INSOMNIA
VARIOUS CAUSES OF INSOMNIA ARE GIVEN BELOW
- Aging
- 1. As we age we produce less melatonin; 50% by 40 years.
2. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal glands, which is chief sleep regulator of the body.
3. The pineal glands puts us in rhythm with the day, night, and the seasons.
- Overactive modern lifestyle.
- 1. People always seem to be on the move; at any given time 1/3 of the population is in
transit, be they numerous business trips, crossing time zones or hanging around airport
and railway stations, the circadian rhythms of the body are interrupted.
2. Modern work systems seem to advocate working long hours, stretching long into the
night.
3. Stress of family life, especially coping with children and the elderly.
4. Pursuing unrealistic goals.
THE CURE:
1. Try to go to bed at the same time every night. This helps condition your body to sleep during the sleep phase of your biological clock. Once this happens, your emotional disposition will greatly improve.
2. Cut back on coffee, tea and soft drinks that contain caffeine. Most colored soft drinks contain enough caffeine to keep you awake. Clear soft drinks such as 7-Up and Sprite contain no caffeine.
3. Avoid eating large, heavy meals before going to bed.
4. Deep physical relaxation can greatly enhance your ability to fall asleep when you want and to stay asleep once you are there.
