Insomnia – don’t put up with sleepless nights…

Sleep is as essential to us as food, air and water. To have a phase in your life when your sleep patterns are disturbed and irregular is not uncommon. Many people suffer with insomnia, although problems are more prevalent in women, the ill, the elderly, smokers and alcoholics. Whilst insomnia is not an illness and not life-threatening, it can be distressing, exhausting and depressing. There are a number of causes of Insomnia, from something as innocent as sleeping on an uncomfortable bed or mattress, or maybe it is stress related, as an example finding yourself in an unhappy relationship. If your Insomnia does not fade away by itself then you should seek assistance before it starts to produce health and life style issues, for you and possibly those around you. Often Insomnia is an indication of an issue in your life that needs to be addressed. If it is persistent then discussions with your doctor maybe recommended.

There are broadly two types of Insomnia….

(i) Chronic insomnia, which can last from a few weeks to months or even years, and

(ii) Transient insomnia, the more common  which usually lasts from two or three nights, up to a week, and is normally stress-related.

Insomnia can take one or more of the following forms:

• difficulty falling asleep – more common amongst young people

• sleeping lightly and restlessly, waking often and lying awake in the middle of the night – more common with people over 40, or

• waking early and being unable to get back to sleep – more common in older people, or people who are worried about something in particular

Are you Experiencing Any Symptoms?

The symptoms of insomnia can include:

• Tiredness during the day

• Frequent headaches

• Feeling tired and not refreshed on waking

• Being able to sleep better away from home

• Taking longer than 40 minutes to fall asleep

• Waking repeatedly during the night

• Waking too early and being unable to get back to sleep

• Being unable to sleep without alcohol or sleeping tablets

What is Insomnia?

Insomnia is a condition that is caused by something else, and often by something that you are totally unaware of. The Elite triple therapy treatment has proven itself to be a very successful method of treatment for insomnia, and in most cases makes the use of sleeping tablets redundant.

Treatment for Insomnia in Spain or Online

From the Mayo Clinic.

Changing your sleep habits and addressing any issues that may be associated with insomnia, such as stress, medical conditions or medications, can restore restful sleep for many people. If these measures don’t work, your doctor may recommend cognitive behavioral therapy, medications or both, to help improve relaxation and sleep.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CAT-I) can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and actions that keep you awake and is generally recommended as the first line of treatment for people with insomnia. Typically, CBT-I is equally or more effective than sleep medications.

The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. It can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. It may also involve eliminating the cycle that can develop where you worry so much about getting to sleep that you can’t fall asleep.

The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well. Strategies include, for example:

• Stimulus control therapy. This method helps remove factors that condition your mind to resist sleep. For example, you might be coached to set a consistent bedtime and wake time and avoid naps, use the bed only for sleep and sex, and leave the bedroom if you can’t go to sleep within 20 minutes, only returning when you’re sleepy.
• Relaxation techniques. Progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback and breathing exercises are ways to reduce anxiety at bedtime. Practicing these techniques can help you control your breathing, heart rate, muscle tension and mood so that you can relax.
• Sleep restriction. This therapy decreases the time you spend in bed and avoids daytime naps, causing partial sleep deprivation, which makes you more tired the next night. Once your sleep has improved, your time in bed is gradually increased.
• Remaining passively awake. Also called paradoxical intention, this therapy for learned insomnia is aimed at reducing the worry and anxiety about being able to get to sleep by getting in bed and trying to stay awake rather than expecting to fall asleep.
• Light therapy. If you fall asleep too early and then awaken too early, you can use light to push back your internal clock. You can go outside during times of the year when it’s light outside in the evenings, or you can use a light box. Talk to your doctor about recommendations.
