It is frustrating and can absolutely be difficult. Then waking up after that struggle and feeling sleep deprived.  I am one of the many affected by it. So there is a few options of how to cope with it. Can live like this, which isnt really an option. Can get medication and have side effects from the medication. Or can search ways that is safe and natural. As well as educate myself how to cope with it. So if you are one of the millions affected with insomnia. Take this journey with me. And hopefully by the end if this article. We will know how to cope better with sleeplessness.

Sleeping or resting is the time the body use to recover from the day. It is to revitalize and help heal your body. But if rest is affected. It is an absolute nightmare. Feeling sluggish and tired all day. Focus isnt as it should be. And in the long run health is affected. So let us look at a few natural home remedies.

Lavender essential oil.

It is not even slightly surprising to see it mentioned as a home remedy. As it has a soothing impact on the body. Calming soothing and relaxing effect. All you need to do is take cotton ball and pour a few drops on the cotton ball. Now massage your forehead and temples before you sleep. The smell of the lavender will be calming and help you to sleep.

Warm milk

Think about the movies you may have seen. That was given to someone that can not sleep. Seems there was some truth in that. It soothes the mind and relaxes the body. Milk helps to enhance and improve health. If you prefer you can add one or two teaspoons honey to your warm glass of link.

Bananas

Bananas is rich in amino acids. That in turn helps to generate and manufacture serotonin. Which basically means that it causes you to feel sleepy. So if you eat one or two bananas before bed it will have a slumbering effect.

Valerian capsules.

If you consider this herb it means that you take a very natural herb that can actually help your mind. but without the side effects of the products that is available. Just take two capsules an hour before bed. 

Passion flower tablets

Passion blossom is another natural herb that can help you to sleep. As it is mid it means that there isnt a risk to using it. It can be taken in pills or capsules. For a good night's rest it is recommended to use 4000mg to 8000mg for a peaceful night's rest. But please take note not to use more than the prescribed amount as it will cause you to oversleep.

These are all natural ways to help you to get the proper rest you need. But now I want to discuss a few things to remember. Habits to be mindful off. 

Phone.

Yes it should not be a surprise that it is mentioned. As it has clearly become a very bad habit for so many. But when it is used to much it decreases the melatonin production in the body, melatonin  helps the body to sleep. Also good to switch the phone off as the light does affect your sleep at night

Foods to be mindful of

As much as we love the sweet and spicy foods. It can cause aggravation for your belly. So you will end up tossing and turning the whole night. When thinking of chocolate then remember just like caffeine it affects your resting receptors. So you end up struggling to sleep.

Smaller meal portions

If you have large meals before bed. You can feel overfull or quite full. For your body 4 hours is considered time needed to be absorbed into the body. so when you eat big meals your stomach has not quite worked with the foods. Keeping you awake. 

Personally. I love lavender essential oil. It is soothing and calming. So I always have some when needed.

These are just a few suggestions to improve your sleeping habits. As well as mine. Thanks for taking this journey with me. If you have any suggestions or comments you want to share. Please comment below.
