Description
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized by difficulty falling and/or staying asleep. People with insomnia have one or more of the following symptoms:
Difficulty falling asleep.
Waking up often during the night and having trouble going back to sleep.
Waking up too early in the morning.
Feeling tired upon waking.
Types of Insomnia
There are two types of insomnia: primary insomnia and secondary insomnia.
Primary insomnia: Primary insomnia means that a person is having sleep problems that are not directly associated with any other health condition or problem.
Secondary insomnia: Secondary insomnia means that a person is having sleep problems because of something else, such as a health condition (like asthma, depression, arthritis, cancer, or heartburn); pain; medication they are taking; or a substance they are using (like alcohol).
Acute vs. Chronic Insomnia
Insomnia also varies in how long it lasts and how often it occurs. It can be short-term (acute insomnia) or can last a long time (chronic insomnia). It can also come and go, with periods of time when a person has no sleep problems. Acute insomnia can last from one night to a few weeks. Insomnia is called chronic when a person has insomnia at least three nights a week for a month or longer.
Causes of Insomnia
Causes of acute insomnia can include:
Significant life stress (job loss or change, death of a loved one, divorce, moving).
Illness.
Emotional or physical discomfort.
Environmental factors like noise, light, or extreme temperatures (hot or cold) that interfere with sleep.
Some medications (for example those used to treat colds, allergies, depression, high blood pressure, and asthma) may interfere with sleep.
Interferences in normal sleep schedule (jet lag or switching from a day to night shift, for example).
Causes of chronic insomnia include:
Depression and/or anxiety.
Chronic stress.
Pain or discomfort at night.
Symptoms of insomnia can include:
Sleepiness during the day.
General tiredness.
Irritability.
The treatments aid muscle relaxation and help you fall asleep faster. These changes don’t have the side effects that sleep medicines can cause. And the improvements last longer over time.
Complications of insomnia:
Not getting enough sleep can take a toll on your health. Insomnia can increase your risk for a number of conditions including:
Anxiety.
Depression.
Stroke.
Asthma attacks.
Seizures.
Weak immune system.
Obesity.
Diabetes mellitus.
High blood pressure.
Heart disease.
Insomnia can also:
Increase your risk for an accident.
Affect your performance at school or work.
Lower your sex drive.
Affect your memory.

I’ve tried everything recommended to me. I read up on it daily, but no matter what, at 3am I wake up. It’s becoming a joke, but today was a new day. After trying the products, I finally slept through the night. Everyone who has similar issues with sleeping through the night should try this product. Thank you

This works great for me. I never had a hard time getting to sleep but I would wake up way too early. This product gives me a good restful 7 hour sleep with no morning grogginess.

Only few days using this product I have noticed a great improvement regarding my mood and sleep. One thing I have noticed is that I have been having sweet dreams and smiling more. It has been a great impact on my life, because everyday i was feeling too anxious and worried. I really recommend this product for those with depression problems, or even for who suffers with anxiety and bad mood.

I normally wake up several times at night and have trouble getting back to sleep. From the second night I took this product, I was sleeping through the entire night. Not only did I not wake up a bunch, but I also woke to my alarm in the morning feeling well rested. No grogginess or wanting to just go back to bed after getting the kids off to school. I find that I am more relaxed, yet still alert and able to concentrate during the day. I wouldn’t say that my stress is completely gone, but I feel a lot more calm after starting this product.
Gideon Owusu –
I like that it helps to regulate my mood throughout the day which also helps me to relax more when it’s time to sleep. I’ve found even after just a few days that the quality of my sleep is beginning to improve. I’m hoping for continued improvements in my overall mood
