Fast Advise For Women With Insomnia

8:33 am January 1, 2010

You’ll be surprised as to how many people have insomnia, and don’t even know it. Large numbers of people have improper sleeping patterns which may lead to health problems, and in the long term, heart and liver failure.

While our bodies long for sleep, it’s not always easy to achieve. Studies show that about 49% of people are getting less than the ideal 7 to 8 hours worth of shut-eye each night.

Sleep problems are common in women over 40 and is often during a time of increased stress levels due to concerns of work, children, finances – the list goes on. Hormonal fluctuations in the lead-up to menopause and during menopause as well could disrupt a woman’s sleep pattern.

For most, reaching the stage of menopause can cause stress and anxiety levels to rise in many women. If you find yourself in this situation, just know that it will pass and it’s a stage that every woman has to go through – it is normal. Worrying about it will only make your insomnia worse.

There are several solutions to getting back into sleep. It is best to avoid taking sleeping pills and try to regain a healthy sleeping routine via natural means. You should try the following:

Your body needs to re-adjust and get back into a regular routine, and that means getting to sleep and waking up at the same time everyday. It’s important that you keep to this schedule and don’t let it slip too often (try to keep your late nights out to a minimum).

Perform a sleep ritual on a nightly basis so your body recognizes through repetition, when it is time to shut down. You can achieve this by reading a book in bed for 30 minutes or so, or even having a warm drink such as caffeine-free tea (Rooibos tea is a great example of this). Watching television is not a good idea if you’re trying to get to bed as it might be too much of a brain stimulus.

Get your room to be as dark as possible. Turn off the tv or any lights in the room to avoid any distractions, and try to relax. Some good ways of relaxing in bed might be breathing exercises or listening to hypnosis CD’s. A lot of people who suffer from insomnia have had good results via hypnosis so that might be one avenue for you to explore. Other alternatives would be stare at a spot on the wall till you feel drowsy (which won’t take very long at all!).
