Do you count sheep at night to get to sleep until you wished you never saw another sheep? Do you lie there looking at the ceiling for hours?
It's possible you have insomnia.
Perhaps you feel like you need a good sleep all the time, but can't actually get one.
And it's possible that your relationship is suffering as well because not only do you not sleep well but all that tossing and turning disturbs your partner too. And he or she has had enough of your grumpy moods.
Insomnia can be a huge problem. And if you have it it's probably a huge problem for you right now. Maybe it's causing you some physical or mental health problems for example.
Now of course everyone has the odd night when they don't sleep well, that's not new. Maybe there's something on your mind, or perhaps you took a nap in the afternoon and just don't sleep well at night.
But there is a big difference between the odd night's interrupted sleep and night after night of sleeplessness.
Insomnia can come in many forms. Maybe you spend hours at night before you get to sleep for the first time. Perhaps you can get to sleep fine but wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. Or perhaps you sleep fine till early morning then can't sleep after 4 or 5 am.
There are many causes of sleeplessness. There are medical conditions which can cause insomnia as a side effect of the condition, and there are also medications which can have the same effect.
And in some instances it's just that your body has learned not to sleep at night and you don't know what to do to help it unlearn it.
One of the first prescribed remedies is often drugs for sleeplessness. But who wants to take drugs, possibly for years or decades? There are other remedies too.
If you have serious insomnia you ought visit a doctor to diagnose or eliminate the possibility of medical conditions. If you do have an underlying medical condition it should be treated. But you may not. If not there is good news.
There are some natural cures for insomnia that work well. They can be quite cheap or even free and can work better than you might think.
You can sometimes avoid both the risks and the cost of taking prescription drugs. - 30196
