A HUMAN PROBLEM Insomnia has always troubled people..
not sleeping is a problem as old as time.
It is not any consolation but you are not the only one!Johann Sebastien Bach wrote the Goldberg Variations (all thirty of them in 1741) to help Count Kaiserling with his insomnia and get some sleep You will overcome, with a little patience you will succeed and sleep much better.
I have suffered from insomnia and I have conquered it.
Learning my method is easy; enjoy better sleep and all the benefits that come with it.
Believe me the feeling of confidence that comes from more control over your life will help you do everything better.
I have beaten insomnia and so can you.
LET'S LOOK AT INSOMNIA Insomnia...
"is a label describing the persistence of behaviours that are incompatible with sleep...
" Put less technically...
racing mind, reliving the whole day's activities, worry about tomorrow..
..
Does this all sound only too familiar? Your conscious mind will not yield to the unconscious.
Many times I've thought..
'if only my mind would stop, shut up...
' but the conscious mind will not yield and allow the unconscious to take over.
Of course everyone is different but it's so obvious we don't sleep when something keeps us awake! I WANT TO TEACH YOU MY METHOD FOR DISTRACTING YOUR MIND AND ALLOWING SLEEP TO TAKE OVER So that You concentrate on allowing sleep to happen rather than worrying (you will stay awake).
Some Psychologists and Biologists suggest that stimulation is essential to 'wake up' the conscious mind and when the brain is injured in certain ways the person goes into a permanent coma.
Brain stem stimulation is essential for arousal (being awake) to be maintained.
So that when you are in an unstimulating environment, a tedious lecture perhaps or on a plane or a train, sleep comes upon you - sometimes unannounced.
So frustrating that you can fall asleep then but not when you want to at night.
THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN BEGIN, AND CONTINUE TO LEARN, A LIFETIME CHANGE AND BEAT INSOMNIA.

BEDROOM IS FOR SLEEPING, NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME Just look at the internet and you will discover a universe of information about insomnia and the causes of not sleeping.
I don't want to try and add to it.

Anyone suffering from depression should always seek treatment (depression treatment).
There are numerous medication treatments and cognitive behaviour therapies which can and do help with depression (depression help) Panic attacks, anxiety disorders and stress all need to be treated professionally.
There are many good relaxation techniques available; choose one or more that work for you.
ADDITIONAL 'RIGHT' THINGS TO DO.
Of course there are many additional things you can do to improve the right atmosphere and conditions for a relaxing night's sleep.
These are some of the suggestions made by sleep therapists and psychologists worldwide.
The bedroom is for sleeping (and making love)..
...
remove TV's and computers Keep the bedroom cool...
with plenty of ventilation...
temperature around 18 degrees C.
(68 degrees F) Aim for lashings of comfort too..
..
duvets are a marvellous invention, light and warm...
change from winter to summer.
Add the pillow of your choice.
Music..
personally I go for relaxing music and I think so should you...
Smell - lavender on or under the pillow is something you can try Exercise and Caffeine - these are best avoided within 3 hours of going to sleep Prepare for Sleep - dim the lights, quieten the music, put your clock and watches out of sight and get comfortable..
