Taking Control of Your Insomnia
We all love a good night’s sleep. But unfortunately for some, this is not obtainable. Insomnia is a sleep disorder where people have trouble falling and/or staying asleep. This results in daytime drowsiness. Insomnia can come and go. Acute insomnia lasts from one night to a few weeks. Insomnia is chronic when it happens three nights a week for 3 months or longer.
There are two main types of insomnia: primary and secondary. Primary insomnia is when your sleep problems are not related to any other health condition. Secondary insomnia is when sleep problems are related to health issues such as asthma, depression, etc. Primary insomnia can be caused by stress-related to big life events, factors around you such as light or temperature, or changes to your sleep schedule like jet lag. Secondary insomnia can be caused by mental health issues, medications, and caffeine.
There are ways to help manage your insomnia so that you can sleep well at night. The first tip is to eliminate stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. You should also avoid eating or drinking before you go to bed. Eating right before bed can activate the digestive system, keeping you up. Sticking to a regular sleep schedule can also help insomnia. Getting into bed and waking up at the same time every day regulates the sleep cycle.
If you find none of these are working, CBD is a great way to help your insomnia. Many have used CBD before bed and reported having a more restful and uninterrupted sleep. A few drops of the New Herbal Farms Tincture will help you to fall asleep and stay asleep.
