Natural Remedies For
Insomnia
Are you looking for a natural remedy for insomnia?
First lets be sure we all have the same idea about insomnia and what this word means.
According to Dictionary.com "insomnia" means:
Inability to obtain sufficient sleep, esp... when chronic;
difficulty in falling or staying asleep; sleeplessness.
So insomnia is simply a word that defines the symptoms, it doesn't tell us what causes insomnia. To find a cure
for insomnia we should at least learn what the cause is.
Did you know that insomnia is usually triggered by stress or anxiety of some kind? Sleeping pills are not the
answer because they come with nasty side effects and they don't cure insomnia. They can even make it worse.
Sometimes you get rebound insomnia when taking pills for long period. This sort of insomnia is not helped by
pills.

So why not try a natural remedy for insomnia? With most things health related we try to find out what is causing
the problem before we treat it don't we? But for some reason when we go the doctor about our insomnia we don't do
this. When we can't sleep we are usually just given the treatment without any investigation or advice.
Have you experienced this strange phenomenon yourself? Your doctor simply hands you a prescription for some
medication and that is that! You are often not told what might be causing your sleep problems, nor about natural
remedies for insomnia.
Why do we accept this so called insomnia remedy? It isn't as if sleeping pills are going to cure your insomnia.
They might knock you out for the night but that isn't a cure is it? When you stop taking the pills your insomnia is
still there. What other condition would you accept that type of "cure" for?
This happens because doctors get virtually no training in sleep and insomnia-except from the drug reps that
visit regularly. They don't have any idea how to cure your insomnia naturally. They can't even help their own sleep
problems for heaven sake!
You need to tackle the cause of your sleeplessness and then your insomnia will cure itself naturally.
Insomnia can be caused by a number of things but it is mainly caused by stress and lifestyle factors. It can
also be caused by medical conditions including sleep apnea or chronic pain.
Here are just a few things that cause insomnia:
- Lifestyle
- Food or drink
- Stress and anxiety
- Chronic pain
- Snoring partner
- Sleeping environment too hot or cold
- Noise
- Stress and anxiety
- Jet lag
- Shift work
Most likely it is a combination of some of these things. You can therefore end your insomnia by tackling them
and a natural remedy is what is called for. Pills don't help with this!
