Did You Know That If You Have Trouble Falling Asleep That This Is A Common Problem?

Trouble Falling Asleep?

Statistics report that 48% to 72% of Americans report occasional sleep deprivation insomnia. 22% have sleep deprivation insomnia every night or almost every night.


Adolescents ages 11-17, the 2006 sleep in America poll by the National Sleep Foundation found only 20% of adolescents were getting the recommended nine hours of sleep on school nights and 45% slept less than eight hours.


Although most students in the survey knew they were not getting the sleep they needed, 90% of parents polled believed they were.


The inability to sleep at night is challenging enough, but then those who suffer from sleeplessness must grapple with the many resulting daytime symptoms;

• of stress,
• not feeling refreshed or rested
• poor concentration and focus,
• feeling tired,
• irritable,
• dull,
• apathetic and forgetful,
• and a reduction in motor skills and coordination.

When students don’t get sufficient rest they are unable to focus, their grades fall, and they become moody and down. If sleep deprivation insomnia becomes chronic, it can lead to mental health problems such as depression, or misuse of alcohol and medications as they search for things to help them sleep.


According to the national highway traffic safety administration drowsiness and fatigue cause more than 100,000 traffic accidents each year; and young drivers are at the wheel in more than half of these crashes.

As You Can See Sleep Deprivation Insomnia Is A Problem!

There are many things which interfere with sleep;

• the hectic pace of life and the modern world,
• your worries and stress,
• the lack of regular exercise,
• pain,
• alcohol,
• tobacco,
• and caffeine

People with pain often have trouble sleeping and people who have trouble sleeping will develop pain because of sleep deprivation insomnia. Insomnia itself is enough to induce the pain syndrome.


There is a lot of research being done on sleep but we still only understand a small part of it. What is generally agreed upon is that sleep is restorative and important in the development of long term memory.


So the lack of sleep is associated with fatigue and difficulty with cognition. During sleep the brain also recovers from the activities of the day and prepares us for the challenges for the next day. There are repair functions that happen overnight and molecules that will be needed for function in the future for rebuilding.


Good night sleep helps reduce oxidative stress, improve irritability to control your blood sugar and tunes up your immune system.


Many studies have also shown that insomnia is associated with medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and the increase susceptibility to infection. If sleep deprivation insomnia becomes a pattern, it can lead to a weakened immune system and poor health.

Insomnia Cures

The Pharmaceutical Way

Many health care professionals recommend Lunesta, Rozerem, and a new time-release formulation of Ambien (Zolpidem) which have been approved by the FDA for long-term use for insomnia.

So let’s take a look at these drugs for a moment and see what other people who are taking these drugs say;


Lunesta

I have taken Lunesta 2 nights in a row (3 mg). Regardless of the horrible taste in my mouth, I have been waking up with nightmares throughout the night. When I wake up from the nightmares, I’m very anxious. It takes a while to realize it was only a dream. Sometimes I think our body doesn’t want us to sleep or dream for a reason. All of a sudden, being up several times at night seems better than having these dreams. I think these are going to wind up going down the drain.


Rozerem

I went to bed at the same time as always, wearing my pink nightgown and fuzzy yellow socks. When I woke up three hours later, I was sitting by the side of the road, surrounded by policemen and paramedics. My car was wrecked. Apparently, about 2 hours after I fell asleep, I rose up out of my bed, sat behind the wheel of my car (still wearing my pink nightgown and fuzzy yellow slippers, of course), and promptly drove my car straight into a tree–all while still asleep. This is called “sleep-driving,” and it is one of the possible side effects of a prescription drug I was taking called Rozerem. And the shocking part is that these Rozerem side effects are not unusual!


Ambien(Zolpidem)

Hi everyone. I wanted to post my personal experience with Ambien. I am no longer taking it because of what it did to me. I’ll explain as briefly as possible: I started taking it when I was 17, and I am now nearly 21. From the very beginning, Ambien had a strange effect on me, especially mentally. Throughout the course of taking Ambien, I experienced COUNTLESS “psychotic” episodes while under the influence. In the beginning, I would cut myself while on it. (I now have over fifty self-inflicted scars all over my body.) I would call people crying. I’d go outside in the middle of the night in nothing but my pajamas and walk around the block. Of course, I’d never remember any of this until something or someone reminded me of it. Later on, my episodes became worse. I had horrible, very realistic hallucinations and thought I heard voices. I’d drive my car to Wal-Mart and purchase something (still in my pajamas) or become so severely depressed that I wanted to (and almost did) kill myself.


Now after reading all those testimonies we can clearly see that the best insomnia cures are not at the drugstore.

The Healthy Sleep Way: Recharging Your Batteries With Melatonin

What Is Melatonin?

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that acts as an antioxidant. Early in life, the body produces an abundant supply, but as we age, production steadily declines.


Melatonin is produced in several tissues, including the brain (pineal gland), retina, and GI tract. In the brain, melatonin synthesis is stimulated by darkness. Once synthesized, it enters the blood stream and acts as an endocrine hormone involved in sleep regulation and a number of other cyclical physiological functions.


Daily biological rhythms thought to be influenced by melatonin include activity/sleep, core body temperature, immune function, antioxidant defenses, blood pressure, feeding, and glucose regulation.


Melatonin Supplements For Sleep


Melatonin supplements are one of the best and the most natural ways of battling sleep deprivation insomnia. These supplements help the body doze off at the proper time of the day (night time). Getting proper amounts of sleep is very important since these are the crucial hours where our bodies can take time to repair the tissues damaged and regain the energy lost during our daytime activities.


Melatonin supplements are available at http://FinestNutritionalsYouCanTrust.com. This new melatonin supplement, is designed to support the body’s natural sleep and wake cycles. One tablet provides 2mg of ultra-pure, pharmaceutical grade synthetic melatonin.
