How to Fight Insomnia
#Avoid eating too much before bedtime. The digestive process can interfere with sleep.
#Take your vitamins. Several studies have shown that various problems can sleep are linked to deficiencies in the B complex, calcium, copper, zinc, iron and magnesium.
#Do not sleep on other days you do not have to go to work. Some people use the weekends to sleep or stay in bed until almost noon. The result is an alteration of biological rhythms.
On the other hand if you need eight hours of sleep and is forced to sleep ten or eleven his sleep will be shallow and wake up with less energy than if he had slept less.
The only circumstance under which it is healthy to stretch the period of sleep is when we are recovering from a period of lack of sleep.
#Do not use bedtime to think about their problems.
#If you feel tense use relaxation techniques, deep breathing, yoga, massage or gentle instrumental music for relaxation.
#Try some natural remedies. Valerian root is an excellent mild relaxant that helps many people sleep and that contrary to some commonly prescribed drugs for insomnia, do not interfere with REM sleep and not leave the person in a state of drowsiness upon awakening.
However valerian is not for more than three weeks in a row. In some people it can cause headaches or upset stomach. Other natural remedies that can be used are the cataria (Catnip), chamomile, and skullcap (skullcap). For these and other natural remedies is advisable to consult a naturopath or naturopathic doctor duly licensed.
#Try melatonin but carefully. Some people find it helps them sleep, but there are cases of people who, on the contrary, it disrupts sleep. There is at present considerable confusion as to the usefulness and appropriateness of melatonin. Therefore it is advisable to consult a health professional (naturopath, doctor or naturopathic physician) versed in the subject.
