Got Insomnia? Check out and share my Huffington Post article with friends and loved ones who suffer from sleep deprivation. You'll both be glad you did! -
Do yousuffer from insomnia or sleep deprivation? Do you know someone who does? Sleep deprivation is affecting millions of people every night, and is a leading cause of health issues like obesity, heart disease and Diabetes.
Sleeping pills are among the most widely prescribed medications today. As Dr. Oz points out, when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, this is not good news. According to researchers, a good night’s sleep includes peaks and valleys, transitions from light sleep to deep, or “R.E.M.” sleep. A sleeping pill just makes you crash. Boom. That’s it – no variance from light to R.E.M. at all, which is absolutely crucial to replenishing brain cells and waking up feeling rejuvenated.
Brace yourself! The most commonly reported sleep medication side effect, in addition to dependency, is sleep binging. Users sleep walk to their refrigerator and consume everything in it, while sound asleep. And even worse, a reported “side effect” is sleep driving while still in dream land. Sleep drivers wake up to the real life nightmare of having just crashed their cars in their sleep. When Kerry Kennedy, the ex-wife of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and daughter of the late senator, Robert F. Kennedy, was arrested for drugged driving last summer after having crashed her car, she told a police officer she might have mistakenly taken an Ambien instead of her daily thyroid medication. The toxicology report confirmed the presence of a sleep medication in her blood the day of the accident. Kennedy plead not guilty to driving while ability impaired.
The most important minutes of your day: Research shows that our minds are the most open the first and last few minutes of the day, when we are transitioning from consciousness to subconsciousness and vise versa. These are invaluable times to program our minds with positive thoughts, images, affirmations and meditations. Ironically, most people start their day with blaring buzzers and tuck themselves in at night with the negative news on TV or with the stimulating glare from their electronic devices. If you don’t want your subconscious mind to have you tossing and turning all night, then it is best to steer clear of the negative noise and e-energy before bedtime.
I partnered with Psychoneurologist, Dr. Sylva Dvorak to find research-based, safe and natural sleep solutions, without the risky side effects of sleep medications. Aromatherapy is one of the many enjoyable, safe and natural ways to relax your body for a good night’s sleep. Rub a few drops of essential lavender oil on your feet before going to sleep. Essential lavender oil is known for its relaxing properties. Chamomile is another calming essential oil which can be used in this way, as well. As an alternative, you can sprinkle a drop or two of the essential oil onto your pillow, or rub it into your temples before closing your eyes. Some people prefer to spray their bedrooms lightly with a lavender mist. Most health food stores carry essential oils and testers, so you can test them for yourself and see which one feels most relaxing for you. As an added bonus, you and your bedroom will smell wonderful!
Enjoy falling asleep and sleeping well through the night!
