SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

HOMOEO CALL A Systematic SLEEP pattern coupled with
regular physical exercises considerably relieves
insomnia
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 associted 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 beside,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 day time 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
trouble some thoughts and following physical exercises daily
would help a lot.
AURUM MET helps despair and depression, chronic illness causing
sleeplessness is remedied gradually by Nuxvomica.
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.
