Curing Insomnia - Lyme disease Won’t Let Me Sleep!

Some time ago, an avid reader wrote in reporting sleep issues. Unlike many people who suffer from insomnia, he knew when and very likely why the problem started.

He had acquired Lyme disease. Sleep disturbances as well as chronic fatigue complaints are not uncommon in people who have this disease.

This nasty disease is typically known to start with a rash which then leads to fevers, aches, and chills. Arthritis and other disorders can also occur as a result of acquiring Lyme disease. Deer ticks can carry the bacteria, and this is about the time of year we see an ‘up-tick’ in tick bites. Yes…pun intended.

Given the symptoms of the disease itself, it seems little wonder that his sleep would be negatively affected. People complain of not being able to fall asleep as well as awakening frequently throughout

Such poor sleep (or lack of sleep altogether) at night then leads to the being excessively tired and sleepy during the day. A fair percentage of Lyme disease sufferers also complain of restless leg syndrome at night.

Such fatigue, of course, can then create an environment for even more ancillary harm to the body. When we are worn out physically and mentally, we are primed for other illnesses and injuries.

Such a serious disease requires consistent medical attention. However, there are many natural ways to significantly help alleviate many of the symptoms, including sleep disturbances.

Creating a comfortable sleep routine and sleeping environment is especially important for anyone who suffers from sleep problems.

Relaxation is a necessity in aiding sleep, so establishing a soothing nocturnal ritual can help with this aspect.

Noise control makes sense to help ensure sleep continues uninterrupted. Abolishing the many brain stimulants such as the television shortly before bed time will also help. A better option would be to practice relaxation exercises combined with peaceful music.

A number of people tout the benefits of certain natural herbs to help with both symptom control and even Lyme disease treatment. As always, I caution you to research this and consult with a trusted herbalist or other alternative treatment practitioner before attempting to cure the disease.

As with all ailments, this is also an especially important time to ensure proper nutrition. It seems obvious, but often we crave the less nutritious “comfort foods” when we are in pain, are extra tired and are suffering.

Those comfort foods, though, do not offer long term benefits; whereas a healthy diet will help create strength and energy which is needed to combat any health ailment.

Given the many issues (many of them debilitating) that accompany Lyme disease, I offer complete sympathy to sufferers and appreciate the opportunity to share some information.

I encourage you to check out my programs including the Insomnia Program and Arthritis Programs. Both are all natural, and have received great acclaim.

Curing Insomnia - Pain in the Morning-Is it the Way I Sleep?

Today I would like to take another question from the files of reader polls: What in the world can cause waves of pain upon waking?

This comes up from time to time as people write in about the Stop Snoring and Insomnia programs. However, this question is a bit more generalized than what people usually ask me.

To find out what is causing waking pain, we first need to find out when the waking pain is happening, and also where the pain is occurring.

Pain that wakes you up at night or that you notice in the morning even if you sleep all night, and is generally limited to the legs is thought to be either a symptom of restless leg syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis, or circulation problems from another disease process.

Pain limited to the ribcage and diaphragm area and causes problems with wakefulness at night can indicate issues in the muscles of the thorax or even a pleural (lung) disease process. Frequently, though, this type of pain (especially if there is chest discomfort) can indicate serious sleep apnea issues, which should be taken very seriously.

What if it is low back pain in the mornings? This is usually because either your mattress needs to be replaced or you are showing the first signs of spinal subluxation. This can be a misalignment or even a chemical imbalance causing degeneration of the vertebrae.

Now back pain that is limited to one side, however, can indicate a problem with how your kidneys are functioning, but simple blood tests can rule that in or out.

The general tone of the rest of the reader’s email from when we started, though, talked about general waves of pain that wash over the whole body, as if it were being compressed. This was occurring regardless of whether he would wake during the night, which was frequently, or upon waking in the morning.

This raises a whole different category of possibilities because of the generalized nature of the pain locations.

What research tends to point out is this type of pain upon waking is due to two components:

– Dehydration

– A disruption of normal sleep cycles.

Dehydration is a tricky issue. Most people know by now (or should) that if you wait until you are thirsty to drink, you’ve waited too long. Another problem is the beverages chosen.

