Sleepless nights

Our Treatments

 

 

A systematic sleep pattern coupled with regular physical exercises considerably relieves insomnia.

 

We live in a world of our own during our sleep and yearn to be there for a few hours till the sunny morning beckons us for a bright ensuing day. It is when one cannot fall asleep or if it is interrupted that makes one sicker with a sense of unease the next morning.


Insomnia or sleeplessness is usually associated with emotional or mental tension, anxiety, depression, problems at work and financial stress. It could also occur due to a physical cause or any illness that can cause pain or discomfort.


There could be some temporary causes like travelling to a new place; an uncomfortable new mattress or an environment with noise, even tight night clothing, which can contribute, but all can be remedied when the cause is removed. A spouse with a snoring problem does not help one sleep.


Causative factors


Inordinate life styles like heavy meal at bedtime, alcohol intake before sleep, high beverage consumption , smoking, watching television by the bedside, heavy exercise before sleep time and lack of exercise during the day can all cause this malady.


"Restless legs syndrome," narcolepsy where the patient falls into sleep suddenly during the daytime, chronic illness like kidney failure, pregnancy, advancing age and some medications come in the way of a good night's sleep.


An insomniac would toss and turn in bed and finds himself awake with thoughts of the work of the day and other stressful ideas. The solitude can also add some fear and anxiety to further his imagination. Some people find themselves awake probably to answer nature's call and have difficulty in falling asleep again. Thus the couple of hours of sleep that they get during the early morning hours leave them with a lethargic feeling. Irritability, lack of concentration and sleepiness during daytime ensue to a good measure interfering with the daily activities.


Management and treatment


Following, a regular time pattern of going to bed and waking up, sleeping on a comfortable mattress in a noise-free room would help. There can be no remedy for anxiety but trying to keep away troublesome thoughts and following physical exercises daily would help a lot. Aurum met helps despair and depression. chronic illness causing sleeplessness is remedied gradually by Nux vomica. If the problem were drug related Avena sativa would be the right remedy. Staphysagria corrects sleepiness during day and restlessness causing sleeplessness is helped by Tarentula and Valeriana.
