If you are having trouble falling asleep at night, look at the things in your life that might be contributing to a heightened level of anxiety and stress (worrying about work, your weight, your children’s performance at school) and try to find methods of dealing with these stresses. Stress is one of the biggest reasons that people develop sleep problems and once you upset the normal 24 hour rhythm of your internal sleep clock – you could end up with irreversible problems. And one of the biggest dangers when sleep problems first begin is for people to look for a quick fix – like taking a sleep pill.
Chemicals only stay in your body for 12-24 hours, so if you rely on them to bring you relief – they might for one or two nights but they can leave you groggy the next morning if you didn’t have at least 7-8 hours to spend in bed – and soon your body will get used to them and crave more. That’s the beginning of a slippery slope to dependency. The best method to relieve stress is to figure out what specific issue is at the root of your worry and find a solution to your problems so that you can start to focus on a course of action that will make things manageable and help you see the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel.” Once you know what steps you would take if your worst fears were realized – you can put in motion a plan of action. And don’t be afraid or reluctant to seek help from family and friends to better manage your time and discuss openly the issues that are bothering you.
Often just knowing that someone else has heard us and cares will help lessen our stress. If you already have sleep problems try a safe and proven method used by doctors that will re-set your internal sleep clock ( CES technology) as found in The Sleep Genie. It works with your body’s natural electrical component to gently and easily adjust your internal sleep clock back to normal, so you can fall asleep naturally again.