We have discussed in the past that anything but water is generally not going to do a good job to give your body the proper amounts of hydration it needs.

Balancing electrolytes is important, but generally people who have this problem are athletes or people with metabolic disorders. Anyone outside of these two categories should avoid sports drinks.

We have also talked about sleep as it refers specifically to fibromyalgia, but even people who don’t suffer from fibromyalgia can be victim to this debilitating problem.

The muscles in your body depend greatly upon your brain being able to sleep. Critical neurotransmitters released during stage 4 sleep are what help the nerves in the muscles to maintain good health. Other chemicals released during restful sleep help the muscle tissue itself to repair and grow.

When we are limited on the amount of proper sleep, we are limited on the chemicals we need to recover from the daily damage we cause to ourselves just by living life.

A friend of mine mentioned that she frequently woke during the night with the same types of crushing pain. It only lasted a second or two but it washed over her literally from head to toe.

She had spoken with her doctor to rule out the scary diseases and underwent a lot of testing. She discovered that she was dehydrated and she set to work at changing her water intake. I gave her some information on what people need as a minimum intake (at least 2.5 liters per day).

She improved a bit but it wound up being the sleep study that saved her.

It turns out that she has mild sleep apnea and just a mild case of snoring. But, her anxiety issues were causing her to wake up no less than 20 to 30 times during the night.

Once she got that straightened out, her sleep naturally improved and the combination of proper hydration and better rest solved the pain problems.

Naturally solving the sleep issue is usually a better resolution than resorting to pills, and is almost always much cheaper than prescription drugs as well.

If your sleep is disrupted because of snoring or anxiety that leads to insomnia, I recommend you check into my programs for naturally resolving these problems today.

Curing Insomnia - Sleepless Nights with Arthritis, Neck or Back Pain

I can really relate to readers who have trouble sleeping due to severe pain. I couldn’t count all the sleepless nights I had when my neck was out (after literally being hit by a truck).

Of course, I assumed that my neck pain was keeping me up. This is exactly what many people suffering from Arthritis, neck, back, TMJ or other pain complain about.

You understand how it’s not possible to sleep when your joints are squeaking.

But there is a twist to this. It’s something I didn’t realize until my neck began to get better.

You see, as I began doing the exercises I teach in my neck pain program, I began to feel a lot better on a daily basis. Most of the time, I didn’t even notice pain in my neck at all.

But then came nights that I didn’t sleep very well. Sometimes I was flying overnight, other times it was anxiety or excitement that kept me up.

No matter what the reason for my sleeplessness was, the next day my neck always hurt like … you know, not heaven.

I’ve heard the same comments from many readers suffering from any type of pain.

If you don’t sleep well, all other health issues get worse.

So why is that? What does good sleep have to do with pain relief?

During the day, we’re so busy taking care of everything out there in the world that our bodies can’t restore themselves. Sure, we take a few pit stops here and there but that’s just so we can make it through the day.

It’s when we sleep that the natural doctors and nurses of our bodies get to work. They are able to breathe with the relief that our conscious mind is gone away and our much smarter subconscious has taken over.

As we dream about the green, green, grass of home, our growth hormones and white blood cells spread around the body, restoring harmed joints and sore muscles.

The tricky part is that it takes 90 minutes of sleep to get the maximum amount of healing hormone and cell production going. After that, more moderate amounts are produced and delivered throughout the night.

So if you don’t get a constant 2-3 hours of good, deep, uninterrupted sleep, your body never manages to bring itself up to its maximum production power. And anything that’s not essential suffers.

So if you’re suffering from pain, regardless of what it is, I’m sure you’ve checked out our neck pain program or our new arthritis program. They are both very helpful and thousands of people have benefited from them.

But also, make sure you get a good night’s sleep every night. Our natural insomnia program has been very helpful for this. Although easy fixes like relaxing before going to sleep and not staying up too long may be all you need.

This post is from The Insomnia and Stop Snoring Program offers a revolutionary new approach to help people stop snoring. Snoring is not only disruptive to our partners, but it poses health risks as well, especially for those folks who suffer from sleep apnea.

Christian Goodman, the creator of the program, has discovered that a selection of specific exercises can actually correct the issues that lead to excessive snoring, and help snorers and their bed mates get a better night’s sleep.

