Insomnia, or sleep disorder, appears when it’s difficult to fall asleep, or when a sleep period is too short, or if a night sleep doesn’t bring a sense of rest.

Very often it seems to people suffering from insomnia that they don’t sleep at all. Many of these people point out that they want to sleep during a day, but when a night comes they can’t fall asleep or even if managed to dose, they wake up too quickly. Frequently these people see the same dreams.

But sleep disorder doesn’t only lead to insomnia development; very often sleep disorder is a symptom of many other illnesses.

There’s a very ancient formation in man’s cranicerebrum, a talamus. Talamus is a kind of a biological computer gathering all information about organism state (sugar level in blood, salt amount, body temperature, inflammation in any part of the body, etc.) and external conditions (ambient temperature, wind, day or night). Talamus coordinates organism functionality with external conditions and has compartments providing a right order of sleep and sprightliness.

Infection illness, long-term pain (a tooth-ache, etc.), bile bladder inflammation, highmoritis, head cold, radiculitis, stress situation at home or at work could cause sleep disorder. A lack of a valuable sleep further worsens an organism’s health state, and organism’s resistance capabilities go down. This, in its turn, leads to new illnesses. Thus, the so-called “domino effect principle” is developing (one illness initiate another).

So, it’s very important to save normal sleep to give the organism an opportunity to proper fight with illnesses instead of simple recovery after a sleepless night.

Insomnea can easily be identified by complains on sleep absence as well as by the look of a patient who has edema under the eyes, red eyes, dry lips, flabbiness, suppression.

To effectively treat insomnia, roots of the illness should by properly found out. If the illness is caused by bad life experience or stress, sedatives are helpful. Bath with a warm water and coniferous extract, light neck and back massage, head brushing with a soft massage brush are recommended to recover in this case. It also advised to drink an infusion of mint or leonorus, fenozepam or tazepam. It also recommended to turn on soft light in the room for over all night (if a man has got insomnia, he can’t fall asleep in the darkness). There’s advice to read poetry or “very clever” literature that can’t be food for brains. Poetry, due to its intrinsic rhythm, coincides with a natural heart and cerebrum rhythm and positively influences the overexcited consciousness. “Very clever” literature helps to “switch off” the brains, preventing from the perception of misunderstood information influx. After that, not turning the light on, try to fall asleep again.

It’s also very important to follow established lifestyle and not to sleep too much (no more than 8 hours per night for adults and no more than 10 hours per night for children) as well as to walk (not less than an hour) before night sleep.

Lunch should be light as well: exclude from your menu raw vegetables and fruit and rye bread, since this food bubbles in the stomach and doesn’t allow the man to fall asleep.

If insomnia is caused by fever or heavy sickness, that’s a symptom of nervous system exhaustion. Patients with this kind of illness should eat vitamin-rich food for dinner, have after-dinner sleep for 1-2 hours and consume sedatives ordered by doctors tonight.
