Sleeping Patterns Insomnia
By: Penny Butler, NaturalHealing.com.au
| Generally, when a person suffers insomnia they often have difficulty falling to sleep at night. In addition, if they do fall to sleep at night, they wake up during the night and have difficulty falling back to sleep.
Most times a person may wake up around 3am in the morning and feel extensive tension and stress. The nerves are often rambled when the person is awake and they may feel depressed.
If you are, experience this type of suffering during morning hours, instead of making coffee, drink some warm milk or else drink some fruit juice. |

If you still cannot go back to sleep then you may want to try stretching your arms and legs, and extending your entire body successively until your body feels a source of release. Clear you mind of all thoughts if possible and start exhaling and inhaling rhythmically up to ten counts. Continue doing this until your mind and body cooperates and then try to lie back down without allowing your thoughts to roam.
It is important to avoid any chemicals or substances that can cause you to lose sleep before going to bed. Exercise is great, but do not exercise before going to bed, since exercise will increase your adrenaline. It is also important to learn relaxing techniques to control the mind. During night, hours when you lie down to rests you may want to read a comforting book, or else listen to some quiet music. It is important to avoid television during resting hours. The TV is nothing more than a distraction, with the exception that few people can fall a sleep with the television roaring. If this is helpful then keep the noise down. Some people recommend that you rest in a dark area of the home, however, during my studies I noted few children had difficulty sleeping with the lights off. Thus, find what is most comfortable for you in order to relax.
During the day if you have difficulty functioning you may want to take short breaks to practice relaxation. Find a nice quiet area with low lights and close your eyes while you practice your breathing patterns. Allow you body to relax, while you exhale and inhale rhythmically. After you have finished do a few stretching exercises so that the body releases any tension accumulated.
Insomnia may be existing for various reasons; again visiting your doctor is a start to relieving insomnia. Few insomnia attacks may not be linked to medical reasons, since stress plays a large role, but visiting your doctor will at most strike out this area that may be causing the insomnia. If insomnia persists after visiting your doctor, you may want to move onto mental health. Doctors work to find a solution for the physical, while mental health experts work to find problems of the brain, emotions and mind as an overall.
