Insomnia
We would all like to have a good night's sleep but for some of us that is an elusive dream. Difficulty in going to sleep and remaining asleep is one of the common conditions that affect us all at sometime in our lives.
Spending our days in a hectic rush and it takes time to unwind at the end of a busy day.
Encouraging a peaceful night's sleep is to have a routine that fits in with your life, eating at least three to four hours prior to bed time is essential. A meal close to bedtime can be very unsettling and uncomfortable.
The reason for this is that the digestive track needs time to thoroughly digest the meal reducing the likelihood of a heartburn or reflux that may interfere with comfort when laying down to sleep.
Many people laud the wonders of a hot bath with a cup of Epsom salts to relax and relieve strains of the body. The use of scented oils may help relieving some of the stress.
Perhaps a massage, with soothing oil such as lavender prior to bedtime would help. Other natural herbal remedies are chamomile tea, valerian taken in pill form.
Your ability to sleep begins when you get up in the morning either rested or shattered from the night you have just spent in bed.
Of course, if you have had bad nights sleep your mind will dwell on that and a vicious circle starts. Stress is such that even the little details of your day become too hard to manage.
It is essential in following your bedtime routine you spend the last hour relaxing before going to be bed. Taking time to unwind completely, in whatever manner you prefer.
After all tomorrow is another day!
