5 Guaranteed Solutions for Your Insomnia

The sleep disorder Insomnia either means you have trouble falling asleep or you have trouble staying asleep. It can have a negative effect on your concentration and memory, and as I've experienced in my past struggles as an insomniac, you can become quite accident prone no matter what you may be doing during the day! So what are some things that you can do to overcome Insomnia that have worked incredibly well for me? Here they are:

Avoid violent or emotional stimulation before bed - There is nothing relaxing about watching TV, reading the news or anything like that before bed time. At least one hour before sleep, everything stimulating should be turned off.

Get some Binaural Beats on your headphones before sleep - It was interesting for me to learn that people who suffer from insomnia have a difficult time hitting certain lower brainwaves. Sleep = a time when the brain is LEAST active, and binaural beats begin altering your brainwaves and slowing them without the use of any harmful chemicals - double bonus!

Check The Time - 6.5 to 7.5 hours is the ideal amount of time needed for a good night's sleep, no less and no more. Planning for this is key, so make sure you get to bed at a proper and CONSISTENT time each night so your body knows it's time to wind down once that time approaches. Keep this schedule, even on weekends and holidays.

No more late night meals - A small healthy late night snack is OK, but using common sense is key here. A large meal needs to be digested, and your organs will have to work hard all night causing less restful sleep.

Valerian Root to the rescue! - A fabulous mild relaxant that worked better for me then any benzodiazepines did, without that awful hangover feeling. Check your local health food store for this magical herbal remedy.