The program will allow you to shake your pesky and unhealthy snoring habit using only easy to perform natural exercises. No drugs, surgery, funky contraptions to sleep with, hypnosis or any other invasive techniques. If you can spend 7 minutes per day performing these exercises you can say goodbye to snoring for good.

Relieving Insomnia - Is Guilt Interrupting Your Sleep?

I was looking over a news story (really it was more of an editorial blog posting) that was blasting a drug and technique for treating Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. While the focus of my post today isn’t on PTSS, it does touch on this controversial treatment.

The issue at hand was a technique that combines a pharmaceutical that is considered an amnesiac, similar to what is administered during some surgical procedures such as colonoscopy with psychotherapy, whereby the recipient relives a severely traumatic event.

In the surgical setting, the drug renders the recipient unable to remember the procedure or the unpleasantness of it, which can be rather useful in the appropriate surgical setting.

The controversy arises because of the effect of the drug plus the talk therapy. The result is said to be that the sufferer ends up “forgetting” the traumatic event and thus eliminating all the negative physical and emotional stress that comes with the bad memories. Instead of healthy ways of working through the memories, the sufferer is aided in blocking them out.

Blocking out traumatic events is something the brain does as a defence mechanism in many cases. Sometimes, the block is permanent.

Sometimes, it isn’t. When it isn’t, and the horrible events come rushing back in, it can be quite problematic for the victim.

That is why psychiatrists and other doctors have been looking into techniques to simulate the process of eliminating bad memories.

But at what cost?

On the one hand, eliminating bad memories that serve no purpose other than to torment the victim, and offer no possibility of valuable life lessons to be learned may be worthwhile. On the other, this process adds the possibility of negative side effects from not only the drug, but also the problem of the sufferer remembering everything eventually.

But the really interesting controversy is where the limits of this treatment are pushed. Some contend it may be abused, as in the case where someone with a guilty conscience wants the treatment done so they can sleep at night.

Not being able to sleep when your conscience is heave with guilt is actually a good thing…it shows that you are not a sociopath. It is a normal, healthy reaction to understanding consequences and being able to empathize with whomever it was you may have slighted.

However, punishing oneself by suffering endless sleepless nights does no one any good. You have to be able to move on from the bad memories of whatever it was you did in effective, healthy, and natural ways so you can sleep and so your body can function optimally, without drugs and without controversial psychotherapeutic therapies.

Depending upon what the infraction is that is causing the crisis of conscience, you have a variety of means to overcoming the guilt reaction in a responsible and healthy way. Using drugs to forget about the act that is causing your guilt is not one of them. This is the problem at the heart of the controversy.

Proper treatment should not only reflect the severity of the moral gaffe, but also your own reaction to it.

Sometimes, it is simply a matter of writing yourself a letter, whereby you actually state to yourself, “I forgive you.” Be able to forgive yourself first, and then move on with reparation elsewhere. This is really effective when your problem is a simple flub, such as “why did I say that? That was so mean,” or, “I can’t believe I danced like a crazy person after drinking too much.”

For bigger moral dilemmas, you may want to join a support group or seek counselling in being able to find the best course of reparation that is healthy for everyone involved.

This also may involve making the tough choices about coming clean to someone who doesn’t know you have caused them harm in some way. This would be between you and your minister, counsellor, or lawyer.

Seeking to free yourself from guilt isn’t selfish. It is normal and healthy. It shows that you feel remorse. Being able to take the next step in making amends for it is the best way to naturally lift the weight that keeps you awake at night.

Don’t let something you did in the recent or even distant past stand in the way of good sleep. Chances are that whatever you did may be keeping someone else up at night as well and a simple “I’m sorry” would do you both good.

Relieving Insomnia - Insomnia Caused by Lack of These Minerals

Tossing and turning at night may have less to do with stress and more to do with a deficiency of the essential minerals magnesium and calcium, according to a study conducted by the Human Nutrition Research Center in North Dakota.

These researchers tied low magnesium and calcium levels with inability to fall asleep and poor sleep quality. In particular, low levels of these minerals tended to cause the research subjects to wake during the night.

