Hey! You’re in the wrong place!
Here’s the full, master guide on all insomnia cures.
Just keeping this old guide around for records sake. The guide below is an origional and horribly un-edited.
_________________________________________
All Natural Cures For Insomnia are summed up here, but you won’t find any information on sleeping pills. If you suffer from insomnia, then you should take this post seriously. If you eant something right now, click here.
First of all, this wasn’t written for people suffering from sleep apnea, chronic pain or fibromyalgia, or to address sleep problems that arise with feminine hormones.
This blog will be a full on guide to finding true, natural cures for insomnia. In doing research for curing my own insomnia, I put together a system and identified the different types of insomnia causes.
The first thing to realize is that this is called Cures For Insomnia because there isn’t *one* cure for insomnia. It may be one area that’s keeping you awake, so look out for that - but there are several different things that make up our sleep.
The main thing I want to cover in THIS post is the area of Life Choices. You’ve probably already heard some kind of sleeping advice that referred to drinking more water or getting more exercise, or various related thing throughout the day.
These behaviors INDIRECTLY help you go to sleep, but influence the sleep cycle completely. 80% of your sleep problems most likely lie with the habits you have in your every day life. The main “cures for insomnia” you need are actually solved by living a healthier life. If you’re struggling to go to sleep, it’s usually a pretty good indicator that you’re not behaving in a very healthy way in your daily life.
The other thing I want to cover is the act of falling asleep. Sleep is not a choice, and you can’t choose to fall asleep, but you can choose to do things that will cause you to fall asleep. I’m going to cover things you can do to train your brain to fall asleep.
Let me give you the overview of what LIFESTYLE behaviors you need:
First of all, you should consider that there may be obstacles in your life - like being depressed, being very tensed and anxious all the time, and others - that may be the source of your sleeping problem. People who get their life together often comment that they sleep much better than they used to. If this sounds like you, you might just have to go on a journey to get your life in shape.
To improve your sleep, think of it like you govern your sleep cycle - also known as your melatonin cycle. So, you’re the government - you’re the one who decides what behaviors you put into action - and the sleep cycle is like the economy or any cycle or system - it needs a certain amount of sunlight to function among other needs.
1. Throughout the day, you need to get a lot of sunlight.
Look, I can give you the cold numbers here - at least 1 hour with direct sunlight a day (as in, light comes through the atmosphere and hits your skin without bouncing off something else first) - but the truth is that it varies per person, and you simply need A LOT more than your getting now… if this is a problem for you.
So if you only tend to get direct sunlight around work every day, you’re going to need to lead more of an outdoor life for this to be considered amongst your “Cures of Insomnia”.
That means, you can’t struggle to try for 1-2 hours a day. It means you sit down and rethink the way you’re living life for a little bit - and see the benefits of being outside more and why that would be good for your life, not JUST for sleep. You’ve really got to live it. Rock on!
I give this lecture because I’m getting sick of people *struggling* and *forgetting*. If you don’t WANT to be outside, just deal with the fact that you’re never going to get the sleep you want. I know you might be annoyed that I’m coaching - but it’s so important that you get that to really cure your insomnia, you’ve got to want to do the things that are required… because quite frankly, it’s not nearly as easy as you thought.
Alright, moving on to more cures for insomnia…
2. Throughout the day, you need to be active and drink water. You might be thinking something along the lines of “that sucks.” First of all, realize that this isn’t something you can escape.
For some of us, not being active defines who we are. At first, I thought this all really “sucked” and so I tried other cures for insomnia, only to realize that it works the way it works. Becoming a more active person doesn’t take away from who you are; It adds a whole other dimension to your personality- because by getting activity every day, you become more well rounded as a person.
Point One - this is a lot easier than you’d think. You don’t have to work out every day, as much as I’d recommend it.
What I think is easiest is to put getting light and getting activity into one solution. For me, I started by going out a few times a day - once in the morning, once around lunch, and once around dinner - and discovering something new.
Some days, that means I walk 15 minutes and take a good look at someone’s front yard. It doesn’t matter - but I put in a bit of work, and I get my sunlight, and that does A LOT. By doing it early, I set a context all day long for being more proactive, and by being more active, I feel happier and more alive all day, every day.
