It is not the right level of rest and with the different elements of liquor blended in; in fact one may also have stayed up throughout the night regarding the figure.

In different expressions the sleep did not profit the figure or mind whatsoever.

What it is not is it is not a cure. I do not believe there is one there are only temporary fixes. I do believe that you can change your mind set on insomnia and therefore lead a healthier happier life and when insomnia hits give you the coping mechanisms to make it work for you.

Why You Should Never Ignore Insomnia

First, you should never think that insomnia is acceptable and write it off in any way at all. In fact, insomnia can actually be a sign of bigger problems. Insomnia may not be a disease so to speak but it is a condition that in a lot of cases can be treated, especially if it comes on suddenly and there is a medical reason for it. One of the biggest problems is that most people do not ever discuss their insomnia problems with their doctor; therefore they can never be resolved.

So many times, people think that insomnia is a temporary condition, or that it just sounds like you are complaining of a bad night’s sleep, that will go away on its own but it never does, it just gets worse. You could be suffering from anxiety, panic, or depression and may not even be aware of it yet the insomnia could be the symptom of something else. The doctor will try to figure this out and can quite often give you something to make you feel better which will likely leads to you gaining back your sleep.

Insomnia should not be ignored for many reasons. Perhaps it is your medication that is causing this insomnia, or maybe you have a medical condition that has yet to be diagnosed, or maybe you have an emotional condition that you are unaware of. Whatever the reason you can be certain of one thing and that is that there definitely is a reason. Insomnia, especially chronic insomnia is your body’s way of letting you know that something is not right. That said sometimes insomnia is just a part of life and those of us who have had it for a number of years can actually learn to accept it and live with it, learn that it is just a part of you.

If you were to decide to ignore insomnia, eventually your physical health would deteriorate; your mental health would as well. Your performance at work and basically in all that you do will lack the vigor that it once had and you will become irritable and moody with loved ones. This is your body’s way of handling what insomnia is dishing out. One of the major ways for people to remain healthy is to get plenty of rest and eat a well balanced diet so when you are only averaging a couple of hours at best, of sleep per night you will soon feel like you have been hit by a truck. Your mind may even go into a delirious state and your wick will be very short.

This is where mindful living can help and at www.insomnialife.com we give support, advice and tools on living a mindful, well balanced health life as an insomniac. We do not offer you a cure but merely the coping mechanisms and tools to help you lead a healthy life with insomnia being part of it.

If you go and see the doctor so he or she can try and find out what is causing the insomnia, at the very least he will be able to provide you with some medication to help you get some rest. Medications for insomnia have come a long way and they can now be used for a period of up to six months and they no longer have the addictive properties that they once had. In other words, they are now safe to use and they do not leave you feeling lethargic the next morning.

This will help you get some rest but there is no insomnia medicine that can be taken indefinitely so you will have to work in a proactive manner to work with doctors and such to develop a new plan for when the medication period is over. The bottom line is that you do not want to become dependent on anything to fall into a good night’s sleep.

Aside from this and if this is not your ideal answer, as it was not for me, learning to live mindfully using meditation a healthy diet and other elements you can learn to accept your insomnia and almost embrace it at times.

The simple answer to dealing with or curing your insomnia is down to you.

What is insomnia?

What is insomnia? Insomnia is when a person has any sleep related difficulties, in the main this is categorised as trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, or waking up far too early in the morning. Each of these areas of insomnia can be extremely irritating and can affect the way that the rest of our day may play itself out. This is because when we do get up we are still tired and not refreshed from a good nights sleep. Over a period of time people who suffer from insomnia can also tend to develop mood disorders, we can sometimes lack motivation, we have an inability to concentrate, lack normal levels of energy, and can constantly be tired.

All human beings need adequate sleep in order to maintain a healthy and productive life. It has been said the people spend about 1/3 of their lifetimes sleeping. That certainly seems like a lot of time but proper sleep is needed for a healthy human body including the vital organs and the brain. Our brains are really working some magic whilst we are asleep and without sleep the brain begins to lose its ability to function. Which explains a lot for me.

While the amount of sleep that a person gets does not seem to be quite as important as the quality of sleep that they get, the two are still very much related. Insomnia has very grave effect over a period of time, both physical and psychological. Impaired mind functioning, accidents, anxiety and depression, stress, heart attacks, and headaches are common consequences of insomnia. Health can deteriorate as the person gets mentally and physically weaker, becomes more irritable, and develops a wakened immune system that can lead to all kinds of illness.

Sleep occurs in a very unique manner. When it is time for sleep, the retina in the eye sends a message to your brain; your brain in turn sends a message to another part of the brain to produce the hormone melatonin, this in turn causes a drop in body temperature and the person begins to feel signs of sleepiness. While this is going on, the brain starts to deactivate three of the brains chemical messengers that are responsible for keeping one alert, histamine, norephinephrine, and serotonin. So it is very important that the brain gets its rest so that it can function properly on a daily basis.

There are various types of insomnia and various causes and off shooting symptoms as well. Insomnia can be broken up into primary and secondary. Primary insomnia means there is absolutely no medical, physical, or emotional reason for the insomnia. Secondary insomnia means there is a reason for the insomnia is it medical, psychological or physical. Generally, secondary insomnia is treated by a physician and primary insomnia is treated with behavioral therapy. Primary insomnia can also be treated by developing mindfulness, meditation, NLP techniques, hypnotism and more.

The behavioral therapy can often include things such as sleep hygiene, progressive muscle relaxation, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and sleep restriction and scheduling. These have been very successful in treatment centers across the country.

It is imperative that a person get relaxed prior to attempting to go to sleep. Reading a book, watching some TV, or anything relaxing is a great start when attempting to get some sleep but if you lay there and find that you lost all interest in sleeping, get out of bed and do something else until you feel tired again. Laying there, tossing and turning is not going to do anything but make matters worse. I know this is far easier said than done and at times the only thing you want to do when you have insomnia is fall asleep yet that feels so far away. Often at night if I can’t sleep I try and do something that I like doing and I use the time to help me to feel tired.

Why InsomniaLife.com

Ok I like to ask the question why a lot. It means so much when you understand why someone or a company do something or you understand why you should do something. So back 24 hours ago when this site was called www.insomniachat247.com I had a page that described why it was called that. The only problem was that the name was still confusing people, and I can understand why, but in all honesty it was conceived one night when I had a serious lack of sleep and way too much to drink and insomnia chat 247 seemed like a good name. The dream was, and still is, to create a community that is live 24 hours a day 7 days a week so that whenever we can’t sleep we have a like minded person or a person that understands insomnia to talk to.

The thing is with a name like that people assume when joining that that already exists that the number of members or the infrastructure behind the site is robust enough to have a live administrator 24 7. And trust me if I had the money to not need to earn a living (as this don’t pay well) I would just run this site 24 7. But the reality is that I cant.

I had also been reading a lot of negative feedback about how for a chat site of insomniacs there didn’t seem to be a lot of people on etc etc and quite frankly I was getting tired of explaining myself and the situation but then realisation also set in. The site had lost its focus…… it had done so because it never really had one other than as a toy for me and a playground in which to play in but somehow along the way I had created a site that meant something.

So why the name change from insomniachat247.com to www.insomnialife.com ? well a few reasons.

1. I cannot be on the site 24 7
2. The name was causing confusion
3. The site was becoming unfocused and confused
4. And I want to help people lead a good healthy life even with insomnia

I still want it to become a thriving social network and hopefully the forwarding will work for the old domain soon so fingers crossed there. If I have to start from scratch again and get new members then fine. This time round I am taking it more serious J

Love to you all peeps