The idea that a single mineral can cure insomnia may be appealing to the millions of Americans that struggle with insomnia. However, the study authors note that studies investigating the effects of these two minerals as a treatment of insomnia are still on the way.

That doesn’t mean supplementing won’t work –the North Dakota based scientists report that people suffering from insomnia can benefit from taking magnesium and calcium together.

Relieving Insomnia - Insomnia’s Tunnel and the Bright Light at the End of It

With the weather finally starting to make a change for the warmer and longer days of spring, many readers write in this time of year because they notice that with the longer days they have better sleep habits.

One gentleman asked a while back why it is that he feels so much better and can sleep better at night if he starts his day spending just 15 minutes outside on his porch swing just sitting in the bright morning sun.

What he noticed is something that scientists and sleep doctors have known for a long time…that pronounced periods of time spent exposed to bright light (real or artificial) contributes to better, more restorative sleep.

As the reader mentioned above asked, why is this do you suppose?

The main reason is that in order to experience the proper sleep cycles and for the optimum amount of time, several things must fall into place such as opportunity, environment, and body chemistry.

We have a good deal of control over much of these elements, such as minimizing stress, having a peaceful environment in which to sleep, and regulating our pre-sleep behaviour to optimize the success of getting to sleep and staying asleep.

However, other than eating right and eliminating the anti-sleep toxins such as caffeine and alcohol, it can be tricky trying to control the inner-workings of the glands in the brain that are the gatekeepers to restful sleep.

Melatonin is a hormone that is critical in regulating the body’s sleep and wake cycles.  The production of this hormone by the pineal gland is affected by light, which is why its levels peak during the night.

It’s kind of a collection of chain links in the production of melatonin, and it starts in the eyes. Light reaching the retina is passed along the nerves to the hypothalamus, then on to the pineal gland.  This impulse is what causes the production of serotonin.

This is why the sunlight on our reader’s face seemed to have so many benefits.  It naturally stimulates the production of a very critical chemical that the body needs for peaceful function.

Serotonin, as many people familiar with depression disorders are acutely familiar with now, is responsible for mood, muscle recovery, sleep patterns, and other processes.   This hormone is then converted to melatonin in the body.

The dance between these two chemicals is seen as a day/night partnership.

As serotonin is used during the day, melatonin is created slowly until evening time, and the melatonin starts its work.  Melatonin works by making you feel drowsy and it gently sooths your body into a natural sleep cycle.

When there is an imbalance or a problem with one or both hormones, you see the problems with sleep disorders such as insomnia.

Problems can be as a result of something we do or don’t do, which is a controllable environmental issue. Examples of this would be like I mentioned above…consuming too much caffeine, drinking alcohol before bed, and even smoking.  All these behaviours introduce chemicals into the body that compete with melatonin.

Problems can be also attributed to what we can’t control, such as the aging process.  Even the healthiest living people will see a reduction in the amount of melatonin their bodies will produce. This is a natural deficiency that occurs with many seniors.

Likewise, not getting proper sleep can affect how well glands in the body function, such as with the pineal gland not producing enough serotonin.  Thus the cycle begins to turn in a different direction and the dance of hormones becomes more of a mosh pit.

Phototherapy, as it is also called, has been used for many years to treat a variety of conditions, and has a tremendous body of evidence to support its use in treating the insomnia and depression that occurs as a result of these deficiencies.

It is administered first thing in the natural waking cycle, which, for most is first thing in the morning. However, as with those who do shift work or are stuck on a submarine for months at a time, it can be administered at any time as long as it’s the same time each 24-hour cycle to simulate the normal wake/sleep patterns of most people.

This stimulates the natural production of serotonin, which leads to a natural use and conversion to melatonin.  Once the body has been treated in this way for even just a few days, it has shown to be very effective at improving the restful nature of a disrupted sleep pattern.

Therapy can range from a few minutes in a tanning bed (not recommended due to UV dangers) to portable lights that sit on the desktop to just a simple break in the morning on a porch swing.

Desk top lights range in the $150-$300 range but are widely available on the Internet and are safer than UV-A and UV-B-packed tanning beds and sunshine.  They can also be used any time of year and the weather doesn’t matter…just plug it in and sit for a few minutes.

