Many people suffer from insomnia. If you have insomnia, or if you have ever known someone that does, then you know the hardship it can place on a person.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 64 million Americans are likely to suffer with insomnia at one time or another. To understand a bit about insomnia it is good to be familiar with some of the causes.
Transient insomnia occurs when we are traveling or sleeping in unfamiliar environments. It’s the least serious cause for sleepless nights and can usually be remedied rather easily.
The stress that many people feel when being out of their normal routine can be the cause of bouts with insomnia that are short term in duration.
A little more complicated are interruptions in sleep that last from a few weeks to a few months.
Health issues such as a broken leg, recovery from surgery and lifestyle changes can be the root of acute insomnia.
If someone has changed jobs or moved into a new home it might be expected that there will be a few nights of adjustment to the new surroundings.
The third and most serious type of insomnia is categorized as chronic. Some people suffer for extended months and even years with varying degrees of insomnia when they are considered to be in the chronic stage.
This is usually the product of a physiologic or psychiatric condition.
Regardless of the cause, for those who suffer, getting some ‘shut eye’ is really all that matters. From the sounds of commercials of late night talk shows, one would believe that a great night’s sleep is only as far away as the medicine chest.
For a few years now we’ve been teased with the promise of immediate sleep but listening to the potential side effects would scare anyone awake. Most of us want to sleep well but not at the risk of developing chronic nose bleeds.
Then there are those that have found comfort in aromatherapy or any number of environment enriching techniques for inducing a good night’s sleep.
Dark, quiet surroundings at the right temperature are all universally recognized as helping those that are bound to toss and turn. But before we mock them and make fun of their efforts, consider this…
Recent research has discovered a distinct relationship to the depth of sleep and the surrounding noise that we are experiencing.
There are special sounds and noises that enhance our chances of sleeping soundly. These are divided into several groups of noise which can be recorded and then made available to the insomniac.
It seems that the elusive sleep that the sleepless crave requires complete relaxation.
Noises and some types of music are shown to slower the electrical impulses allowing brainwaves to shift from the fast rhythm (beta waves) of our conscious hearing to the slower sleep producing rhythm of alpha waves.
It is essential to a wonderful, deep sleep that the brainwaves relax and this theory of brainwave entertainment may be just the ticket to a wonderful night with the lights out for you!
I’ve been working on a program for insomnia lately based on this method. My tests have proved that 78.6% of people can regain their natural baby sleep using my simple method.
So if you suffer from Insomnia, keep your eyes on this blog for more information.
