Questions for You
- Do you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep?
- Do you wake up several times during the night?
- Do you often wake up more tired than when you went to bed?
- Does sleep medication fail to give you the sleep you crave and leave you feeling drowsy the following day?
Importance of Sleep
Sleeplessness is more than just a hassle; it can also be life threatening. The National Department of Transportation estimates drowsy driving to be responsible for 1,550 fatalities and 40,000 nonfatal injuries annually in the United States.
A good night’s sleep is critical to the maintenance of good health. Without it, you increase your susceptibility to an array of health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity and depression. Insufficient sleep can also compromise your entire immune system. You exercise in order to keep your immune system functioning at peak efficiency, up, but if you aren’t sleeping properly, all that effort can be undone, as the immune system works best when you get a good night’s sleep.
You are not alone. Millions of people have searched tirelessly for a treatment that works, only to become discouraged by traditional therapies that offer no real cure, and which only disguise the symptoms.
Insomnia and Drugs
Oftentimes, when a doctor hears a patient say, “I need something to help me sleep at night,” they immediately turn to the failsafe of modern western medicine — drugs. Prescriptions for sleeping medications in the U.S. topped 56 million in 2008 — a new record, according to the research firm IMS Health, up 54% from 2004.
Pharmaceutical drugs do not induce sleep, they cause sedation instead. They are also linked with multiple diseases and a higher risk of death. Short term use can be beneficial, however, in the long term, a human organism can be re-balanced in a manner to allow it to sleep, since sleep is a natural and very important behavior and state for the human mind and body.
While pharmaceuticals might help some people sleep at night, the effects can be temporary. For others, drugs might not help them sleep at all. This, compounded with unwanted side effects, can make a person’s sleep problem worsen over time.
For people who have been taking drugs that help them sleep at night for many years, it can feel like there is no way out. You might fall into this category. If you find yourself feeling like your sleep patterns have come unraveled and are begging for someone to “help me sleep at night,” it might be time to consider an option that can help you restore a healthy, natural sleep pattern.
