Make A Change In Your Life

Are you one of those individuals having problems to fall asleep? Or do you wake up at night, look at the clock, it’s 3:00 am and you can’t fall back asleep? Why are these problems occurring? And why are you suddenly awake? You feel tired enough but, but there’s something wrong and you can’t understand why?

Insomnia is one of the biggest problems facing the country right now. The latest research on insomnia has shown that 48% of Americans report insomnia occasionally, while 22 percent experience insomnia every or almost every night. Women are 1.3 times more likely to report insomnia than men. People over age 65 are 1.5 times more likely to complain of insomnia than younger people. Divorced, widowed and separated people report more insomnia. Meaning that 78% of the population has faced the awful condition of insomnia. In these stressful times, nearly 80% of the U.S. population complains of disturbed sleep patterns, according to a survey by the National Sleep Foundation, and sales of sleep medications are on the rise, approximately 56,287,000 prescriptions were dispensed last year, a 0% increase since 2007, data from IMS Health show.

From my own experience, I know there’s nothing more unpleasant than having sleep deprivation. There are many factors that caused this problem. Very often, we blame it on the common factors, such as: stress or depression, but our mind doesn’t develop other factors that may be the reason.

However, at some point of our life we all have faced an awful night at least once, everybody has personal problems to deal with but if you are facing this problem frequently then is not only a daily routine problem. I know in order to sleep well many of us have consulted doctors, exercised ourselves and even had the need of an overdose. There isn’t a specific medication to defeat sleep disorder. But we also know that there’s nothing more harmful than taking sleeping pills, a study published in the British medical Journal Open found that anyone taking sleeping pills twice a month is four times more likely to die in the next two and a half years than someone taking none at all.

The question here is: Are these sleeping problems a regular occurrence? Are they interfering with your daily life? If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from a sleep disorder. Sleep disorders cause more than just sleepiness. Poor quality sleep can have a negative impact on your energy, emotional balance, and health.

If you are experiencing this, I wonder if your doctor or did anyone ever tell you that your mattress can be the problem? “ A mattress can impact a person’s sleep,” says Michael Decker, PhD, RN, associate professor at Georgia State University. “When you lie on any part of your body for an extended period of time, the weight of it reduces the flow of blood through those blood vessels, which deprives the skin of oxygen and nutrients,” Decker says. This causes nerve cells and pain sensors in your skin to send a message to your brain for you to roll over. Rolling over restores blood flow to the area, but it also briefly interrupts your sleep. Meaning that if you don’t have a mattress that offers you support and comfort you can’t enjoy the benefits of a good night’s sleep.

Overall, if you never thought of this or nobody ever told you this, listen to the signs, and try a new product. If you ignore it, it can only get worse. Make a change in your life; we care about your sleep!
