The Insomnia Battle

" Who Else Wants To Sleep From Lights Out to Sunrise Without Staring At The Ceiling For Hours - Leaving You Feeling Fresh And Ready To Face A New Day! "

You know you should be asleep. You've dedicated the last three hours in the dark to trying to get some sleep. But you're wide awake. 

The irony is that you swear your eyes were just in pain from remaining open too long, like someone super-glued your eyelids open. You know your bodies tired - yet you can't get a good night's rest. 


You suffer from insomnia. 


Insomnia is one of the most frustrating experiences anyone can go through. Yet 1 out of every 4 people experience some level of insomnia that effects the way they function. 


For a lot of people, if they just knew the little things that they are doing to cause their own insomnia… if they just knew the little, natural things they could be doing to encourage their body to fall asleep…

Who else would give anything to fall asleep mere seconds after the lights turn out?

Going through each day on less than a good night's sleep can make you madder then the mad hatter on national no-hats day. 

And it's even worse if you can't come up with any solid REASON for keeping you from counting sheep jumping a wooden fence. 

You may try resorting to watching some TV until you feel tired. Or pleading to a higher power that you'll just fall asleep this very instant. Or even going so far as to read a book that mentions "Quantum Physics" in the title. 


But nothing seems to work. 


One option is to consult a doctor to see if there may be a deeper cause for your sleepless nights. But before you take such drastic measures, let me tell you this…

Do you remember what it felt like to get a good night's sleep? 

Or was it too long ago? I'm telling you right here and now… 


…that if you just learn a few things about your body and how it works, the type of things I tell you in this report, you can find yourself sleeping like a baby within a few short weeks. Maybe as little as one week. And maybe even tonight. 


For example, did you know that drinking alcohol before bed can actually keep you from getting a good night's sleep? Common knowledge tells us that alcohol should make you drowsy… 

…but if you read my report, you'd know that alcohol has a good chance of interrupting your sleep and causing you to stay awake. 


That's just one of numerous reasons that could be keeping you from waking up relaxed, refreshed, and ready to get outside and enjoy your life. 


The Difference Between Feeling Groggy All Day And Acting With Abundant Energy Is… 


…often in the little decisions you make each day. And usually without even realizing it. 


Maybe you didn't know about the body's circadian rhythym. It's not your fault - most people don't! Most people could sooner deliver a speech on how to end world hunger than mention one detail about circadian rhythm… much less tell you what it is! 


Some things you just forget about… like drinking soda pops before bedtime. The caffeine stirred into those drinks will definitely keep you up. 


My report is here to shed light on information you've simply forgotten about… and bring you new information you've never even heard a thing about before in your entire life. With this information, you will be ready to battle insomnia once and for all. 

This report is not for everyone. The root causes of some persons' insomnia are much deeper, and they should seek a doctor's care. 

But for many of us - the only reason we cannot fall asleep is that we don't recognize all the different ways we can painlessly train our body to get some shut-eye. 


Everything you need to know is in my guide, "The Insomnia Battle" 


If you're dead tired, literally. And if you're dead tired, figuratively, of sitting in bed helplessly trying to fall asleep. Use this opportunity to demand a change from yourself. Retrain your body to fall asleep almost on cue. 


Would you pay $1 for each hour of sleep you wanted each night? Or would you pay just $4 a night to make sure you got 8 hours of sleep and could wake up refreshed the next day? That would cost you $1,460.00 per year!. 


What if you could invest just $7 one time and be on your way to sleeping the night through. That's exactly what I'm offering you. Click the order button below to download "The Insomnia Battle" today and help get some sleep tonight!

How to Relieve Menopause Sleep Problems



In addition to hot flashes and mood swings, many women experience difficulty sleeping as they go through menopause. Night sweats are a frequent cause of poor sleep because women wake up soaking wet and cold. However, some women suffer inexplicable insomnia during their menopausal years. Learn to relieve your menopause-related sleep problems so you can feel rested.

