Help With Insomnia

Everyone has suffered from those terrible nights where you toss and turn but no matter what you do, you can’t fall asleep! You lay there not comfortable at all, trying to get comfortable. It's a terrible cycle where you become more aggravated and therefore less likely to fall asleep again.

The good news is that there are many things you can do to fall back asleep. Be very careful with what you take or what you do to fall asleep because there can be very negative side effects.

The medications your doctor may prescribe can be filled with or contain many side effect inducing, unnatural chemicals. The chemicals in the prescription pills can have very negative side effects. A headache results from taking these pills (kinda like being "hung over"). Or you may wake up after taking a prescription sleeping pill and feel like you are completely out of it. Like a wandering zombie. And with a pill causing side-effects like that you would be better off without it.

What can you do to fight sleeplessness? There are many things you can do to increase your chances of falling and staying asleep.

Your room should be noise free (any kind of noise that may wake you or prevent you from sleeping). Keep the dog and cat out of the bedroom. You wan to also make sure there is no light in your room. Some blackout curtains would really be helpful. Make sure there is not light in the room when you're trying to sleep! Noises or certain sounds can help you get to sleep. Some very effective tactics are low volume music or a sound machine. Machines that have sounds of rain or waves or forests are very effective.

There are also natural sleep aids like Melatrol that you can take. There are no negative side effects in Melatrol because it's all natural (unlike prescription medication which are full of chemicals). Natural Sleep Aids like Melatrol feature a hormone called Melatonin that is what the body produces to help you sleep. These sleep aids are non-addictive and very effective.
