Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep within an hour of going to bed, or it is awakening one or more times during the night; both include not getting back to sleep. Symptoms include sleeplessness, wakefulness, tiredness in the morning, snoring.<\/p>\n<p>Insomnia is found in those over the age of sixty more than others, affecting 40% of women and 25% of men. Causes include shift work, emotional and physical stresses, alcohol, diet (the foods you eat), eating too much, drinking fluids or taking stimulants too close to bed time, medication side effects, restless-leg syndrome, toxicity of the body, and even pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Modern medicine uses drugs to treat insomnia; they knock you out and are often addictive to some degree or another. Worse than this, the sleep is artificial and may affect your health eventually.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally we are meant to sleep up to eight hours nightly; everyone is different in the sleep they need. It is healthy to wake up at the same time every morning, and to go to bed at a reasonable time. One must condition the mind to sleep well. The bedroom is for sleep and sex only. Watch television, read, and do other things in other rooms. Avoid shift work as your body can\u2019t sleep when it should \u2013 at night.<\/p>\n<p>Sleeplessness is a sign of inner restlessness: time to do some inner cleansing. Other signs may include: emotion conflict, nerve weakness from worry, bad dreams, feverish diseases, stomach disturbances, fear of death, or high cholesterol. Many people get used to sleeplessness.<\/p>\n<p>The causation of physical factors can be the colon, bladder, fever, or cough. To help insomnia, take care of the cause. Take gentle walks, or use clay packs on the calves. Bathe in a lukewarm bath (a few drops of essential oils added).<\/p>\n<p>Magnesium, taken several times a day (up to loose stools) relaxes the muscles when there id physical muscle cramps, or restless legs or tight muscles.<\/p>\n<p>Before retiring to bed<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep water, or other fluid intake, to a minimum about four hours before bed. The same thing goes for caffeine, coffee, and black tea.<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol can make you drowsy and depresses the central nervous system, but causes restless sleep.<\/li>\n<li>Eat heavy meals at least two to three hours before bed.<\/li>\n<li>Electric blankets disturb the body\u2019s electrical system and are harmful to the immune system.<\/li>\n<li>Stay quiet and try not to pick fights with family members, or others, before bedtime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Herbs for Insomnia<\/h2>\n<p class=\"signupForm\" align=\"left\">Herbs are plants valued for their specific strengthening\/ tonifying properties.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Dave\u2019s Sleep Formula<\/strong> \u2013 herbs to calm nerves, heart, and mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave\u2019s Recovery<\/strong> \u2013 herbs for relaxing muscles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passion flower<\/strong> \u2013 calming nerves, to relax muscles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Oat extract<\/strong> \u2013 calm mind and nerves.<br \/>\nValerian \u2013 relax muscles and is nerve calmative, but works opposite for some people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hops<\/strong> \u2013 nerve sedative, helps when there is digestion.<\/p>\n<p>Make your own sleeping pillow &#8211; Make it of Hops flowers, Fern leaves (mail fern), Lavender, and Thyme.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" \/>\n<h2>Cell Salts to Help Insomnia<\/h2>\n<p class=\"signupForm\" align=\"left\">To make a <strong>cell salt solution<\/strong>, put up to 10 tablets of each cell salt in a 16- to 24-ounce bottle; fill with water and swirl to dissolve tablets.