Instructions




    • 1
      Adjust your sleeping environment. Use a ceiling fan with a remote control while you go through menopause. This allows you to control the temperature in your room without ever leaving the bed. Physically getting in and out of bed to control a fan sometimes makes you more alert and keeps you up. When you experience hot flashes and night sweats as you sleep, click the fan "On." As your body cools down and you feel cold, click the fan "Off."
    • 2
      Layer your bedding to prevent sleep problems. Place several layers of sheets or thin blankets underneath you as you sleep. As your body begins to sweat and the sheets feel soaked, simply remove a layer. This ensures that you always have a dry layer of bedding to sleep on and keeps you more comfortable and rested.
    • 3
      Adjust your diet during menopause. Eating spicy foods may cause hot flashes and night sweats. Avoid spicy peppers and spices with a warming effect such as cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Eliminate caffeine from your diet or reduce your daily consumption significantly while you go through menopause.
    • 4
      Exercise regularly when you go through menopause. Regular exercise helps eliminate many menopausal symptoms, including sleep problems. Try to get 30 minutes of moderate exercise each day.
    • 5
      Seek medical help to address your sleep problems. If you suffer from serious insomnia and night sweats that are not getting any better, talk to your doctor. Your doctor might suggest HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, to treat the symptoms caused by menopause.

How to Help a Child with Insomnia


How to Help a Child with Insomnia thumbnail

Just like an adult, a child can suffer from insomnia. This sleep disorder usually appears as difficulty dropping off to sleep or awakening periodically throughout the night. Left unaddressed, insomnia will negatively affect mental and physical development in a child. Follow a few logical steps to cure pediatric insomnia.

Instructions




    • 1
      Take steps to ensure tiredness. Eliminate naps. Make sure the child gets daily exercise. By nightfall there should be no stored-up energy to burn.
    • 2
      Cut down on sugar and grains before bedtime. These snacks raise blood glucose levels. This produces an energy boost that sabotages the goal of sleep.
    • 3
      Eliminate caffeine. It usually comes in the form of tea and cola. Caffeine also shows up in some juice boxes, sodas and sports drinks. The caffeine inhibits a chemical in the brain that promotes sleep.
    • 4
      Quiet the household. Reduce environmental noise that can contribute to insomnia. This includes the din of loud adult conversation, blare of the television and blast from music speakers.
    • 5
      Keep sleep conditions consistent and uncomplicated. If special techniques like music are used to induce sleep at bedtime, the same techniques will be needed later in the night should the child awaken. So keep bedtime conditions simple. The child should fall asleep in silence in his own room and bed.
    • 6
      Talk over troubles. Insomnia can surface when a child is feeling afraid or anxious. Ask plenty of open-ended questions that provide the child an opportunity to express concerns. Help the child work through how to address the situation causing the concern. Support and reassurance will counter the insomnia.
    • 7
      Remove rewards. Parents unintentionally encourage insomnia by providing attention when the child wakes during the night. It often takes the form of snacks or movement of the child to the parents' bed. Any behavior followed by positive consequences is likely to be repeated.

How to Deal With Teenage Insomnia


How to Deal With Teenage Insomnia thumbnail

A teenager that's dosing off during the day may seem normal, but this should be a warning for parents. Their teen may suffer from insomnia. Does your teenager wakes up frequently at night or can't get to sleep at bedtime? The first potential sign for insomnia is a adolescent who is constantly tired all day long.

Instructions



    • 1
      Talk with your teenager about their sleep habits. Trouble falling asleep, wakes often, wakes too early in the morning or feels tired in the morning, he may have insomnia.
    • 2
      Promote healthy exercise during the day. Some teens lack physical activity that helps regulate their body's time clocks.
    • 3
      Make an appointment with a pediatrician. Write down your teen's sleep patterns. Include when he is awake, sleeping and when he seems most tired during the day. Your doctor may use this to determine if he has insomnia.
    • 4
      Keep track of your adolescent's daily life to help the doctor determine if the insomnia is brought on by another medical, physical or mental condition such as depression, asthma, heartburn, alcohol or drug abuse.
    • 5
      Discuss life issues with your teenager. Know what's happening with your adolescent by having regular conversations with them. A leading cause of teenage insomnia is stress from school, work or relationships.
    • 6
      Eliminate any environmental factors in your teenager's bedroom that affects his sleep. Put in dark shades, get rid of noisy radios, keep the temperature regulated.

How to Deal With Insomnia


Insomnia -- the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep -- can impede your daily functioning, health, mood and quality of life. It can occur in isolated incidents and last a few days or weeks, or it can be chronic and last longer than a month. Different situational, physical or psychological factors can cause the sleep disorder. To deal with insomnia and alleviate sleeplessness, you may need to make behavioral, environmental or psychological changes in your life.

Instructions




  1. Changing Routines

    • 1
      Associate your bedroom with sleep and rest and do not multitask in it.
    • 2
      Maintain a consistent schedule and go to bed and wake up around the same time every day.
    • 3
      Wear a sleep mask and try earplugs or a white-noise machine to reduce environmental distractions.
    • 4
      Stop smoking and avoid alcohol, caffeine and a heavy meal before bedtime.
    • 5
      Stay awake during the day and do not nap. By not napping, you will make your body more tired at night.
    • 6
      Exercise during the day or early evening rather than at night. Exercising within three hours of bedtime can keep your body alert and make it harder to fall asleep.

