CONCLUSION

Insomnia is a common problem, especially with individuals who are suffering from pain or illness. Insomnia has been shown to be associated with a variety of health problems, including reduced functioning of the immune system, increased irritability, increased pain, difficulties with concentration and weight gain.

Fortunately, there are many effective treatments for insomnia. Some of the treatments rely on medications, while others involve the use of a variety of self-management techniques. Recent research has shown that self-management techniques for controlling insomnia in some cases can work even better than approaches using medications.

After dealing with many stressful situations during the day, you are eager to get home and rest. But when you crawl into bed you face an-other dilemma-you can't sleep. Frustrated, you toss and turn for almost an hour, only to fall into a fitful sleep. By morning you feel worse than you did the night before.

Sleeping, like all other body functions, is a natural 'program' that our own inner computer, our subconscious mind, runs - which means it can be restored very easily with natural means.   Insomnia is just a temporary program that runs while we are feeling overly stressed or fatigued, and so with some minor changes, natural sleep can replace it again very easily.

Sleeping is one of our most basic, natural and instinctive functions we possess, yet due to stress and problems in our lives, this program can become interrupted and prevent us from sleeping properly, deeply, or sometimes even at all.

It can be extremely frustrating to be so tired that you want to sleep but just can’t. The added stress just adds to the sleeplessness causing a vicious cycle.

By paying close attention to your daily life and identifying the reasons why you are unable to sleep, you will be on the way towards a more restful night along with rejuvenating sleep. Taking some steps toward self-healing is well within your power.

If you try the self-help techniques outlined in this book and still get no relief from insomnia, go see your doctor. He or she will be able to assist you with some medications that will combat your sleep problem and get you on the road to dreamland.

If you have insomnia, all hope is not lost. You can overcome it with some personal reflection and a little work. Then you can enjoy sleeping through the night and waking feeling rested and refreshed.
