Insomnia Cures

Hi my mother who is 49 years old is suffering from insomnia. do you know any good sleeping pills which might help her to get a good 6-7 hours of sleep? also any docs. in pune who treat insomnia, their address, qualification etc.? thanks!

Hi,

I would recommend melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland and has an important role in circadian rhythms. The daily rhythm of melatonin secretion is controlled by an inbuilt, free running pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan. Melatonin synthesis is controlled by exposure to cycles of light and dark, and occurs independently of sleep.

You may visit to my website http://www.yourinsomniacure.com or email to me if you need to clear any doubt for your mother.

Hope I have helped.

Okay so let me attempt to explain to you exactly how I feel.

Note that this often goes in cycles. My current condition started two days ago. I stayed up relatively late, more so than usual (I'm a night owl) and I woke up about five hours later. This is a very short amount of time for me to sleep. I normally obtain at least eight hours. Anyways, needless to say; I felt very tired, but more notibly so is that my eyes feel like they could fall out. Well, that's exagerating, it's nothing that serious; but I can't seem to concentrate like this.

There's a pressure behind my eyes itself, and they feel and look quite tired. I've been sleepy quite a bit, but when I go to bed at say 10:00 pm, I ALWAYS wake up about four to five hours later. I never sleep anymore if I go to bed early. I don't get it!

Oh, I also get headaches to, but it's not strong unless I move a lot and the blood pumps fast.

I'd appreaciate any home remedies anyone knows about. Thanks.
Also, this is a tad bit irrevelant to the above post, but my mood tends to fluxuate a lot. One day I will feel like the happiest person on earth, and the next I'll be so down and out, without much energy, to really feel any motivation to do anything at all but stare at a wall. It's a little mad to say the least.

sounds like high blood pressure, see a doctor, stop eating anything with salt.

I'm on this med for a chronic pain and injury in my shoulder, but lately I've had insomnia–could the meds be to blame?

Oh yes. insomnia and hallucinations sometimes even night sweats. Originally, they are given to you to relieve the pain. Eventually, not sleeping is now the pain. Bad trade off. You can try a sleep aid like AmbienCR

ive lived with a certain degree of insomnia all my life, taking a long time to fall asleep, i used to deal with this problem as best i could but and as ive gotten older (31) and certain pressures have mounted in life, I gradually developed semi serious depression in the last two years. I yearn to better myself to bring me out of depression, but I cannot fall asleep now without Xanax and Alchohol, and this preventing me from reaching my full potential, physically and mentally.
I go to the gym work my butt off thinking it will help me fall asleep naturally, but I end up laying in bed for hours, the only way is to increase my xanax dosage now to nearly 2mg's which I really dont want to do. I can mix alchohol and take 1mg and I know I can fall asleep, but damn, I dont wanna drink everynite either. If I do not take the xanax and just drink to pass out, then I will feel hungover the next day and cant focus on work or excercise. I am at wits end, dont know what to do. Any advice out there?

You shouldn't be drinking–besides all the usual reasons, when you take meds, it's a bad idea and it can interfere with sleep. Don't increase a med dosage without consulting your doctor.

For non-prescription things which help (based on personal experience):

make the room as dark as possible–light interferes with melatonin production, causing sleep problems. Keep a flashlight in your nightstand in case you need to get up in the dark.

don't exercise for 3-6 hours before going to bed.

don't eat before going to bed–at least 4 hours before going to bed

make sure it's quiet

make sure your bed is comfortable–can get a memory foam mattress topper if your bed is not so great and you're short of money

memory foam pillows are also worth getting

lavendar oil sprinkled in the bed can help you relax and sleep. You can get that essential oil at any health food store I've ever seen. That bottle can last the better part of a year, so the $10 or so is worth it.

watch caffeine intake (remember chocolate and tea have caffeine as well as coffee)

you can try VALERIAN ROOT capsules–if you burp them up it's kind of gross, but otherwise, never had a problem with them

get a massager–can be whole body–use on the floor or bed for 15 minutes–or a foot one or such–massage helps you relax

try any of Dr. Weil's relaxation tips:

go to bed at the same time–and get up at the same time even on weekends–and allot 7-9 hours for sleep–phone off, etc.

