Are you a waking sleep maniac, or a twister or turner? Do
you just wait to fall asleep-just lying there? Hoping if you
just close your eyes deep sleep will come! Are you jumping
around in bed, can't quite get comfortable, or the mind is
racing, thinking about everything you did that day, and projects
that are still waiting.You
may want to pop that Gaba
Calm by Source
Naturals. It tastes pretty yummy too, comes in peppermint
or orange lozenges, it will just disappear right into your
bloodstream after a while.
Gaba,
an amino acid that blocks the excitement nerve transmitters.
Do you wake up after 3 or 4 hours of sleep and are starving?
This is called Nocturnal hypoglycemia. So how about a walk
to the fridge for some of that Protien
Shake by Jarrow Formulas. What happened? It seems
your blood sugar just went down the tube. Have you tried
all those pharmaceuticals that only work for a short period
of time, or don't work at all, causing drowsiness, and perhaps
dizziness for the next day. Nutrasleep
by Source
Naturals has not only the GABA amino but herbs that
are relaxing and calming such as Passion
Flower, Scullcap
& Valerian.
Anxiety and tension are some of the reasons we have such
a hard time falling and staying asleep. Certain types of
food and drink, could keep us awake, such as caffeine, which
could act as a stimulant. Deficiencies of Calcium
& Magnesium
also could enter the picture. Almost half of the population
in the US has trouble sleeping, mainly because of our stressed
out lifestyle, and Europe is fast catching up. And what
about all of you sufferers with body aches and pains, or
ones that are already in the midst of some kind of degenerative
disease and are tossing and turning, because it hurts and
no amount of warm milk helps. Natural
Calm by Peter
Gillhams (Regular or Lemon Raspberry powder) that
one mixes up helps with the pain of emotional stress and
anxiety. It is full of Magnesium,
which according to The American Heart Journal, is the Natures
calcium channel blocker. All my clients love this one.
There is also a famous B-Vitamin
known as Inositol.
True, it comes in your B Complex, however not enough of
it in a multi. Individually, Inositol
is known for helping anxiety and panic issues. Now
Foods has this in powder or caps, You can throw
that into your Protein or Calm Drinkfor a little extra help.
And about Traveling in Hotels with strange beds, and having
a big meeting in the morning and becoming a nervous anxious
wreck, especially if you can't remember what your speech
is or too nervous to think, let alone sleep. There is a
Travel
Pack from A
to B Calm in packets you can take with you, so you
won't miss anything and are bright and breezy in the morning.
Now, for that Restless Leg Syndrome. Potassium
& Magnesium,
which can be taken during the day as well, if necessary
and especially at night help. Work with your body on this
one to see how much you need, Now
Foods has it with both of those minerals in the
Aspertate
form, which is so easily assimilated, not aspertame
which is lethal long term. There's quite a difference there.
On that subject, avoid all your soft drinks have that ingredient
aspertame which causes an electrolyte imbalance and takes
all the minerals out of us, No wonder our nerves are on
the edge.
Wishing all of you a Good-Nights Sleep with Less Anxiety and Calmer Nerves,