However, sunlight is a little more on the “free” side and while it depends largely upon the season and also whether or not you are having clouds and rain, it can be tremendously beneficial in stimulating the serotonin and also valuable vitamin D.

Get Sleep Fast - This Diet May Relieve Insomnia

Those on the look-out for a natural treatment for insomnia may want to focus on their dinner plate, according to research published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. In this study of nearly 6,000 adults, the researchers found that consuming a Mediterranean diet –an eating pattern rich in whole grains, fish, vegetables, olive oil and fresh fruits–reduced insomnia symptoms in women.

The researchers add that the Mediterranean diet was particularly effective against “difficulty maintaining sleep” –a common symptom of insomnia. However, they found no connection between the Mediterranean diet patterns and sleep quality or maintaining sleep.

Get Sleep Fast - Restless Leg Syndrome and a Trio of Great Minerals

I just love the feedback I get with the food articles. A lot of times it’s from folks who have tried the recipes and liked them or have offered their own to make a featured food more interesting.

Today, I thought I’d combine some of the info on three of my favourite minerals with a great bedtime snack recipe to help alleviate a common problem for a growing number of people: Restless Leg Syndrome.

We’ve talked in the past about RLS, but I’ll summarize the problem again briefly. This irritating and sleep-stealing problem occurs when the brain is ready to go to bed but the muscles in the leg are misfiring and still trying to do the day’s work.

It’s like leaving the gate open at the farm after you leave for the day…the critters want to run loose and mayhem ensues.

What causes the gate to be left hanging open? A variety of things are to blame, but the most common (and easily remedied) is a vitamin deficiency.

Doctors have found that people who suffer from RLS almost always are deficient in 3 minerals: calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

This little trio of minerals, when lacking, cause the large muscles of the leg to misfire. There are problems all over the body, and with a lot of systems because of this deficiency, but RLS is sometimes the most noticeable.

Some doctors even consider it an announcement of sorts to other looming problems. Most of which can be corrected simultaneously with the right treatment.

Sometimes doctors will prescribe a powerful magnesium supplement, and that may help…but research actually shows that increasing all three minerals is more effective.

Some ‘natural’ remedies focus on herbs and supplements that can be almost as dangerous as the pharmaceuticals they are meant to replace. This is particularly true if you are not sure what, or how much to take. They can interfere with other medications as well.

So honestly, the best way to try and naturally calm those itchy, twitchy legs is to focus on the trifecta of mineral power, which is to increase all three little wonders at once. And the best way to do that is by focusing on diet adjustments to increase more of the hardest working fruits and other foods.

The recipe below offers a way to use bananas that loads up a healthy dose of potassium, magnesium and calcium.

Try this bedtime snack:

Banana Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole grain flour
1 ½ Table spoon stevia plant sweetener
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg, beaten
1 cup skim milk
¼ cup fat free yogurt
2 Table spoon olive oil
¼ tsp almond extract

Combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix just until moistened all the way through. Let a few lumps stay in the batter. If you want thinner pancakes, add a little water (1/4 cup at a time) until your batter is your favourite pancake consistency.

On a heated griddle (about 300 degrees), spray the surface with non-stick pan spray, such as olive oil spray. Then pour the batter ¼ cup at a time in round, flat dollops. Once the bubbles pop and disappear and the edges get a little dry, flip them over for just a couple more minutes.

Pull them off when they are a nice light golden colour on both sides.

I like mine with more sliced banana, but if you crush about a ¼ cup of blueberries with a tablespoon of water and a sprinkle of the sweetener, it makes a nice substitute for sugary syrup.

You could also throw on a little yogurt and sprinkle with wheat germ to increase the fiber and acidophilus content as well.

For each serving, which is 2 pancakes (plain), you will get less than 225 calories, about 40 grams of carbs, 300 mg of sodium, and 5 grams of fat. There is very little (if any) saturated fat and since the recipe calls for stevia sweetener instead of sugar, you are not overloading on sugar.

The small amount of carbohydrates will help to naturally get your brain ready for sleep and the whole grain in the flour, plus the fiber in the yogurt, will help get you “moving” in the morning.

Get Sleep Fast - Does Snoring Cause Divorce?

I have often been guilty of letting this thought run through my mind when I read some of the commentary related to people asking for help with their snoring issues.

