The truth about Insomnia

Most people suffer from some kind of insomnia. It is most common problem people have with sleep, however most people only have acute insomnia. But don't worry it can easily be treated, most people don't practice sleep hygiene; they will just go to bed and think nothing of it. The truth is many things can prevent us from easily falling asleep, staying asleep or even getting restorative sleep. A way to combat this is to use good sleep hygiene; which means going to bed when you're tired (not when it's bed time), not watching TV or reading while in bed, don't eat or drink anything but water at least 2 hours before bed. There are more things you can practice but those will make a difference. Sometimes it could be as simple as you are not comfortable enough in your own bed, you could flip it or you can get a new mattress (here at American Mattress Gallery).

Things that cause Insomnia vary from person to person, it could something as simple as new sleep environment or something as bad as major depression (which I would strongly recommend you go see a doctor). You can also self-induce insomnia by just thinking about it, if you are having a tough time trying to fall asleep get up! Move around, to something that will exhaust your body and use brain power so when you do return to bed you will be thinking and moving less. Depending on how strong-willed (ormajorly stressed or depressed) you are sleeping pills most likely won't work, and are going to have to work through your problems with someone.

When I use to have insomnia I tried all of this stuff and it did not work. I worked out, ate healthier and tried to be an over all better person. But what I found was it wasn't that I was stressed or sad I was just doing things that I didn't like to do. I wasn't happy but I wasn't sad, I was just blah. So I got a new job, hung out with my friends more and tried to do more things that I liked. With a very busy schedule I found it difficult to stay awake, so when I got home around midnight I would just crash. Now falling asleep still wasn't very easy but staying asleep and getting restortive sleep was back to normal. So in some cases you are just doing this to yourself and you need to switch up your life style a little bit.

I hope this helped you in some way, and I hope you get the good nights sleep you deserve. So start this new life with a new mattress and get on to a healthier more fulfilled life.
