Sleep Better Naturally Archives

I posted a question a couple weeks ago about my 1 year old having such hard time sleeping longer than 3 hours at a time let alone thru the night. In my quest to find something to help all of us, I have found an all natural herb product called Valerian Super Calm at a Health Food Store. Has anyone ever used this and if so, how did it work?

Thanks

What is a common dose for Valerian tincture?

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how many drops or how much of Valerian tincture is a common dose for anxiety (for an adult). Thank you!

Hi, I took 2 Valerian Passion Flower herbal capsules early this morning and I got Lexapro from my doctor this afternoon for some anxiety I’ve been having. I think it would be okay if I take it tonight before I go to bed but wanted to see what other people thought? Thanks in advance.

For example, if you sleep from 9 pm to 5 am you feel more refreshed in the morning than if you slept from 1am to 9 am

And since the International Space Station & the Space Shuttle orbit the earth every 90 minutes you have sunrise and moon rise every 90 minutes 24 hours a day 365 days a year?

Lately my sleep pattern has been highly Irregular> I can feel myself getting sleepy but no matter what I do I cant go to sleep. Sometimes I end up going without sleep for 24 hours or even longer, then when I finally get to sleep I only sleep for about 4 hours. Then I wake up and I feel pretty good for a few hours. What is the problem and how can I fix it.

Can anorexia cause sleeping problems?

I’m not dangerously underweight, but I was diagnosed with anorexia a couple of months age, because I wouldn’t eat and when I would eat. I would purge several times.
So I was just wondering if my sleeping problems could be due to this? I’m constantly tired during the day, but can’t sleep when it comes to when I can.
Please Help!

They taught us in year 12 psychology that during REM (dreaming) sleep, we are unable to move.
I don’t believe that’s true. What do you guys think? (Opinions – its okay if your not a sleep doctor or anything, or if you have just your own experience to back you up, or if you know of any scientific facts about it, that’s cool too)

Why do we need rem sleep?




Sleeping to rest our body is not good enough.. We need REM sleep to truly feel rested. Why is this? From an evolutionary stand point it seems that dreaming would not be needed, yet it is.
