What would you do when you can’t fall asleep for the night or worse, for a few nights?

Indeed, you’ll feel awful and grouchy if you lose sleep the whole night. Thanks to the invention of sleeping pills – you hit the sack and sleep like a log throughout the night.

So you start taking drugs, thinking you found a remedy for your insomnia? No, do not depend entirely on sleep medications as they can create undesirable side effects while temporarily inducing sleep.

To cure insomnia, you just need some natural remedies. In fact, start by analyzing your lifestyle, as they may be the cause of your insomnia. Once you change some of your habits, you’ll nip your sleepless problem in the bud.

Now, try out these simple natural insomnia remedies, which aim to change your habits to make you sleep better at bedtime. They work best for you if your sleep problem is not sparked by the side effects from other medications you’re undertaking.

1. Reserve your bedroom for TWO things only – sleep and sex. In other words, avoid eating, working, computers, TV, video or loud music in the bedroom.

2. Create a clean and comfy environment for slumbering – soft lights, good ventilation, appropriate room temperature, good support pillows, and sufficient comforters.

3. Taking a relaxing warm bath before bedtime can lower your body temperature thereby helps to induce sleep. Soaking your feet in a tub of warm water before bedtime can achieve similar effect. Certain aromatherapy oil can enhance calming effect, provided you like the smell.

4. Avoid caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea, soft drinks or chocolate drink and / or cigarettes after 7pm in the evening. Also avoid snacking just before slumber time so that your body can fully focus on making you sleep instead of having to partially work on the food you send to your stomach.

5. Turn off your cell phone (its radiation can upset your normal sleep pattern), blackberries, MSN or Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ etc after a certain time at night.

6. Sleep inducers such as soy milk, whole grain, certain seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds) and nuts (walnuts, cashews, almonds, pecans, peanuts) help your brain to relax. Drink a glass of milk or calming herbal tea with a handful of whole-wheat crackers before bedtime. But remember not to overeat those foods and do visit the bathroom right before sack time so that you won’t have to drag yourself up in the mid of your sweet dream (I hate that!).

7. If you cannot conk out after half an hour in bed, get up and listen to some soothing music, or read a book (but avoid stimulating or exciting content such as horrors and thrillers). Use warm tungsten reading lamp instead of fluorescent lamp. Avoid watching TV or DVDs as the light from these devices are bright and will interfere with your body’s biological clock, worsening your sleepless condition. Return to bed as soon as you feel sleepy.

8. Regular exercise relieves tension, thereby aiding sleep. But try not to work out before sleeptime as it may keep you awake.

9. Train your body to sleep and wake up at the same time every day regardless of whether it is weekend or public holiday. Setting a regular sleep routine helps your body and brain get used to falling asleep naturally at a fixed time each day. The ideal time to hit the hay is between 9 to 11pm so as to achieve better sleep quality.

10. If you need to snooze during the day, try to keep it within 20 – 30 minutes that is sufficient to charge you up. Napping too long may result in dizzy mind, which can adversely affect your productivity as well as your nocturnal sleep.

11. If you’re working at home, stop work at least two hours before turning in to allow your mind to unwind and relax.

12. Improve your diet by reducing meat intake and eating more fruits and vegetables such as berries, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and cereals. These natural goodies help to revitalize your body and help to keep your sleeping mechanism function properly with less “glitches”.

I would also recommend an amazing sleep-inducing fruit – Kiwi.

Packed with abundant vitamins (especially vitamin C), minerals (including calcium, potassium, magnesium) and dietary fiber, you should eat them more often and not only for insomnia problem.

Among the nutrients in kiwi, calcium is the one helping you to relax, which isn’t found in many fruits. But be prepared that you’ll only feel the effect after a few weeks of eating 2 kiwis each night.

How about taking calcium supplements? As with all artificially extracted supplements, they bring some adverse conditions. I reckon you do not want to add more toll on your health with those side effects.

Kiwi’s effect too slow for you? Think about this – eating two per night replenishes you with so much nutrition and makes you sleep better naturally in the long run. Isn’t this an easy deal?

Sleeping pill or natural cure for insomnia? Make your choice.

We often call an event or an action to be abnormal when it is the usual way or it goes beyond the qualifications and boundaries of normality. Although it is quite easy to determine a normal from an abnormal one it is difficult to explain why such circumstances occur. Persons with sleeping disorders are often expected to have abnormal patterns of sleep. It commonly affects their mood and perception of the things around them. There are certain senses of their body that manifests the signs of damage because of their inability to maintain a sleeping pattern.

Sleeping is very much essential in the development f the body especially for toddlers. Kids must have an average of eight to ten hours of sleep a day while, adults are expected to settle with six to eight hours of daily sleep. When a person sleeps thoroughly he or she can fully relax his or her body. Sleeping is good for the entire system of the body because the cells can do their tasks without spending too much energy.

Doctors often advised their patients to maintain a regular diet because it can help them have healthy sleep patterns. Nowadays, the problems about sleeping disorders are highly increasing. An abnormal pattern of sleep can affect the performance and the behavior of a person. A person with less sleep is easily annoyed and commonly has a poor tolerance in terms of patience.

There are two basic reasons why a person experiences a sleeping disorder such as insomnia. Insomnia generally has the characteristics of staying awake late at night. Insomnia does not constantly occur each night. It usually occurs when there is an abnormal event that has affected your whole senses. A person with sleeping disorder such as insomnia can no longer control his or her sleep patterns. It is impossible for a person with insomnia to go to bed even if his or her body is already tired and eager enough to sleep.

The two basic reasons why a person suffers from insomnia can be solved using the psychological and physiological condition of a person. Both can be the good source to trace the reasons of sleeping disorders of a person. Each of these fields has its own set of basis where the possible factors are synthesized to further explain the reasons of insomnia.

The psychological field basically focuses on the behavior of a person. Psychologists believe that abnormal behaviors are caused by the inability of the brain to face the pressure and the demands of the real world. A bothered person is often prone to have insomnia. Once a person constantly thinks of his or problems it hinders his or her mind to rest.

Meanwhile the physiological field pays more attention on the physiological condition of a person. A malnourished person is more prone to experience insomnia because his or her body does not get the enough nutrients for the body to relax. The cell inside a malnourished body does not stop from doing its tasks because it does not get the enough nutrients that will sustain the needs of the body.
