Natural Restful Sleep
What causes
insomnia?
Do you go to bed only to spend hours tossing and turning, the
victim of insomnia, just praying for a night of natural,
restful sleep?
Then you are not alone.
Literally millions of Americans suffer from
insomnia. Some of
these problems may be physical and some may be due to the
stress and strain of every day living.
Insomnia is characterized by an
inability to sleep and/or inability to remain asleep for a
reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being
unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a
few minutes at a time. Both organic and non-organic insomnia
constitute a sleep disorder.[1][2] Insomnia can be caused
by:
-
Psychoactive drugs
or stimulants, including certain medication, herbs,
caffeine, cocaine, ephedrine, amphetamines,
methylphenidate, MDMA, methamphetamine and
modafinil
-
Hormone shifts such
as those that preceed menstruation and those during
menopause
-
Psychological
problems like fear, stress, anxiety, emotional or
mental tension, work problems, financial stress,
unsatisfactory sex life
Mental Disorders such as clinical depression,
bipolar disorder, general anxiety disorder, sleep
disorders
-
Disturbances of the
circadian rhythm such as shift work and jet
lag
-
Certain
neurological disorders, brain lesions, or a history
of Traumatic brain injury
Medical conditions such as Hyperthyroidism and
Wilson's Syndrome
Abuse of over-the counter sleep aids as well as
prescribed insomnia medications can produce Rebound
insomnia
Insomnia also sometimes occurs
for no apparent reason.
Insomnia and modern
life
Our fast-paced world takes a toll on one of the most vital
parts of our life -- sleep. In 2002, the National Sleep
Foundation did a poll, which showed that 74% of American adults
experience insomnia a few nights a week or
more. The
poll also found 39% of Americans get less than seven
hours of sleep each week night, and more than one in
three (37%) are so sleepy during the day that it
interferes with their activities.
Here's a short, true-false test that could help you better
understand where you stand on sleeping.
1. Five hours of
sleep a night is good enough.
2. It's okay to
skimp on sleep during the workweek so long as you make up the
time on the weekend.
3. The effects of
sleep-deprivation are short-term.
4. You can drink
caffeine early in the evening and it will not affect your
sleep.
5. It's okay to
keep a TV or computer in your bedroom.
6. Your weight has
nothing to do with the amount of sleep you get.
Did you answer yes to two or more of these
questions? Then
you need to make some changes if you want to enjoy natural,
restful sleep and stay in good health.
How do you know if you're getting enough natural
restful sleep?
Most sleep experts say
you should get between seven and nine hours of sleep each
night. However,
this does not hold true for everyone. Some people require only
about six hours of sleep a night while others who are very
active or ill may require more than this.
You probably already know if you’re sleep
deprived. If
you are not sure, just look in the mirror. If you see dark circles
under your eyes and a sleepy look, if you have
unpredictable moods, experience drowsiness during the
day, have a problem concentrating, recover slowly from
injury and get sick often, you are clearly not getting
enough sleep.
