What’s the best treatment For Insomnia?
For the past few weeks I’ve been having trouble falling asleep. Once I’m asleep it’s fine but it’s taking me hours to get to sleep.
I’ve always been able to sleep so I’m not sure what’s causing my insomnia. I’m not majorly worried about anything but I think it might be because my brain seems to go into overdrive and I cant help thinking about lots of random things.
Are there any tricks/treatments I could use which have worked for you?
I got the same challege!!
I find that when I do plenty of Physical activity during my day I sleep much better!!

A Woman’s Guide to Sleep: Guaranteed Solutions for a Good Night’s Rest $0.99 How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Five? Six? None? You’re not alone. Most women get far less sleep than they need — in any given month more than half report symptoms of insomnia. Women’s sleep problems are different from men’s because they have a different biology, psychology, and sleep patterns. A Woman’s Guide to Sleep is the first book to address your unique needs, and offer proven solutions that work.Your sleep is affected by many factors. Fluctuating hormones — whether it’s PMS, pregnancy, or menopause — can wreak havoc on your sleep. If you’ve just given birth, you stand to lose 700 hours of sleep your baby’s first year! The “architecture” of your sleep changes as you age, and you might find yourself suddenly waking hours off schedule. Health problems that affect women disproportionately, such as depression and pain syndromes, also erode healthy sleep. What you eat — or don’t eat, if you’re dieting — can sabotage your nights, as can that nightcap you have. And social pressures — juggling work, home, and parenting — can fill your nights with anxiety instead of restful sleep. These unique problems require unique solutions. Dr. Joyce A. Walsleben, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the NYU School of Medicine, and Rita Baron-Faust, a leading writer for women’s health issues, explain how sleep problems arise and how to combat them with the right sleep-promoting foods, supplements, exercise, stress reducers, and biorhythm adjustments, as well as with prescription, over-the-counter, and alternative treatments. You’ll learn to avoid the sleep robbers hidden in many common foods, medications, andsupplements. Drawn from Dr. Walsleben’s more than twenty years as a sleep researcher and clinician, many of these solutions are simple, surprising, and low-tech — and they really work.This book also tells you how to get a good night’s sleep when your partner is the one tossing |

Anxiety in Health Behaviors and Physical Illness $54.21 Anxiety in Health Behavior and Physical IllnessEdited by Michael J. Zvolensky, University of Vermont Jasper A. J. Smits, Southern Methodist UniversityWhile the links between physical illness and depression have been well-documented and analyzed, little has been made of the data relating physical illness to anxiety—until now.

Over forty experts examine reciprocal roles of anxiety and medical illness as causal or exacerbating factors in each other’s onset and development, describe forms of anxiety typical to major disease entities, discuss common health behaviors as they impact anxiety, recast anxiety disorders as chronic illness, and identify patients for whom new forms of treatment may be warranted.Among the topics covered:Anxiety in the context of specific illness: heart disease, asthma, HIV/AIDS.Self-medication across the anxiety disorders: alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs.Possible links between anxiety and insomnia.The relationship between puberty and adolescent anxiety.Anxiety, anxiety disorders, and the menstrual cycle.Anxiety disorders and chronic pain.Current and emerging treatments for anxiety disorders, from CBT to exercise-based interventions.Anxiety in Health Behavior and Physical Illness is a comprehensive resource to be read not only by clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and, other health professionals, but also by researchers and graduate students on the cutting edge of the field. |

Combating Sleep Disorders $35 Approximately 70 million people in the United States are affected by a sleep problem. About 40 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders, and an additional 20-30 million are affected by intermittent sleep-related problems. However, an overwhelming majority of sleep disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated. Some of the most common ones are insomnia, restless legs syndrome, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, excessive daytime sleepiness, night terrors, sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, and narcolepsy. Long standing sleep disturbances can lead to nonproductive lifestyles, poor work performance, weight gain, difficulty with concentration, and social avoidance. Some disorders, like sleep apnea, can lead to even more serious problems such as high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Therefore, there is an urgent need for this introduction to the subject of sleep disorders.Chapters include information on symptoms and problems that signal a possible sleep disorder, descriptions of sleep loss effects and their demographics, definitions of common sleep disorders, explanations of various medical and psychological tests for sleep disorder diagnosis, essential medical treatments, guided intervention to change thinking about sleep and related health habits, alternative interventions, follow-up and maintenance issues, and behavioral changes. Appendices include a list of accredited sleep laboratories and resources, suggested readings, and suggested exercises and activities. |
