

Try the natural approach. Try a formula that supports your body's need to destress, turn off the mind, and drift into the peaceful slumber you desire without sacrificing your clear head in the morning, or your dreamtime at night.

Sleep Experts suggest keeping your bedroom quiet, dark and at a comfortable temperature. It is helpful to go to bed near the same time every night. Meditation is good before bed but exercise is not. Reading can be ok if it's not something that is work-related and apt to add more stress. Study is definitely out. And if you can't go to sleep after 15-20 minutes, it's better to get up for a little while and try again than to toss and turn and try to make yourself sleep.
