  Natural Insomnia Cures and Tips


Natural insomnia cures and tips. Insomnia is a risk factor for obesity and depression, it precedes depression, and it seems to make depression more resistant to treatment.

Persistent insomniacs most at risk for developing depression are the so-called "middle insomniacs" -- those whose sleep patterns are typically disturbed by waking up in the middle of the night. Older people with persistent insomnia are six times more likely to experience serious new-onset depression than individuals who sleep easily.

Insomnia varies from restless or disturbed sleep to difficulty in falling asleep, to a reduction in the usual time spent sleeping. You often feel like hell the next day. You are a candidate for an insomnia cure.

Most adults need the traditional seven or eight hours of sleep a night, but some adults are "short sleepers" and function well on only three or four hours. Many people overestimate the amount of sleep they need and underestimate the amount they actually get during a restless night.

A new study by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) finds that 70% of all adults in America aren't getting enough sleep. The National Sleep Foundation says that most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Many are not getting that. The CDC says an estimated 50-70 million people suffer from constant sleep loss or sleep disorders. People often do not understand that lack of sleep can cause health problems.

Anxiety, anger and depression are common causes of sleeplessness. Waking in the early morning is common in some depressed people.

Poor Sleep Linked to Weight Gain



Women who fail to get enough sleep risk gaining weight In a long-term study of middle-aged women, those who slept 5 hours or less each night were 32 percent more likely to gain a significant amount of weight (adding 33 pounds or more) and 15 percent more likely to become obese during 16 years of follow-up than women who slept 7 hours each night. This level of weight gain -- 33 pounds -- is very clinically significant in terms of risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Women who slept 6 hours nightly were 12 percent more likely to experience major weight gain and 6 percent more likely to become obese compared with those who slept 7 hours each night. Women who said they slept for 5 hours or less each night, on average, weighed 5.4 pounds more at the beginning of the study than those sleeping 7 hours.

After accounting for the influence of age and weight at the beginning of the study, women who slept 5 hours or less each night gained about 2.3 pounds more during follow-up than those who slept 7 hours nightly. Women who got 6 hours of sleep each night gained 1.5 pounds more than those who slept 7 hours nightly.

Poor Sleep Linked To Earlier Death In Older Adults



Sleep disturbances like long stretches of wakefulness during the night double the risk of death for healthy older adults compared to more restful seniors, according to new research.

Lying awake for 30 minutes or longer and spending a smaller percentage of the night asleep boost the risk of death among older adults. Older adults who sleep poorly tend to have a diminished quality of life and use health services more frequently, but the study by Dew and colleagues suggests that sleep disturbances can have a much more serious effect on health.

Interventions that optimize or protect sleep initiation and sleep quality in old age might not only add quality of life but prolong life as well.

In eight different studies between 1981 and 1997, the researchers used EEG monitors to observe sleep patterns in 185 healthy adults 60 to 90 years old. They then collected follow-up information to find which study participants had died by the year 2001.

The 66 adults who had died were more likely in the earlier sleep studies to lie awake for long periods, to sleep less "efficiently" through the night and to have abnormally high or low amounts of REM sleep, compared to study participants who were still living at the time of follow-up.

The link between poor sleep and earlier death remains significant even after adjusting for the influence of age, gender and existing health problems, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

Insomnia Tips


Use comfortable bedding. Get a better mattress or pillow if you need to.

Keep the room quiet and dark. Try wearing a sleep mask. Order one online.

Reserve your bed for sleep and sex. If you have trouble getting to sleep, get amorous with your partner, ask for a massage or pleasure yourself.

Meditate for a few minutes when you first lay down. Repeat a positive affirmation such as, I am calm and relaxed. All is well.