Point Two - It’s hell until it’s a habit. I started working out around 6 months ago, and I could never do it every day - I always struggled - until I learned about this. Once I forced myself to do it for 21 days, I literally had no problems with working out, and it feels hard to *not* work out. You have to want something - and then, if you can keep at it for 21 days, you just won’t find it hard. That’s it!
It’s important that you drink water as well. The minimum you should be drinking is about 8 cups a day (measured by unit, not by what I think a cup is). You can still drink soda, but the healthier you are generally speaking the more it will help you sleep.
Now on to the other section of cures for insomnia - the act of falling asleep.
Let me give you the overview of how you can train your BRAIN to fall asleep:
First, understand this - Sleep is not a choice. You can’t “choose” to fall asleep - there’s no connection between the chemicals in your brain that caused you to fall asleep and your desire to fall asleep. If you “choose” to go to sleep, what actually happens is that the chemicals in your brain have been asked for action, and so your brain goes into action mode. By trying to go to sleep, you’re brain *gets* that you are *trying* at something, and goes into an activity, which by definition, PREVENTS YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO FALL ASLEEP.
The good news is that we can use these chemicals to create different cures for insomnia. There’s two I’m into, and one I’m not:
What I’m not into: Sleeping Pills. No! I believe that if you are going to alter the chemicals in your brain, you should do it naturally. And the data supports me on that. Of most people that get into sleeping pills, they stop working after a couple of weeks. Or they don’t work at all. Or they work with nasty side effects. I’m not saying sleeping pills don’t work - they do for some people, and if you seriously need help in the area of helping your brain fall asleep, sleeping pills aren’t a bad idea. Try them. But come to me if you ever want something natural.
Cures for Insomnia I am into:
1. A program called sleep tracks. I count this among my cures for insomnia because, well, it worked!
The sleep tracks directly affects the chemicals in your brain without messing with them. I am working on a more natural cure - for that see #2 - but for now, this program has worked excellently for many people at altering your brain activity. It doesn’t mess with your chemicals because technically, it’s your brain choosing the ones you want - even though it’s stimulated by an external source.
What sleep tracks does is interesting - it plays sound waves that causes your brain to adjust it’s frequency of brain waves. When we go to sleep, our brain emits slower and slower brain waves, which the sounds emulate. This works based on the same principles that music causes us to go into rhythm. It’s a new technology to replace an older technology of something called binatural beats.
I recommend this program because it worked for me and it’s worked for a lot of people - but it takes effort just like anything else and it won’t work if you continue to make bad lifestyle choices. The only reason I stopped using it was to work on my own skill for falling asleep - but now it’s hard for me to test my own skills, because I naturally fall asleep better since I’ve done sleeptracks. You can try it by clicking here: Cures For Insomnia.
2. The “Skill of Falling Asleep”.
I’m actually studying a method of putting yourself to sleep by directly causing the right chemicals for sleep to activate. It’s based on my research that people who meditate often or people who are very creative sleep very well, and it’s uncommon for these kind of people to have sleeping problems.
The idea is that by meditating, you can put your mind in a place where it’s at peace and aware of the environment, causing slight increase in SMR, and much more so after practice.
Then, from a state of high SMR, activate the chemicals that cause you to fall asleep by entering a creative state - something which is incredibly natural,but most people have spent their entire lives undoing this natural skill.
I can’t even begin to sum it all up in this post, but you can click here to learn more.
While the system for finding Cures for Insomnia has been completed - this blog has to be made one post at a time, and the majority of my work goes into testing. I’m results oriented, so I wouldn’t give you something that didn’t work (unless I’m testing!) Since this is the first post to this blog, I wanted to give you helpful advice for how you can start fulfilling each section and work on conquering your insomnia now! The cures for insomnia you’re looking for are already inside you - you just need to know what to do.
From here on out, I break down each of these four sections: Be Active - Get Light - Meditate - Creative State. The guide will be incomplete for a while; And if you’re here early, you might not get all of my Cures For Insomnia. I want to write a table of contents upon finishing to help out as well, which will be over to the left.
If you actually read all that - would you leave a comment just to let me know? A lot of research has gone into this project already and I need feedback. Please, if you have ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY AT ALL - know that I will read it and get back to you - the only way this works is if you tell me what’s on your mind, whether it’s good, bad, or indifferent. You can leave a comment on this post below or you can email me at thecahoon@gmail.com. Good luck finding the Cures For Insomnia you need!
Until then, working on Cures For Insomnia,
James Cahoon