When you eat dinner you can try some turkey–the tryptophan tends to make folks sleepy

allot some time during the day, perhaps even twice, to "worry" and make your "to do" lists so that you can short circuit some of that PROBLEMS list that gets to running in your mind when you try to sleep

Those should help. When you stop drinking, you probably will have more sleep issues for a couple of weeks or so as your body is detoxing. Just no way around it even when you were not drinking excessively.

warm shower or bath before bed can also help to relax you.

Good luck. Can start any/all suggestions and after a solid 30 days after no more drinking if you're not better off, then you should talk to a doctor about why you're having sleep problems.

Try to get some light exercise in before bedtime.

No caffeine.

Take a nice shower or bath, and slip into clean sheets spritzed with lavender, and if that still does not work…

I had insomnia for some time, and went on several meds from a MD, and then went the natural route.

I take something called Stemulite, an all natural health supplement. There is a daytime and nighttime formula, and the nighttime component, is the best natural sleep anhancer I have ever taken.

The nighttime formula has melatonin in it, so after sometime, I decided to just take “melatonin” because it was less expensive, but found it didn’t put me into DEEP REM sleep like Stemulite did. I think this is partly due to the manufacturing process, and the synergistic ingredients in Stemulite, which help regulate the hypothalamus, adrenals, and pituitary glands naturally. Additionally, a doctor created Stemulite for top body functionality, so not only did I get great sleep, I ended up not having anxiety attacks anymore, and felt like my moods had become stabilized.

You should consider the addictive and long term consequences of prescription meds and weigh them with natural sources.

I had problems falling asleep, and was precscribed medication, and then I had heard about Stemulite, which is all natural health supplement. There is a daytime and nighttime formula that is a binary formula to help maximize the benefits.

In the nighttime formula, is an all natural ingredient by the name of melatonin, which helps you fall asleep deeply. This enables REM sleep, where a person can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on a new day.

I decided to just take straight melatonin, and it never worked as well as the Stemulite did, and that is in part of the manufacturing of Stemulite, which was made by a doctor.

I have stopped sleeping, nearly all together for several months now. I hardly ever eat, I am dizzy all the time, and my head hurts. I have been put on ambian, but that didn’t help me at all. I have 2 little girls to take care of and I am worried that if i don’t get this under control I may pass out or even die while I am alone with my 2 year old and 10 month old. I want to be able to sleep, but I just can’t. What can I do?

I have insomnia and wasnt sleeping for weeks at a time. i tried many different kinds of medications that my doctors put me on. none of them helped. But if you go to your local drug store try a medication called Melatonin. It is a natural supplement. It is what your body produces. It helps me. I take 2 every night about 45 minutes before i plan on going to sleep. Then listen to a classical cd to relax my mind. once the cd is done. i am almost always asleep. i wish you the best of luck!! hope this can help you like it helped me.

i do sports year long, and i think that all my exercise has drained me to the point where im beyond a good nights rest. i know the easy alternative would be to stop all the exercise, but im a top athlete and have to keep going a few more months. anything that i can eat/drink/do that is healthy and will help me…? please dont say warm milk.

Melatonin. It may not be around the house but it is a "natural" remedy available at your local pharmacist. Note: some brands work better than others, try a couple or pay a few bucks more and get a pharmaceutical grade.

you have to sleep well but other than that there is also one thing you can use which would make the dark circles under your eyes go away. Take carrots and make natural juice from it in a juicer. The juice has to be natural then apply it on the dark circles and let it try. Do it before taking a shower and do it everyday until the dark circles go away. I also had dark circles but they went away when I started applying this carrot juice but you still have to sleep well otherwise the dark circles will return even after going away. I hope it helps you the way it helped me.
