Sleep

Sleep is defined as a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli. During sleep, the brain in humans and other mammals undergoes a characteristic cycle of brain-wave activity that includes intervals of dreaming (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sleep).

Sleep is “natural”, but that doesn’t make it easy.

Why?

We’re all bombarded daily with things that interfere with sleep; drugs, anxiety/worry, stress, disagreeable foods, environment, temperature, and so on. Sleep problems affect so many people that the pharmaceutical industry regularly creates new drugs to bring unconsciousness on their customers. I remind myself – and anyone else who will listen – that insomnia is not a drug deficiency.  It is a symptom.

Removing the cause of a sleep problem is far superior to masking it with a drug. Does placing tape over the gas gauge in your car make the problem of an empty gas tank go away? Of course not. Sleeping pills are like that tape over the gas gauge.

Our website offers numerous approaches to sleep problems. Please browse our pages and use some of the suggestions. If one thing doesn’t help right away try something else – or even do a couple of the suggestions. You will regain your natural ability to sleep well.
