has anyone got any great remedies for sleep insomnia?

Answer 1

Inability to go to sleep or to get sleep for a period insufficient for the needs of an individual is known as insomnia. None of us can do without sleep. An infant sleeps 14 to 18 hours a day. This period is slowly reduced. An adult may be happy with 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. There are people who require 5 hours or even 4 hours of sleep in 24 hours.

HOME REMEDIES FOR INSOMNIA
* It may be good, however, not to overload the stomach with food before going to sleep. A heavy meal disturbs sleep.
* A bath before going to bed is of positive help and so is exercise in the afternoon.
* In order to get good sleep taking a cup of hot milk before going to bed is a useful habit.
* Late nights affect health most adversely because, after 10:30 p.m., the body requires rest and sleep while a late dinner, social function or a musical evening running into morning hours disturb the sleep patterns which is most suitable to the human body.
* Stimulants brews like coffee or tea should be avoided in the late evening. Coffee after dinner has an adverse effect on sleep. Smoking of cigarettes also stimulates and thus keeps us awake.
* The sleeping environment should be as comfortable as possible, neither too hot nor too cold. Beds, which are too soft, are not conducive to sound sleep. The bed should be firm, hard and of a proper size.
* Drinking Kava kava a few hours before bedtime reduces stress, tension, anxiety and relaxes muscles. It helps to fall asleep deeper and to rest more.
* Prepare a mixture by adding1 tsp. chamomile flowers,1 tsp. Hops,1 tsp. valerian root and1 cup of boiling water. Steep for 45 minutes, strain and drink 1 hour before bedtime.
* Wake up at the same time everyday no matter when you got to sleep.
* Avoid high protein meals for dinner; instead try to take complex carbohydrates in the dinner.
* Drink a cup of warm milk with honey, nutmeg can also be added. The tryptophan in milk helps in sleeping.
* Thiamine or vitamin B is of special significance in the treatment of insomnia.
* Lettuce is beneficial in the treatment of insomnia as it contains a sleep-inducing substance, called 'lectucarium'. Boil one tablespoon of seeds in half a litre of water, till it is reduced by one-third. It is very useful in preventing insomnia.
* The patient should take plenty of curd and massage it on the head. This will induce sleep.
* The mixture of bottle gourd juice and sesame oil in 50:50 ratio acts as an effective medicine for insomnia.
* Prepare a tea by boiling about 375 ml of water in a vessel and adding a teaspoon of aniseed. The water should be covered with a lid and allowed to simmer for fifteen minutes. It should then be strained and drunk hot or warm. The tea may be sweetened with honey, and hot milk may also be added to it. This tea should be taken after meals or before going to bed.
* Honey is also an effective remedy to induce sleep. Two teaspoonful of honey should be mixed in warm water and taken before going to bed.
* Take 1 tsp juice of celery leaves with stalks and 1 tsp of honey.
* Have raw onion salad in the dinner.
* Take 2 tsp of fenugreek leaves juice with 1 tsp of honey at bed times daily
* Prepare a mixture by adding two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with one cup of honey and store this mixture in an airtight container. Take two spoonful of this mixture whenever necessary.
* Sleeping with your head pointing north can improve the quality of your sleep.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Answer 5

My friend Carol makes a calming tea that we call (drumroll) Carol's Sleepy Tea. It's basically chamomile, mullein, hops, catnip, and a little bit of mint. It's the best. I tried my first cup in the middle of the day and I was yawning within a few minutes. Usually it takes 20 minutes to put me out completely.

If you don't/can't blend your own teas, try anything with chamomile or mullein in it, but try to limit stimulating ingredients like cinnamon. They'll increase circulation and keep you alert. Great for finals, bad for 2:00 am.
