What Is Insomnia, and How Can It Be Treated Naturally? - #15547
For the past few months, I’ve been having serious trouble sleeping. No matter how tired I am, I just can’t seem to fall asleep easily. When I do sleep, I wake up multiple times during the night, and even when I get a full 7-8 hours, I wake up feeling exhausted. I looked into it, and it seems like I might have insomnia. I read that insomnia is a sleep disorder where people have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling well-rested after sleep. But what causes it? I don’t drink caffeine late in the day, I don’t use my phone in bed, and I even try meditation, but nothing seems to help. Could this be related to stress, diet, or an underlying health condition? I want to avoid taking sleeping pills because I’ve heard they can be addictive. Are there any natural remedies for insomnia that actually work? I’ve read that melatonin supplements, magnesium, and herbal teas can help, but I don’t know if they are effective for long-term use. I’m also curious about Ayurvedic treatments. Are there any specific herbs or lifestyle changes that help with insomnia? I’ve heard that Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and warm milk with nutmeg can promote sleep—has anyone tried these? For those who have struggled with insomnia, what helped you overcome it? Did lifestyle changes, diet, or Ayurvedic remedies make a difference?
