Sleeping pills are the instant relief for lack of sleep of course. But some insomnia specialists consider sleeping pills to be over prescribed because they don’t actually address the cause of insomnia. Although, there are short term insomnia that can be addressed by sleeping pills.

There are however alternative self help methods that help cure insomnia. So, if you or a friend is suffering from sleepless nights, below are some of the tips to have a good nights’ sleep, naturally.

Try putting stress to sleep. Stress is a major factor for insomnia that hit you. Though it’s everywhere, just try to manage it by the technique called relaxation response. Find a quiet place where you could lie or sit comfortably.

Focus your attention to each body part while breathing normally. Feel the relaxation spreading from your feet, thighs, stomach, chest, hands, neck, shoulder and head. As you do this, there might be a feeling of warmth inside you. Take a few moments to concentrate on how each body part is relaxed.

Before bedtime, it is also recommended to take a high-carbohydrate snack such as bread, or crackers to increase the brain chemical promoting sleep called serotonin.

Did you also know that sunlight has a major effect in regulating melatonin, a brain chemical that controls body temperature?

Too little exposure to sunlight can cause insomnia since normal rhythms in body temperature can create normal sleep. If there is difficulty falling asleep, an early morning sun is all you need.

Open the drapes upon awakening and avoid dark sunglasses in the morning. But if you wake up early in the morning, you need more of the late day sunlight.

Take a late afternoon walk or sit near a sun exposed window an hour before sunset and leave the drapes open until dark.

Interesting huh? So, before you pop up those potentially addictive sleeping pills to help you doze off, try the natural remedies first.

Pregnancy complaints

Please don’t mix up pregnancy problems and pregnancy complaints. They are far from being the same and the only thing common to them is that they happen during pregnancy.

Pregnancy problems will not be discussed here as they are major problems that must be dealt by a physician and must be addressed real quick in order to prevent further pregnancy complications. These are disorders that pose a danger to the mother and to the baby like diabetes and hypertension.

For pregnancy complaints, like nausea, backache, cramps, rashs and insomnia, there are available self help solutions that are proven to be scientifically effective.

Almost all pregnant women experience nausea specially on their first trimester. This is because of the raging hormones that has been stirred with the formation of the new human being inside the womb. For a quick relief, try ginger tea to warm the digestive tract and improving sluggish digestion.

There are already available ginger powder at supermarket stalls. Better use the sugar free type. Dandelion has also been found to relieve morning sickness. It sweetens the sour feeling, calms and soothes the stomach. You may steep dried dandelion root in a quart of boiling water for 4 hours and drink it like tea.

For heartburn, almonds can come in handy. You may eat at least 15 nuts for snacks in a day. There is a natural chemical in almonds that helps tone the sphincter so that acid stays in the stomach.

Insomnia happens when a pregnant woman is low in protein. They wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back to sleep because they are hungry. It is advised that they keep a snack handy at their bedside like a banana, almond or a fruit yogurt.

To banish back pain, there are exercises that a pregnant woman can do safely to help relieve the back muscles of the strain caused by the increasing weight of the womb. But only do this is you are not on the high risk category of your pregnancy. To elongate the lower back, try the pelvic tilt.

To do this, get down on your hands and knees and round your back while holding your abdominal muscles. Continue to breathe while holding this position for a count of ten. Release by flattening your back. You can continue doing this even after delivery since backaches can last long even after delivery.
