Is this You? 

Maybe you can relate to why people reach out to me for help. Some have already tried different advice and even medications, but they are still tossing and turning, or waking up in the middle of the night, struggling to get back to sleep.

A few people get frustrated and angry; at themselves, and their inability to solve the situation on their own.

Others get worried: “How long will this go on for?” “Will I ever be able to sleep well again?”

Well whatever your situation is like, I’m happy to tell you that it can be very easy to sleep well – once you know how.

Reason #1 

The body is lacking in melatonin production and is not producing enough sleep hormones.

There are 50 hormones in the body, and 5 of them are needed for good sleep. Hormones are chemical messengers that act as messenger molecules in the body and are responsible for maintaining bodily functions such as:

  • Hunger, appetite, and blood sugar
  • Circadian rhythm and your sleep-wake cycle
  • Sexual function
  • Body temperature
  • Cardiovascular function
  • Muscle and tissue repair

The 5 hormones that are vital for a good night’s sleep and a fully functioning body are Melatonin, Progesterone, Estrogen, Testosterone and Cortisol.

 

Reason #2 

The individual is having disruptive thoughts and emotions which are interfering with the rest and relaxation process.

If you feel that you are too busy to give yourself a proper break, or maybe you feel that you want to solve a few issues before you relax, then think again. Practicing relaxation techniques has many benefits, such as:

  • Slowing heart rate
  • Lowering blood pressure
  • Slowing breathing rate
  • Improving digestion
  • Controlling blood sugar levels
  • Reducing activity of stress hormones
  • Increasing blood flow to major muscles
  • Reducing muscle tension and chronic pain
  • Improving focus and mood
  • Improving sleep quality
  • Lowering fatigue
  • Reducing anger and frustration
  • Boosting confidence to handle problems

 

Reason #3 

The circadian rhythm is damaged by allowing the life style disturb the natural sleep cycle.

The circadian rhythm aligns our sleep and wakefulness with day and night9 to create a stable cycle of restorative rest that enables increased daytime activity.

Chronobiology is the study of circadian rhythms – the physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. These natural processes respond primarily to light and dark and affect most living things, including animals, plants, and microbes.

Research shows that these internal clocks play a vital role in virtually all systems of the body:

  • Metabolism and weight 
  • Blood sugar and cholesterol
  • Mental health
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.
  • Immune system
  • DNA repair
  • Cancer prevention

The key to good sleep

You too can wake up refreshed after a good night’s sleep. All you need to do is to go back to some basics.  Here is how.

It is simple to sleep well 

Our body needs a few simple things to function well but all too often we sabotage the process. Our modern life provides us with unnatural solutions and we fall for these shining options. 

When in reality the sleeping system relies on an old fashioned peaceful attitude, nutrition dense foods and plentiful restoration. None of which is either fun nor cool.

Stop sabotaging your system 

Very often the modern and driven person can’t be bothered to follow the fuddy-duddy sleep boosting formula. He or she believes that they have a healthy enough lifestyle, when they are actually cutting essential corners in order to be sleeping well.

Some hopeful people actually don’t believe they have time to sleep and sabotage the well tuned sleep system by ignoring the signals the body sends.

 

Even in well-rested people, NAPS can improve performance in areas such as reaction time, logical reasoning and symbol recognition.

Want to Sleep Better Soon?

You don’t need to struggle much longer with your sleep problem, there are some simple steps you can take.

The 3 important keys for good sleep 

There is a simple explanation to why you are not sleeping well; one or more of your Sleep Essentials is not taken care of properly.

In order to get the restorative sleep you are looking for, you must fix all 3 essential sleep areas.

Make sure to take care of the 3 Sleep Essential areas for a good night's sleep.

1 – Physical Sleep Essentials 

Your body needs to run like a well oiled machine in order to produce enough sleep hormones. But in this case the oil is the beverages that you drink and the foods that you eat. 

Surely, you know how to eat well by now, so make sure not to cheat your body of full spectrum nutrition and healing beverages.

It turns out that many people think that they eat well, but it turns out that they are sadly mistaken and in actuality are cheating their body of crucial nutrients.


Getting good sleep can reduce your risk of developing chronic illnesses, keep your brain healthy, and boost your immune system.

2 – Emotional Sleep Essentials 

It is important that thoughts and emotions are not interfering with the sleep cycle. This pertains to the time right before sleep, as well as the time spent sleeping.

So find a good way to calm your thoughts and feelings for the night. The method I have used in my practice since 2009 is Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT-tapping. It is a holistic method, which calms both the mind, body, thoughts and emotions all at once. In addition, it has an unusually good and lasting effect.

 

3 – Habitual Sleep Essentials 

What kind of sleep routine do you have? You might have heard that the blue computer light interferes with the sleep hormone melatonin, but did you know that by not paying attention to your circadian rhythm, you might have damaged the natural ebb and flow of sleep vs wakefulness.
 
Your body sends slight signals to let you know when it needs sleep. Unfortunately most people don’t pay attention to these gentle signals and press on with their “important” activities such as being active on social media, watching TV or having some private time once the children have gone to bed.
 
The less we follow our natural signals, the more chaotic the internal communication becomes between our will and the neurological signals. The less importance we give sleep, the more trouble we end up having when we finally decide to go to bed.
