Having trouble sleeping during the night? Can’t find a way to get to sleep and stay asleep no matter what you do? Well, then you need to try this insomnia home remedy combination. Not only can it help you to get rid of insomnia, but it may actually help prevent insomnia from returning in the future.

Part 1 of the Great Insomnia Home Remedy Combo

Get yourself some insomnia herbal tea and a few insomnia oils. Insomnia oils and teas can be made of the following herbs: chamomile, valerian, passionflower, and lavender. Choose your favorite insomnia herbal tea (recommended tea: chamomile) and then choose your favorite herbal oil (recommended oil: lavender).

45 minutes before going to bed, take a warm bath and add a few drops of the herbal oil to the water. Remain in the bath for about 10-15 minutes, then get out. Too long in a warm bath is not good for your body, so be sure to stick to the 10-15 minute time frame. Once out of the tub, dry off and get into your comfortable sleeping clothes.

Now that you’re slightly more relaxed and in comfortable clothing, it’s time to prepare the herbal tea for this insomnia home remedy. Prepare the herbal tea as you would any other tea, using hot water just before boiling point. Slowly drink this tea as you make your way towards the bed.

At this point, it will be time to grab that herbal oil yet again. Place a few few drops of the herbal oil onto a handkerchief or piece of cloth and then slide that under/into your pillow.

Part 2 of the Great Insomnia Home Remedy Combo

Before sliding into bed, you’re going to want to put in a sleep CD, otherwise known as sleep sound tracks. This CD/tape will run as you get into bed and try to go to sleep. The sounds from the track will make their way into your subconscious and actually begin lulling you to sleep instantly. The effects from the tape/cd are rather fast, meaning you won’t likely know it’s working until you wake up the next morning.

Why Does This Insomnia Home Remedy Combo Work?

Part 1 is all about getting your body relaxed and inducing sleepiness. Luckily, this is easily accomplished with the 15-minute bath you took, the herbal tea you drank, and the aroma from the handkerchief you placed inside/under your pillow. Doing all three of these things together will make you feel not only unbelievably relaxed, but tremendously sleepy as well.

Part 2 is all about getting your brain in the right mood for sleep. Although the steps in part 1 help with this, they can’t do it all on their own. This is where the sleep soundtracks come in, as the sounds & pulses from the track “massage” the brain and ensure that it is 100% comfortable and ready for sleep. Short of taking large doses of prescription sleeping pills, there is no better, nor safer way to get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.

If you want to get rid of insomnia, then follow the 2 part insomnia home remedy combination above. You’ll thank me in the morning.

Introduction

Nearly everyone has occasional sleepless nights, perhaps due to stress, heartburn, or drinking too much caffeine or alcohol. Chronic insomnia is defined when you have problems falling asleep, maintaining sleep, or experience nonrestorative sleep that occurs on a regular or frequent basis, often for no apparent reason.

Insomnia Overview

Most adults have experienced insomnia or sleeplessness at one time or another in their lives. An estimated 30-50% of the general population are affected by insomnia, and 10% have chronic insomnia.

Insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis. By definition, insomnia is “difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or both.” Although most of us know what insomnia is and how we feel and perform after one or more sleepless nights, few seek medical advice. Many people remain unaware of the behavioral and medical options available to treat insomnia.

Insomnia techniques you’ve probably already tried but are still worth trying again.

·    See a Doctor

Insomnia can be a symptom of physical disorders, although for most of us it’s the result of tension, stress and anxiety—and of course the more anxious we get about our insomnia, the worse it gets. If your doctor pronounces you a “healthy” insomniac, he might suggest some of the techniques provided here. Or she might prescribe drugs to help you get to sleep.

We suggest you try all these methods first, and use drugs only as a last resort. The decision, of course, is yours.

·    Take a Warm Bath

It’s a great way to relax your body. Don’t overdo it, however. You merely want to relax your body, not exhaust it. Too long in hot water and your body is drained of vitality.

What causes insomnia?

Insomnia is the body’s way of saying that something isn’t right. Things that may cause insomnia include stress, too much caffeine, depression, changes in work shifts, and pain from medical problems, such as arthritis.

There are different kinds of insomnia:

·    Sleep Onset Insomnia (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome): A disorder in which the major sleep episode is delayed in relation to the desired clock time that results in symptoms of sleep onset insomnia or difficulty in awakening at the desired time.

·    Idiopathic Insomnia: A lifelong inability to obtain adequate sleep that is presumably due to an abnormality of the neurological control of the sleep-wake system. The insomnia is long-standing, commonly beginning in early childhood, sometimes since birth.

·    Psychophysiological Insomnia: A disorder of somatized tension (conversion of anxiety into physical symptoms) and learned sleep-preventing association that results in a complaint of insomnia and associated decreased functioning during wakefulness.

Symptoms

Symptoms of insomnia can be different for each individual, and people with insomnia might experience a variety of symptoms, such as:

·    Difficulty falling asleep, which can mean lying in bed for up to an hour or more, perhaps tossing and turning, wishing for sleep to begin.

·    Awakening during sleep and having trouble getting back to sleep.

·    Awakening too early in the morning.

·    Feeling unrefreshed upon awakening.

·    Daytime irritability, drowsiness, anxiety, and/or nonproductiveness.
