Aids
When sleep is elusive, a person becomes desperate for relief.
There are many sleep aids on the market to help a person find
some rest. Not all of them work for everyone. Some may work for
one person, but not the next. Finding one thats works may become
a daunting task, but well worth the effort once the desired amount
of sleep each night is achieved. There are several different treatment
options including pharmaceutical sleep aids, natural remedies,
and holistic healing treatments.
Pharmaceuticals include antidepressants, hypnotics and anxiolytics.
Each have good points and drawbacks. Antidepressants are prescribed
to the patient unable to sleep due to depression or sadness. These
are often used after the death of a loved one. Hypnotics are the
most effective drugs. They are used to obtain and maintain sleep
periods. These drugs are very powerful and should never be taken
with other sedating medications, drugs, or alcohol. The action
of both sedating compounds will enhance the others, possibly resulting
in coma or death. Anxiolytics are used if anxiety is preventing
sleep. Sleep enhancing medications should only be used short term
for a period not exceeding 4 weeks.
Natural sleep aids and remedies are becoming more and more popular.
It is easy to be scammed, so be sure to check out a company's
claims before spending money on a product. Over the counter medications
often are not approved or regulated by the FDA, so be careful
and make sure the company selling these products are reliable
and trusted. Melatonin is one being marketed heavily right now
as is Valerian. Other natural sleep products are also available.
Be sure to research each one before buying and trying.
Many times behavioral modification and holistic treatments aid
in the search for good sleep. These include aromatherapy, biofeedback,
acupuncture and meditation to name a few. Lavender is one of the
most popular scents used to promote sleep along with patchouli
and chamomile. Biofeedback involves placing electrodes on one's
body, then using the information gathered to consciously train
one's self to slow respirations, control heart rates and lower
blood pressure. Acupuncture as a sleep aid is suprisingly effective
and should always be administered by a licensed practitioner.
To effectively calm the mind before bed, try meditation. Classes
are often available in larger towns and cities.
Sleep is a requirement of the human body. It cannot function
properly without quality sleep. Sleep deprivation causes and intensifies
many signs and symptoms. If a person is suffering from loss of
sleep, every effort should be made to find a solution. If western
medicine is not appealing, there are many natural and holistic
treatments available. Whichever route is chosen, the end result
must be better sleep in order to achieve or maintain good health.
