Is it hard to fall asleep? Do you wake up during the night and then have a hard time falling back to sleep? Do you feel tired when you wake up and not rested?
If you experience any of these – you have a problem with INSOMNIA.
Insomnia usually becomes a medical problem between the ages of 40 to 70 and is more common in females than males.
Many times the cause is unknown. In my 45 plus years of clinical experience I have discovered that the cause is multi-factorial.
Among them are:
- The food you eat, particularly sugar and carbohydrates
- Stress either related to personal or interpersonal
- Electronics: TV, cellphone, lap top
- Late supper or late snacks
- Adverse reaction from prescription medications, the 4th leading cause of death
- Bedroom not dark enough
- Unrecognized glandular malfunction, particularly the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, hormonal axis disruption
Your insomnia may make you:
- Tired and lacking in energy
- have difficulty focusing and remembering things
- experience hot flashes
- have a hard time losing weight
- moody, anxious or depressed
- to have decreased muscle strength and increased joint pain
- have reduced sexual desire or performance
INSOMNIA – The root cause of many diseases and ailments associated with:
- Aging
- Obesity
- Pre-diabetic
- Type 2 diabetes
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Unable to cope – stress overload
- Heart Disease
- Cholesterol related problems
- Hypertension
A contributing reason why insomnia is traditionally a psychiatric diagnosis and the psychiatric treatment is usually a series of trial and error methods using drugs is because of the failure of the medical community to not recognize that insomnia is a symptom, not a disease.
Insomnia is like the tip of an ice burg of underlying complex hormonal imbalances.
