WHAT IS INSOMNIA?

A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF INSOMNIA

INSOMNIA… the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep once in the dream state

The number of hours a person is able to sleep, or how long it takes to fall asleep, does not define insomnia. Each individual will vary in his or her need for sleep. Insomnia is the perception or complaint of inadequate or poor-quality sleep due to:

• The difficulty or inability to fall asleep.
  
• Waking up frequently during the night and struggling to return to sleep.
  
• Waking up too early in the morning still feeling tired.
  
• Feeling un-rested after what should have been a good night's sleep.

Insomnia can be classified as:
Transient insomnia
Short term, lasting from one night to a few weeks.

Intermittent insomnia
Occurring from time to time.

Chronic insomnia
Constant, or lasting most nights for many months or more.

WHAT CAUSES INSOMNIA?

Although women, the elderly, and those with a history of depression tend to be more predisposed than others, there are a number of things that can lead to insomnia.

Transient and intermittent insomnia occur in people who are temporarily experiencing one or more of the following:

• Stress, anxiety, or other medical condition.
  
• Changes in environmental surroundings, such as noise or extreme temperatures.
  
• Sleep/wake schedule challenges such as with shift work or traveling.
  
• The use and side effects of medication.
  
• Substance abuse such as alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine.

Although it is more complex, chronic insomnia can simply be the result of a combination of factors including; underlying chronic physical or mental disorders, genetic makeup, and hormonal fluctuations (in women). But more often than not, chronic insomnia is caused by chronic stress, depression, or behavioural factors, including the misuse of caffeine, alcohol, or other substances.

Even diet, particularly if one is sensitive to fluctuations in blood sugar, can greatly affect a person's ability to fall asleep, and remain sleeping soundly throughout the night.

IMPLICATIONS OF IMSOMNIA

More than a minor inconvenience, failing to get enough sleep causes malaise, poor concentration, moodiness, ill health, and accidental deaths

The true impact of insomnia on quality of life is probably impossible to calculate, but that there is human suffering as a result of sleep problems is beyond question.

While short-term insomnia may be of little consequence, prolonged lack of sleep can impair memory and judgment, cause irritability and other mood disorders, interfere with concentration, make it difficult to learn new things or perform daily tasks, and reduce the ability of the immune system to prevent illness.

• Since the human body does most of its repair work at night, such as healing wounds and fighting off infection, there can be serious health implications as a result of not getting enough sleep.
  
• People suffering from insomnia often wake up tired, suffering from morning headaches, daytime fatigue, and muscle pain. They may not be as productive at work or school and can become frustrated because they just can't seem to get things done.

D.G. Barstow states in the Gale Encyclopaedia of Medicine (1999) that, by not getting enough sleep, you increase the risk of injury at both home and work, and even when commuting between the two.

Sleepy automobile drivers are responsible for more than 300,000 car accidents annually, many of them fatal. These accidents account for at least ten percent of all accidents reported (Graves, 1998).

True, not all insomnia sufferers have the same experience,
but why take the chance?

TREATMENT OF INSOMNIA

Experts suggest consulting a physician as the first step in dealing with insomnia or any other destructive sleep pattern. There's an arsenal of prescription and over the counter products that can be recommended, any one of which may put you to sleep. Drugs however, are often addictive, and tend to leave you over-tired and sluggish in the morning. Drugs treat dysfunction (symptom) only, not the disorder itself, and falling asleep because you can't avoid it often leaves you feeling dependent and powerless, which can simply add to the problems already experienced by an insomniac.

Sleeping pills are not the only treatment for insomnia. In most cases, the use of sleeping pills is not beneficial at all. Sleeping pills can only be used to help treat transient insomnia and cannot be used to treat chronic insomnia.

Therapies are most effective as an alternative to sleeping pills, and today there are many safe and natural options available without the undesirable side effects associated with the use of drugs.

"The best way to treat Insomnia is by correcting
the imbalances and impurities in the body."

DreamEasyHerbal Sleep Aid, when taken as directed, helps correct these imbalances and impurities naturally… one capsule twice daily with plenty of water.

More than 60 million Americans, suffer the debilitating effects of insomnia, yet many ignore the problem. Studies show that people who suffer from insomnia typically wait about twelve years before they seek help. They feel that sleep problems are a part of life, and that it's something they need to endure, or be able to solve on their own. More than half of people suffering from chronic insomnia never even talk with a health professional about their inability to get a good night of sleep.

We now understand the causes of sleep disorders much better than in the past and we have improved treatments available. So if you are concerned about whether your physician can help, be reassured, they are far better equipped to help you get your sleep patterns back on track than ever before.

While there are many treatment options available, it's often hard to decide when poor and inadequate sleep needs attention…
