4 Simple Cures for Insomnia


So you are looking for simple cures for Insomnia, well I have 4 of them. When you can't sleep correctly your body suffers from it. Your performance at work drops. Your competitive edge drops back as well.

The majority of people suffer from various types of insomnia. The first and foremost problem is difficulty falling asleep, then we have waking up frequently, disrupting night mare is another common lack of sleep complaint, and most people will try napping during the day to recoup their sleep loss but it rarely works because the same pattern just repeats itself night after night.

So not only are these cures for insomnia simple but all natural. Instead of medication your body needs melatonin which is a natural hormone found in the body and certain foods. It's known mostly for enhancing sleep and relieving travel exhaustion otherwise know as jet-lag. Some scientist even associate it with slowing down the aging process, but lets focus on the matter at hand here.

The pineal gland is in the center of your brain and is responsible for the production of Melatonin. Most people become stressed and this slows down the Melatonin production. So to increase it we should:

1)Spend more time outdoors. Natural sunlight actually helps the body produce melatonin. During the winter we are couped up inside our homes or office buildings and for most people this is when insomnia kicks in. The shorter days and cold drive us indoors away from natural light. So spend at least a minimal of one hour in direct sun light everyday.

2) Get at least an hour of exercise a day for the body to boost its Melatonin levels. The increase of Melatonin production from exercise alone could be as high as tripled, in the body.

3) Eat food high in melatonin. These could include: oats, brown rice which are not only high in melatonin but the carbs will trigger an insulin spike and help release other sleep induction chemicals. Other food with the naturally occur recovery hormone are bananas, apples, chicken livers and various seeds.

4) Last but not least warm milk. Now when I first heard of this I thought it was a regression back to infant-hood and falling a sleep with a warm bottle of milk. Warm milk actually releases serotonin which is another naturally occurring sleep hormone.

Added bonus.

So you want to make sure you are going to get some sleep tonight here is a quick simple recipes for a midnight snack of melatonin rich foods. One bowl of oatmeal, add bananas, and cherries, and a cup of milk microwave for a minute or so, stir and enjoy a quick healthy midnight snack that is guaranteed to help you fall asleep.
