Nutrition can have a profound effect on sleep. The fuel you give your body directly affects the brain's intricate and complex biochemistry. In addition to food sensitivities or allergies, over-consuming nonfoods (low or no nutritional value; toxic or disruptive ingredients) or stimulants (caffeine, nicotine, refined sugars, and the like), can create nutritional deficiencies and imbalances which must be considered as a cause of insomnia.
Research shows that mindfulness-based meditation can have a positive benefit on sleep in as little as 8 weeks of practice. Meditation lowers cortisol levels (a stress hormone) and facilitates a more relaxed and accepting state of being. This can help tremendously if you find yourself unable to sleep because you are worried or stressed. Insomnia, whether often or occasionally, Yoga can help. Through relaxing physical exercise, breathing techniques and complete relaxation, you can promote more regular and restful sleeping patterns without resorting to sleep-inducing drugs. Such drugs interfere with your body's natural sleep cycle and can create psychological dependence and undesirable side effects Before going to bed, you can do a few gentle stretches to relieve tension and help you relax.
