Rest Your Body
Insufficient sleep depresses your immune system. Lack of sleep can leave you susceptible to colds, the flu, low energy, weight gain and irritability.
People who are depending on sleep aids, like Ambien, instead of 1) going to bed earlier 2) getting the T.V. out of the bedroom, 3) lowering the stimulus by using low lights or soft music. Even one hour less a night can depress your immune system.
*Make sure you are not running on caffeine to give you energy. Excessive caffeine has serious side effects on your health and sleep.
*You need uninterrupted sleep, in the dark, without noise, music, or T.V., for 8-9 hours.
*Begin by going to bed earlier; read or listen to music with a timer so it turns off after 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour.
*Use your bedroom for sleep and relaxation only. No work. No T.V. No computer.
Avoid Medication
Heartburn medication, laxatives and sleep aids are among the most common drugs used. There are so many natural alternatives which promote health and solve problems. Use those rather than just masking symptoms with drugs.
An irritated gut can lead to gastritis, allergies, skin rashes, autoimmune diseases and decreased absorption of nutrients.
As for sleeping pills, in March 2007, FDA notified health care professionals of its request that all manufacturers of sedative-hypnotic drug products[sleeping pills] strengthen their product labeling to include stronger language concerning potential risks. Common side effects include head and body aches, trouble concentrating, daytime sleepiness and rebound insomnia.
More severe risks includes progressive severe allergic reactions, severe facial swelling, complex sleep-related behaviors, memory lapses, and hallucinations. Sleep-related behaviors may include sleep-driving, driving while not fully awake after ingestion of a sedative-hypnotic product, with no memory of the event. Source: FDA News Release 2007.
All over the counter and prescription drugs have side effects. The side effects can vary depending on the specific drug, the dosage and how long the drug lasts in your system.
Everyone needs a natural doctor, a chiropractor to provide nutritional advise, suggest effective exercise, healthy alternatives to drug therapy and healing hands to amplify your nervous system's function.
