Sleep disorders such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, afflict well in excess of 100 million people. Insomnia is a very common symptom of depression and also a risk factor for becoming depressed.
Insomnia, whether chronic or occasional, may be defined as:
Difficulty falling asleep Waking frequently during the night Waking too early in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep Waking feeling unrefreshed
Insomnia affects hormone levels, accelerates ageing, and increases the risk for serious disease.
The top underlying causes of sleep disorders include:
Stress: All types of negative emotions, including worry, fear, anxiety, etc., can keep you up at night
Overactive adrenals: Increased levels of stress hormones in your body can lead to a hyper-aroused state that makes it difficult to sleep.
Eye problems: People with damage to the optic nerve can have problems sleeping, including difficulty falling asleep, waking up at strange times, sleepiness during the day and insomnia at night.
EMF Disturbances: Using a cell phone before bed could cause insomnia, headaches and confusion, and may also cut your amount of deep sleep, interfering with your body‘s ability to refresh itself. Additionally you may have an improperly wired bedroom with unshielded wires or you might have a point source of high EMFs such as a refrigerator on the other side of your bedroom wall. Magnetic fields are not blocked by walls and it will go right through them. It is always better to find non medication remedies for sleep disturbances. All sleep medications have unwanted side effects, and can result in dependence.
Holistic energy therapy enables people to experience deeper more refreshing sleep.
