Sleep Solutions

There is nothing like a refreshing night's sleep to leave you feeling good about yourself, positive, energetic and ready to face the world. But how often do you actually achieve this?

Good quality sleep is an important and necessary part of a healthy life. It has a beneficial effect on the efficient functioning of our mind and body, and on the quality of your life.

Tiredness is linked to poor health and a poor quality of life. Sleepiness can cause bad judgement, failure to perform well, lack of concentration, poor memory and immune system deficiency, causing increased susceptibility to infection and illness. It can cause accidents, stress, nervousness, irritability, sadness, anger, despair, hopelessness. It can make your features look older, troubled and haggard, your hair and skin to look dull and your body to stoop. All in all, sleep problems are bad news.

There is not much medical information relating to sleep disorders, so doctors cannot help much, other than prescribing sleeping tablets, which eventually interfere even more with sleep quality, making you feel worse.

So what can you do about it? You can take responsibility for your own health and find out more about what sleep is all about, and what you can do to get plenty of good quality, restful, re-energising, rejuvenating and healthy sound sleep.

You may already have a general idea of what keeps you awake - depression, worry, illness, noise, snoring, heat, cold, alcohol, smoking, caffeine, eating late, feeling hungry, no exercise, too much exercise, thirst, nightmares, too much light, uncomfortable bed, stress, pain, medication. Some of you may be able to add to the list.

Whatever causes your sleep problem, there is a lot that you can do to solve it and get a restful night's sleep without suffering in silence or resorting to medication.
