Insomnia

Millions suffer with insomnia or problems falling sleep every night. Many reach for over the counter sleep aids to get to sleep but over the past four decades, I have never had to rely on sleeping aid and for that I am thankful.  Psalm 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep. 

Good sleep is a gift from God. It is available to all and if you are having problems falling asleep, you should know that unencumbered sleep can be yours and hear are some mental and physical keys.

Mental keys:-
Stop worrying
Pray
Talk about what's bothering you
Meditate
Listen to music/ocean waves
Ask for help when you need it
Stop counting sheep, instead count your blessings (This really works for me)


Physical keys:-
Exercise
Eat right
Avoid eating 3 hours before bedtime
Darken your bedroom
Aromatherapy:- Use lavender essential oil
Get a massage
Take a warm bath/shower
Drink Chamomile or Passion Flower tea

A natural sleeping aid is Melatonin. As little as 0.1 to 0.3 milligrams may be enough to aid in sleeping.

Contact your physician if and when necessary.    All info is for informational purposes only. Sleep well.!!!!
