Insomnia - What is It?

There are many types of sleep disorders ranging from somnambulism to narcolepsy to restless leg syndrome to sleep apnea to circadian rhythm disorders to insomnia - just to name a few. Insomnia is poor quality and very unsatisfying sleep. Insomnia can be short lived, called transient insomnia, meaning that it lasts for a few days or even up to a month or it can go on for years - then it's chronic insomnia. The inability to get to sleep, stay asleep, or both can characterize either form of insomnia. If you are like me, you generally don't have difficulty falling to sleep, but your nights can be plagued with countless wake up events. When morning finally does arrive, you often wake up restless and groggy. To say you are lacking the spirit to jump out of bed refreshed and ready to go, is an understatement.

There are lots of market and pharmaceutical medications for insomnia, but many of you don't want to become addicted to these pills. (These drugs are habit forming for the most part because anything that you do repeatedly will surely become a habit in your subconscious as well as conscious mind). Secondly, prescription sleep medications are generally expensive. Thirdly, it would just simply be nice to sleep peacefully on your own the way nature intended us to.

The NSF (National Sleep Foundation), says there are at least 50 - 70% of you who have insomnia. It may not be chronic, but even during the transient phases, it sure isn't pleasant. You may have tried some of the cures for eliminating insomnia - some may work temporarily - some don't work at all for you. Since all of you are individual, not all of the traditional remedies or cures will work for you. Don't you just wish you could switch off that incessant mind chatter just long enough to fall asleep or get back to sleep? The techniques offered in the ebook the Spirit of Sleep can help you do just that. You can gain back your natural circadian rhythm.
