Overcoming Insomnia - Cures For Lack of Sleep
Lack of sleep is so common now. Yes it has been around for a long time, but now so many suffer from not sleeping, not sleeping well or waking up and not going back to sleep. Our lives have changed. there is less physical work in our workplaces, more demand on our time and more inputs that are fast and hard for our bodies and minds to assimilate - modern technology being the big one.
Sleep is crucial for good health. And this type of sleep for good health helps us live longer, no question. It is the body’s way of both going over the day - dreams and night time emotions while we sleep - and rejuvenating both chemically and physically to ready us for the new day. Lack of sleep leads to us showing negative emotions such as grumpiness, restlessness, lack of concentration and simply not being effective in the day. And of course this leads to conditions in our work, family and well-being going downhill. It so simple to think that tonight I will get a good sleep, and all will be well tomorrow, which is good if this is one night a year. If you are reading this, that is not happening for you, you are here for a solution.
Insomnia - lack of sleep or lack of good sleep - is a pattern. You do not need to go through life experiencing this. The drivers leading to insomnia can be varied and they can stack on top of each other making it hard for us to find or notice which drivers lead to bad sleeping patterns. Behavior can help considerably in this area. Resolving things with those around us, working through things constructively ourselves, taking time to be silent and quiet and breathe deeply before going to bed are some.
Flower essences have the ability to bring to light the drivers behind our negative patterns, allowing us to work through them. They help us resolve the underlying stresses that keep us from sleep providing longer term relief. When taking flower essences for sleep it is important to be consistent, making it a daily routine until things resolve for you. If there is a deeper trauma* or situation in your life that is keeping you from sleep an essence that focuses on life trauma or stress may be more important. The easy way to decide on this is; are you feeling overwhelmed and find it hard to cope during the day - look toward resolving the greater trauma or stress first, or are you restless at night more than the day - use a sleep essence or remedy.
*Note that if you are feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope, it is very important to seek help from your doctor or other qualified health professionals. Flower essences are a complimentary treatment and not a replacement for professional help and treatment.