    Reducing Stress

    • 7
      Learn a relaxation technique such as yoga, tai chi, meditation or progressive muscle relaxation. Some people have stress- or anxiety-induced insomnia that keeps them awake at night.
    • 8
      Get out of bed if you cannot sleep and go to a different room to read a book so you can distract yourself from your worries. Keep the lights low, and when you begin to feel sleepy, return to bed.
    • 9
      Keep a daily stress log in which you write down your daily stress triggers, responses and outcomes. By taking notes of your stressors, you can begin to see how you respond to certain situations and eliminate or learn to cope with stress-causing agents.

    Seeking Professional Help

    • 10
       Talk to a licensed therapist about the core issues surrounding your insomnia. Some insomniacs try biofeedback, a behavior modification therapy that can help a person learn to consciously control bodily functions and reduce stress.
    • 11 
      Make an appointment with your medical doctor if you are battling chronic insomnia. Your doctor can give you a checkup to see if you have a physical condition causing insomnia.
    • 12 
      Ask your doctor about over-the-counter or prescription sleep medications. Before you take any sleep aids, be well-informed of potential side effects, risks and interactions with other medications. Any type of sleep medication should be taken under the careful supervision of a physician.

How to Fight Insomnia

Everyone has an occasional sleepless night. Life's daily stressors, major decisions and consuming caffeine too late in the day all contribute to insomnia.


Instructions



    • 1
      Get out of bed if you can't sleep. Lying in bed sleepless will only make you more stressed.
    • 2
      Read or perform a light chore until you feel sleepy. Then try to go back to sleep - or, if you're feeling stressed or agitated, try some relaxation techniques.
    • 3
      Relax by listening to soft music or a meditation tape. Do yoga or gentle stretching.
    • 4
      Take a hot bath with aromatherapy soaps. Keep the lights dim. Bright light will make you more alert.
    • 5
      Try an herbal sleep remedy to induce sleepiness. Valerian, chamomile, catnip, lavender, lime flower, passion flower, hops or skullcap can be taken in tea or capsule form.
    • 6
      Snack on foods high in tryptophan, an amino acid that can help you relax. These include turkey, bananas, figs, dates, milk and tuna.
    • 7
      Essential oils can also help you relax. Add six to eight drops of lavender or marjoram to a bath, or put four drops of oil on your pillow.
    • 8
      Return to bed once you're feeling sleepy and relaxed.



How to Ease Insomnia


How to Ease Insomnia thumbnail












 Insomnia is the inability to effectively fall asleep. It can be caused by anxiety, pain or environmental factors such as a too hot or too cold room. Insomnia can also be the result of medical conditions such as an overactive thyroid gland or tachycardia, where the heart beats unusually fast. Obesity can cause insomnia because being overweight causes difficulty breathing, which is not conducive to sleep. You need to get treatment for your insomnia because extended episodes of poor sleep can lead to conditions such as high blood pressure and daytime sleepiness. This condition can put you at risk when you drive. There are steps you can take to ease insomnia.

Instructions




    • 1
      Visit your doctor. You will need a physical examination to determine the cause of your insomnia. Your doctor might recommend blood tests to check your thyroid function, which if abnormal, could cause nervousness and insomnia. Your doctor will listen to your heart to check for abnormal heart rhythms and will want to take a complete medical history. Tell your doctor if you are suffering from anxiety or pain. Your treatment will depend on the findings of your examination.
    • 2
      Ask about prescription sleep medication. If you experience extended periods of insomnia, ask your doctor about prescription sleep medication. These medications should never be taken on a long-term basis, as they can cause dependency. Side effects include daytime grogginess, confusion, dry mouth and dizziness.
    • 3
      Try aromatherapy. Lavender oil is effective in easing insomnia. Apply a small amount to your pillow to induce calmness and to promote sleep.
    • 4
      Take an over-the-counter sleep aid. Over-the-counter sleep preparations are helpful in easing temporary bouts of insomnia because they induce drowsiness, reports the Mayo Clinic. They are frequently a combination of an antihistamine and a pain reliever such as acetaminophen. Ask your doctor before taking these medications because they can cause side effects such as mental impairment, changes in blood pressure and urinary retention.
    • 5
      Drink chamomile tea. Herbal teas such as chamomile promote relaxation and are an effective alternative to medication in easing insomnia. Taken before bedtime, chamomile will help you feel calm and sleepy.