The latest comes from a reader in Alabama who asked me to share her story as not only a caution to others, but also as a reassurance of hope.

Our reader, whom we will call Thea, wrote in to describe the effect that snoring had on her family. She and her husband started out happy enough, with a great marriage, common interests, desire for family, etc.

They had a little house in a suburb outside of Mobile and he had a great job that offered her the chance to live her dream, which was to be a mom in the home for their two children.

After the usual sleep issues that happen to all parents when the kids are small resolved themselves, they sort of got into a good, healthy groove with their sleeping as Thea and her husband were great about keeping a schedule, eating right, getting enough water and all that.

But as time wore on, and as Thea and her husband started to approach 40, they started to gain a little bit of weight, started to show some signs of anxiety (especially as the economy worsened), and started to wander away from their healthy lifestyle.

She blamed the trend on going back to work part time, coupled with the myriad of activities the kids were in along with the travel and time consumption of other daily activities and they started relying heavily on convenience foods and takeout.

She explains that it was about this time that she started snoring and he started the tossing, kicking, and twitching of restless leg syndrome.

Every time she would start sawing logs, he’d wake and nudge her. Every time he would roll over in bed, she’d wake because he’d elbowed her or scratched her on the leg with a toenail.

They were both beginning to suffer the ravages of sleep deprivation, dosing off during the day and getting really snippy with each other and the kids.

So they decided that in order to at least try and get them both some better sleep that they would take turns sleeping in the spare bedroom. Up to this point they hadn’t spent a night apart in 16 years of marriage.

Sleep seemed to be easier to come by with this arrangement, but it was kind of sad for them, she explains. They still loved one another, and still had a good time on vacations, going on dates together or on outings with the kids and still went to church every Saturday evening like clockwork.

She was kind of vague explaining what happened next. “Christian,” she said, “I just don’t know what happened next. It was like someone had been coming in at night and had been stealing parts of our marriage a little bit at a time.”

Before I could even wonder what that meant, she went on to explain it. “We used to be so close, but even after we started sleeping better it seemed like we were a thousand miles away from each other.”

She described that even though on the outside it looked like everything was okay, they both had been harbouring some grouchy sentiment toward one another because they could no longer share a bed.

This took the predictable toll on their sex life, which added even more anxiety. She said, “Two kids, 4 sports, school, church, volunteer activities, work…we never had any opportunities to be alone in a bed together.”

And so the distance progressed, worsened, and stole away more and more of what they had spent 16 years building.

So after about 3 years of this, she discovered he had been having an email relationship with a colleague at work…that wasn’t of a working nature.

To this other woman, he had apparently been lamenting the demise of his physical relationship and seeking solace in this woman’s online companionship.

Once discovered, Thea immediately threatened to file for divorce, but instead got them both into counselling. This turned out to be the changing point of the whole toxic dynamic that had been playing itself out over the past couple of years.

It took a therapist to tell them what they already knew…that they still loved each other and had a lot of wonderful years left in their marriage. They just needed to regularly spend time alone in an intimate setting, which, for most people means a bed.

Even if there wasn’t to be any sex, they knew they had to find a way to sleep together again and start giving each other the critical marital elements of affection, closeness, touch and trust.

But to do this, two very critical issues needed to be corrected- her snoring and his RLS.

They have just started the work required to overcome these sleep problems, but are apparently at least sleeping in the same room again.

So the answer to the question at the beginning is no…snoring doesn’t cause divorce. People cause it. But it can be a catalyst to the unravelling of a relationship if left untreated.

If you or someone you know has a problem with snoring or insomnia related issues, see my guides to treating these conditions the natural way.

This post is from The Insomnia and Stop Snoring Program offers a revolutionary new approach to help people stop snoring. Snoring is not only disruptive to our partners, but it poses health risks as well, especially for those folks who suffer from sleep apnea.

Get You Sleeping Quickly - Hammocks Boost Sleep Quality in Those with Insomnia

The relaxation effects that come from being rocked as a child stay with us as adults –with profound effects on our sleep –reports a group of University of Geneva sleep scientists. The study found that sleeping in a rocking motion –as in a hammock—can make sleeping easier in those with insomnia.

