Help for Sleep Disorders Naturally
Sleep... Ahhh a time when our body has the opportunity to cease engagement and has time for restoration and repair.
During this time of conscious brain activity being fully or partially suspended, a state that contributes to restoring and maintaining emotional, mental and physical health follows. There are two states of sleep: REM and Non REM. Dreams take place during REM and it is where the deeply subconscious state contributes to much healing and repair and restoration occurs.
Non REM sleep is in three stages.
Age plays a huge factor in normal sleep patterns.
Newborns need between sixteen to eighteen hours of sleep a day, preschoolers need ten to twelve hours,
school age children and teenagers need nine or more hours.
Because the deeper sleep diminishes as an individual ages, older adults experience more difficulty getting to sleep and staying asleep. At a time when people need more reparative and restorative sleep, they actually receive less.
Some of the most common sleep disorders including insomnia, (difficulty getting to and staying asleep), sleep apnea, (where breathing may stop or be blocked for brief periods during sleep), sleep deprivation (not getting enough sleep), restless leg syndrome (an uncontrollable need to move legs at night, at times accompanied by tingling or other discomfort), Narcolepsy (a central nervous system disease that results in daytime sleepiness and other issues, including loss of muscle tone and more), and problem sleepiness (when daytime sleepiness interferes with regular responsibilities, such as working or studying).
In addition, sleeping disorders can cause a myriad of other physical and emotional disorders such as poor digestion, weight gain/obesity/grogginess, decreased focus, concentration, memory problems, irritability and frustration. Other mood challenges are heart disease, compromised immune system and others.
