Maximum Sleep

There is really no exclusive insomnia cure. There are many different treatments available that you can test . As you access these treatments one or more may be a possible insomnia cure for you. It might be a case a few test runs as you try out these treatments to find the best insomnia cure for you. But I assure you, you will be satisfied in the long run as you are rewarded with a good nights sleep.

Decisions, Decisions.
Before you are able to puzzle out the insomnia cure for yourself, it would be advisable to learn what your options are. Its as you learn what alternatives you have available, you are then better able to make a wise decision regarding the best insomnia cure. Before you “dive into” pills or products a simple lifestyle change may be all that is required.

1. Jetsam the Junk Food.
I will take the food pyramid as the example. The bottom tier will have fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grain bread and cereals which will be eaten in abundance. Doctors suggest eating food that is high in carbohydrate prior to sleep. Examples of these are bread and crackers. Don’t forget the 8 glasses water daily. There should be very little consumption of fatty foods, sugar and other unhealthy foods which are in the top tier. Fruit juice e.g. cranberry and carrot juice are very beneficial.

2. Walk the Dog!
Studies show that people who exercise with moderate intensity for a half hour in the morning fall asleep easier and sleep better. When there is physical exercise your core body temperatures and adrenaline levels are increased. 5 or 6 hours after exercise hormone levels drop, therefore it would be more advantageous to partake in exercise in the afternoon or early evening. The drop in hormone levels will aid in promoting a good sleep.

If after making the appropriate life style changes and you are still having not much success in finding an insomnia cure there are other alternatives you might want to consider.

1. A Quick Fix!  But that is O.K.!
You will need to get a prescription from your doctor for sleeping tablets. Your doctor will give you a complete physical check, perform routine tests and from there decide what is going to be the best for your insomnia. Sleeping tablets are used when simple measures are not enough, and lack of sleep is affecting your health. They should be used to get back to a normal sleeping pattern. People experiencing lack of sleep as a result of an acute crisis may find sleeping tablets effective as a short term remedy. Sleeping tablets are not the best way to help with sleep problems because you can get addicted to them, and they often stop working if you take them regularly.
Some of the side affects are:-
*headaches,
*dry mouth.
*weight gain, to name a few.
Because of the side effects many people shy away from medication as they feel the side effects are not worth the gains they might get in taking the tablets.

Having insomnia is very stressful and insomniacs will often feel that they are loosing their mind.   Having fallen into  this  category it is  perhaps  one of the toughest  problems one can face.  
Not only does it cause  problems in ones personal and professional life  but  sleep deprivation  “mucks” up the brain function. 
The amygdala  is a region in the brain which is  strongly associated with emotions such as fear  and agitation.  Sleep deprivation increases the activity here.    So it comes as no surprise,  after getting too little sleep the consequence is that one is more emotional and one is less able to control ones  expressions of anger or sadness.  Being delirious and hallucinating are two symptoms  which may also  arise after being without sleep for even as little as a few days.    This illustrates how important sleep is and how essential it is  to get a good nights sleep.

On the Road to Discovery and Recovery!
No matter what you read there is no single insomnia cure that you can go out and purchase.  But saying that there are some wonderful ways to cure insomnia that are available on the market .
To find your personal best insomnia cure you need to take the following into consideration.
*your age - older adults (age 60 and over)  are more frequently like to suffer from insomnia than any other age group.  Many older people with insomnia do not need to take sleep aids.
Older people would benefit more  from regular bedtimes, regular exercise,  and less napping during the day.   That afternoon nap  makes getting a good nights sleep even harder.  
*gender. - Women are twice as likely to suffer from insomnia than men. Woman who have never had children sleep better, even in their  fifties and sixties, than women who had children.
*duration of the insomnia. You would need to consider whether the insomnia is transient or chronic.

My First S.O.S.
First port of call is that   you may consider looking at sleeping pills as the best insomnia cure.    As a short term option  these light sedatives may be the best insomnia cure because they are effective and fast acting, allowing  you a full nights sleep.

These drugs should not be used for more than a week or two otherwise you risk the chance of addiction.  They should only be used for occasional treatment of temporary sleep problems.   Sleeping tablets are strong medication and should be treated as such, be careful and follow all the instructions.    But please don’t drink before you take them, which  seems to be the common thread amongst people with side effects.  Although  it might be consider as one of the best insomnia cures it  is not advisable as a long term solution.  

Team work with you doctor is vital  in solving your problem.  After your doctor has ordered a full medical check it is your doctor that  is best qualified to match the appropriate medication  with your  insomnia problem  to bring about the best possible result.

You may need to try a few different anti-insomnia drugs before you “hit” upon the right one for you.   Insomnia can definitely be trying to deal with, but with the right help and products you can start getting the rest that you need and feeling better overall.