The research also found that hammock sleeping increased the quality of sleep. Those that took a 45-minute nap in a hammock had considerably more N2-stage sleep –a sleep stage that’s particularly restful—than those that slept in a stationary bed.

Get You Sleeping Quickly - Cooling Off the Brain Miracle Cure for Insomnia

Insomnia is a difficult to treat condition that afflicts more than 20 percent of all adults living in the United States. While side effect-riddled treatments like sleeping pills remain the frontline of remedies, they may have to make room for the cooling cap developed by two University of Pittsburgh sleep disorder scientists.

In their study, a group of 24 adults suffering from insomnia were given a cooling cap to wear on their head before going to bed. They found that the cooling cap dramatically boosted sleep quantity and quality –making their sleep similar to that or normal sleepers. More than 75 percent of the cap-wearers reported significantly better sleep –a figure that trumps most sleeping pills on the market today.

Get You Sleeping Quickly - Headaches and Insomnia - The Vitamin C Relationship

I am always intrigued to read up on studies that discuss nutrient deficiencies as this is one area that is such a great controversy, especially as it relates to supplementation.

It is generally known and accepted that many conditions affecting poor health can be prevented and/or treated by simply increasing the amount of a vitamin or mineral that might be lacking.

But what if we go the other way and cause problems because of over-supplementing?

We hear from people all the time who have found themselves as having “hit a wall” with their health. They do everything they think they are supposed to do and no matter how much running, yoga, meditating and veggies they include in their lives, they still have a few conditions that they can’t shake.

A lot of times, the answer lies in the journaling of what is actually being consumed. I was going over the food and supplement records of a friend of mine recently who was complaining that despite many natural interventions, his headache and sleep problem was just getting worse.

Sure enough, on every page there was one entry every day for Vitamin C, among a dozen or so other supplements. Some of the other supplements he was taking included in their proprietary formulas added Vitamin C as well.

If a little does a little good, a lot should do a lot of good, right?

Actually, this is dangerous thinking and was at the heart of the problems he was having with his headaches and sleep.

He was also complaining about low back pain on one side, and thought he might need to visit the doctor about possible carpal tunnel syndrome problems (he had read one of the Blue Heron posts recently about CPS and Arthritis).

I sat and listened to the laundry list of what had been going wrong lately with his health and he was ready to break down and start taking prescription pain medicine for the pain he had in various parts of the body.

As it turns out, he was supplementing with over 5,000 mg every day of Vitamin C.

The USDA recommends that the minimum amount to prevent scurvy should be about 95 mg daily.  Diet generally covers this.

Studies have also shown that a higher intake, closer to about 800-1000 mg has been shown to boost immunity, strengthen blood vessels, and promote optimum cholesterol health. So just think of the conditions you can eliminate when you take 5 times more than the highest recommended intake.

At some point, however, mega doses should be only considered with a licensed medical professional’s advice and never entered into on one’s own.

The body can process and use only so much Vitamin C before the abundance winds up in areas that don’t need it in such high amounts; namely, the brain, intestines, kidneys, adrenal glands, and uterus.

Symptoms of Vitamin C overdose range from very mild with tingling in the hands and fingers to moderate with headache and diarrhoea, and even to severe with kidney stones and miscarriage.

My friend had several kidney stones (thus the back pain), migraines, and insomnia.  The flushing of the skin and the tingling thumbs were not carpal tunnel syndrome…they were symptoms of Vitamin C overdose.

The other piece that complicates the issue is that if one over-supplements chronically with Vitamin C and suddenly stops taking it, withdrawal symptoms can be really bad and include even worse migraine pain along with chest pain, muscle problems, and other bad effects.

My friend and his doctor are getting him started with a plan to wean off the mega-doses of the Vitamin C and hopefully he can see the insomnia disappear almost as soon as soon as the headache problem did- the headaches were gone almost immediately.

The kidney stones, unfortunately, will require a more intrusive level of intervention, but now he knows how to prevent a recurrence.

I am all about treating methods naturally, as you know, but I am also all about reinforcing everything in moderation. Overdoing anything isn’t good, and many times avoiding prescription medication is just a matter of scaling back on something you do too much of…even if it is too much of a good thing.
