INSOMNIA- AN INCREASING TREND IN PRESENT ERA
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Sleep is a natural phenomenon of giving adequate rest to the body and mind. Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep at night for many hours or inability to have a sound sleep, which deprives one of natural rest and interferes with activities during the day. Each of us has suffered a restless night at some point in our lives. We’ve all occasionally sacrificed sleep for a cram session before an exam, or an important deadline. Many of us also know the feeling of losing sleep due to an intense emotional upset or the accumulation of stress or anxiety. For some of us, loss of sleep is short-lived; for others, it is chronic and we’ve come to anticipate losing sleep on a regular basis. Insomnia can be caused by elevated or chronic stress, illness, physical discomfort, environmental factors, changes in our schedules, side effects from prescribed medications, depression, anxiety, and many other factors. [1] Our bodies crave sleep for good reason and there are actually serious health risks associated with sleep loss, which can have complicated effects on both the physiology and the mind. Ayurveda offers time-tested tools that truly support our bodies in reclaiming their natural rhythms. This article gives a break from the fretful anticipation of sleeplessness that so often accompanies insomnia and instead focuses on real and meaningful tools for balancing our sleep cycles.
