Insomnia Cures

Im 15. I am an insomniac. I can’t ever sleep. I roll around like mad during the night and never fall to sleep til like 5am. I usually go to bed at 10pm. This is ruining my school since i keep sleeping in and can’t get up. What could i do to help myself? thanks

I suggest reading the sections "Non-medical treatment and behavioral therapy" and "Lifestyle and home remedies" in http://insomnia-sleeplessness.blogspot.com/
If possible, avoid taking sleeping-pills.

I just turned 17 and I’ve been suffering from insomnia for around a year now. I’ve tried a lot of natural remedies like cutting out sugar, caffeine and fatty foods, tried warm baths before bed, exercising more but nothing worked.
My doctor gave me some sleeping pills, they worked for awhile but now i need a higher dosage.
I don’t want to keep taking them and I feel like I’ve tried everything the doctor told me to try.
Can anyone suggest anything for me?
It will be really appreciated.

Try alternative drug free therapies such as deep breathing exercises. Just concentrate on your breathing and think only of the word, ’sleep’ and ‘relax’.
Make sure you have enough blankets on your bed. If you are cold you won’t sleep. Sometimes if you are hungry you can’t sleep, so get up make a sandwich and a hot cup of tea or cocoa.
Maybe you need to wear earplugs.

Prescription drugs are now one of the nation’s leading killers!
source: Consumer Reports. The number of people needlessly hurt or killed by prescription drugs has become staggering. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that in one year, over two million patients suffered serious drug reactions, resulting in 106,000 deaths. Another article in JAMA estimated that only 1 in 20 reactions are reported.

Drug makers claim that antidepressants are not “habit forming” but fail to mention that all antidepressants can cause withdrawal. People often do not realize that withdrawal is causing their symptoms.

Gradual dose reduction (also know as tapering) will alleviate symptoms for most people. (For many people the reduction in dose needs to be in miniscule amounts requiring the painstaking cutting and measuring of medication.) And yet most doctors do not know the proper methods for withdrawal and fail to fully warn patients. Failure to come off antidepressants properly, can result in permanent WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS.

5-HTP is a naturally derived amino acid that has been shown in comprehensive studies to be safer than prescription drugs for the treatment of insomnia and depression, and can also be used for treating obesity, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, and premenstrual syndrome. It may prove to be more popular than St. John’s wort for the treatment of depression and other serotonin-related conditions, as it’s been shown to produce results in as little as two weeks, while the herb may take a month or longer.

Author Michael Murray, N.D., a leading naturopath and coauthor of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, delves very deeply to explain the hows and whys of depression at the neurotransmitter level, and the illustrations of presynaptic membranes may be a bit much for the lay reader. There are also several sections with intimidating titles along the lines of “Enhancing 5-HTP with Catecholamine Precursors.” But the book’s comprehensiveness makes up for its occasional denseness. Murray includes enlightening sections on nutrition for peak serotonin synthesis, other complementary herbal supplements, and many online and physical sources for obtaining 5-HTP. –Erica Jorgensen –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Library Journal
Murray (Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements, Prima, 1996) believes that the symptoms of depression, obesity, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity, premenstrual syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia can be alleviated by taking the amino acid 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan). The body converts 5-HTP into serotonin, a neurotransmitter vital for brain function, and Murray argues that increased serotonin levels mitigate much of the discomfort associated with the conditions cited above. He devotes major chapters to depression, weight loss, insomnia, and headache, with each following the same format: exploration of the condition and orthodox treatment, review of studies using 5-HTP, and recommendations for therapeutic doses. Personal stories illustrate how patients have benefited from 5-HTP. It is apparent from warnings given throughout the book, however, that use of this natural supplement is not without danger, especially if taken with certain prescription medicines.

To get your health questions answered visit our blog http://www.healthydoctors.com/blog . Type in your search words in the search box. Dr. Borkin and Dr. Robert Rowen, MD understand when to use allopathic, conventional, alternative, complimentary and oxidative medicine to help their patients heal and experience optimal health.

Dr. Michael Borkin, NMD is a pioneer in hormone and electrolyte research. He specializes in hormone and electrolyte testing and balancing. For more information contact him at: 888-285-9098 or by email: doctorborkin@gmail.com.

His evaluation of hormones levels in patients provides an in-depth snap shot of the health level and disease processes. These tests and the unique balancing programs created by the trained doctors and lab technicians are incredibly valuable for individuals who have used anabolic steroids, HGH (human growth hormone), insulin, testosterone and progesterone without understanding the importance of exact supplementation in response to test results. Gross dosing without testing has caused many people to be biochemically and hormonally out of balance.

Dr. Michael Borkin is also one of the creators of the science of bio-identical hormones and transdermal (through the skin) creams. Unique creams are created for each patient to restore hormonal homeostasis. The creams are made up of hormones, hormone precursors, nutrients, homeopathics, herbs and electrolytes. Specific electrolyte and nutrient rich supplements help balance each patient’s bio-chemistry in all their cells, including the brain.

Dr. Borkin invested many years in treating the “Who’s Who” of Hollywood and Las Vegas. After studying so many people who violate the health laws and natural circadian cycle (24-hour light and dark cycle), that stay up all night and sleep during the day, he became the leading expert on the three stages of adrenal exhaustion and the terrible consequences of a stressful life.

As we all know, stress kills. Some of the most famous actors, stars and athletes are his patients. They keep his name as a jealously guarded secret so he will personally have time to work with them. They want to take advantage of his knowledge and research so he can create and monitor their special balancing programs. They are desperate to look younger, have more energy, feel their best and perform at optimal levels.

Dr. Borkin has developed a 24-hour test of the flood of hormones throughout the entire body, every 4 hours. A patient starts collecting their saliva at 8 AM. They take a sample every 4 hours until 4 AM the next morning. By studying the levels of bio-active hormones and electrolytes available in saliva, doctors learn a great deal about the health and disease processes going on inside their patients’ cells.

What are the benefits of using poppy seeds for making good sleep? Can we treat insomnia with poppy seeds?

Looks like you are in need of help.

In case you have problems going to sleep following a Strict Sleep Hygiene is the first step to getting closer to your desired sleep pattern.

Sleep hygiene alone (if followed religiously) is as effective as Medications (Sleeping Pills) And for that matter even poppy.

After a while, our body will develop Tolerance to all kinds of substances (this includes poppy) and you will require higher amounts to fall asleep. This can be devastating if the substance you use if poppy , not only will you will have grave harm to your body but also to your Mental and Social life.

Following a Strict Sleep Hygiene is the Corner Stone in dealing with Sleep Problems (even a Psychiatric will suggest you the same)

You could follow some advice on Sleep Hygiene
