Get Rid of Insomnia!


	Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects people of all ages without gender or age distinction. There are also different types of insomniacs – there are some who just can’t sleep even if it is night and all lights are off, some who simply keep getting up during the night and some who find it tough to go back to sleep once they get up really early in the morning. Whatever the reason, the result is that the person suffers due to lack of sufficient sleep and the body and mind become lethargic. This is because they are missing out on nature’s method of recharging and revitalizing the body. Although there are several different degrees of insomnia, three types of insomnia have been clearly identified: transient, acute, and chronic. Transient insomnia lasts from days to weeks. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, severe depression, or by stress. Its consequences - sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance - are similar to those of sleep deprivation. Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of between three weeks to six months. Chronic insomnia lasts for years at a time. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include sleepiness, muscular fatigue, hallucinations, and/or mental fatigue; but people with chronic insomnia often show increased alertness. Some people that live with this disorder see things as though they were happening in slow motion, whereas moving objects seem to blend together. Can cause double vision.
	Tried and tested method is of course that of proper diet and exercise. This is the absolutely natural method which you should try out first. This is not to say that you eat nothing but greens and sprouts and jump on to the treadmill. It is just that you take care of what you eat and also getting some exercise during the day. A few lifestyle adjustments and changes and you begin to sleep like a baby! A few weeks of this diet and exercise routine and lethargy is a thing of the past! One important aspect of diet is reading food labels carefully. Most foods bought in the shop have hidden fats and trans fats that cause a lot of problems. Sugar, sodium and caffeine can also cause sleep related problems. Cut down consumption of these especially at night and see the dramatic improvement in your sleep patterns. This does not mean that you cut down totally on sweets or coffee and tea. Just that you take them in moderation and definitely avoid them before going to bed. Exercise plays a very important part in getting rid of insomnia. A proper exercise session would see your heartbeat go up for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Importantly, you have to enjoy what you are doing, whatever form of exercise you decide upon or you might give up half way! You will become so spent that you will jump into bed and sleep immediately. You have expended your energy and this makes you tired at night. You have stopped consuming foods that interfere with your sleep and it is all making you feel so good because you have done it without the help of sleep inducing drugs.
