Insomnia Solutions

Health professionals have determined that there are 3 major types of insomnia:

• Transient, or mild, insomnia is temporary and normally lasts less than one week, with no sign of any resulting daytime fatigue or dysfunction.


• Short-Term Insomnia lasts from 1 week to 1 month and will probably have some affect on your daytime functioning. Often, it is also accompanied by fatigue and irritability.


• Chronic Insomnia causes sleep problems for more than a month, can severely impair your daytime functioning, and is most likely accompanied by strong feelings of restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and fatigue.

Some underlying causes are common to all three types, but, more often than not, the more serious the insomnia, the more serious the problem causing it.

As I've stated before, insomnia is the result of another condition in your body. In short, something else is wrong! For the most part, you're likely to find the cause in one of these areas:

• A physical ailment


• A psychological problem


• Temporary events and factors

Temporary Events include things such as jet lag, a shift change at work, noise, an argument with a loved one, or, even too much caffeine or liquor. Usually these things cause transient insomnia that will go away in a short time.

Psychological Causes include stress, anxiety, and depression. Psychological insomnia can be any of the 3 major types, and will last until the underlying problem is worked out.

Physical Ailments that can cause insomnia include chronic pain, hormonal changes in women during "that time of the month", arthritis, asthma, and Parkinson's disease (among many others). Obviously, some of these conditions require medical treatment. There are, however, insomnia solutions that you can find that will help in many cases.

OKAY! So, you're not stressed. You aren't in pain. You haven't been arguing with anyone. But, you still can't fall asleep.

Well, you have lots of company.

The fact is, the number one cause of insomnia is hormonal, and I don't mean the "ladies days" kind.

Deep in the center of your brain is a pea-sized gland called the pineal gland, and it's job, in the great scheme of things, is to produce melatonin, and this, Gracie, is the key to sleep!

Melatonin is Mother nature's gift to sleep. The melatonin level in your system at any given time is directly responsible for your ability to fall asleep easily, and, more importantly, to stay asleep.

Melatonin regulates your circadian rhythm, or sleep cycle. As melatonin levels rise, you become drowsy and fall asleep easily. Conversely, low levels of the hormone make falling asleep more difficult (if not impossible), and, if you do fall asleep, staying asleep for any decent period of time is out of the question.

Mother Nature, in Her infinite wisdom, designed your pineal gland so that it is actually stimulated by darkness and suppressed when you are in the light. This is Her way of telling you that you are supposed to sleep during the nighttime hours, and to be awake and productive during the day.

And, if you're a farmer, I'm sure this works very well...

But, for the rest of us, staying on Mother Nature's timetable is difficult, if not impossible.

Low levels of melatonin are caused by a number of factors, the two most common being:

• Age: Melatonin levels produced in the pineal gland naturally decrease as we age. This is a normal body function, and some researchers believe it is the reason that seniors go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier than they did in their younger years.


• Light and Dark: The pineal gland is stimulated by darkness and releases more melatonin in a dark environment. If, however, you are somewhere that has a high level of light (working late, etc.) during the evening or night hours, melatonin levels will remain low, and insomnia could result.

Well...as for age, there's not a whole lot we can do about that (except, of course, pray that we get a lot older!).

And, as for our day-to-day schedule, if you find that you must work (or play) at night and sleep during the day, make sure that your home is dark when you get there. Perhaps putting blackout curtains on your windows is all you need. At any rate, being in a dark environment will stimulate melatonin production and help you to sleep.

I know all of this sounds terribly complicated, but, as fate would have it, it turns out that your body really can't tell the difference between natural melatonin and a properly manufactured melatonin supplement.

Note that the operative term here is "properly manufactured", but, we'll get to that a bit later.

The point is, if, for whatever reason, your body is not making enough melatonin of it's own, there are supplements available that will do the rest of the job and help you get the sleep you need naturally. And, when taken correctly, supplements do work.

PRECAUTIONS: As with any therapy, when you begin using a melatonin supplement, there are things you need to know, like:

• Different people will need different levels of the supplement to get the best result. You should always start with the lowest recommended dose. Dosage recommendations should appear on the label. If they do not, buy another brand!


• If you feel that you need a larger dose, increase you dosage slowly. When you find the right level, STOP! As with any medication or supplement, you should only take the lowest effective dose. Most people experience side effects only when they are over-dosing.

Just a side note:
Melatonin is also found in it's natural form in some of the foods we eat (rice, for example). this is why dose sizes are so important. It can be easy to get too much melatonin without even knowing it!.

Side Effects:
Side effects from taking a melatonin supplement are extremely rare, and usually a result of overdosage. Reported side effects include:

• Vivid dreams or nightmares


• Daytime drowsiness and fatigue


• Irritability, and decreased libido

If you experience any unexplained problems while taking melatonin, stop taking the supplement immediately and see your Doctor.
