Why I Had Insomnia

Too many people take falling asleep for granted. Too many people go to bed every night without wondering how long they'll toss and turn without sleeping. Too many people get into their pajamas every single night and simply close their eyes and go to sleep.

But you aren't one of those people, huh?

For people like us, falling asleep is a chore, becoming the most dreaded time of the day.

I used to sleep fine. When Effects Of Sleep Deprivation On Sleeping Habits was a kid and throughout most of my life, I was able to fall asleep quickly and I stayed asleep throughout the night. But a couple of years ago, that all came to an end. That's when I had the call from the hospital telling me that both of my parents were very sick. That's when my insomnia started.

The hospital told me I needed to come quickly, my father was dying and my mother was recovering from a severe case of the flu, had dementia and couldn't take care of herself. As a result I found myself up that night, and many night's afterward, tossing and turning. Sometimes I would wake up many times through the night because my mind just wouldn't stop. When that happened, my lack of sleep began to affect me negatively. Soon I found my self tossing and turning all night as I stayed awake, unable to sleep, trying to sort out what I was going to do with my mom and all the other things I had been left to handle. I found my self waking up so tired that it was difficult to make decisions or do the daily tasks I had set for myself. I was experiencing a severe case of insomnia.

Maybe you've experienced something similar to what I went through, or events even more traumatic, and it's given you insomnia. Maybe you too weren't able to sleep.

I thought it was normal to not be able to sleep properly with so much stress. I really didn't think anything of it. What surprised me though was after my mom passed away and the stress of taking care of her went away... I still couldn't sleep properly. I was an insomniac.

It would normally take me close to an hour to fall asleep and no matter what time I went to sleep, I always woke up at the crack of dawn. As soon as the first rays of sunshine hit my eyes I was wide awake. Nothing I could do would let me fall back asleep.

I tried everything I could think of to get a good night sleep. At first I started taking over the counter sleep or cold medicine, but they didn't help. I then went to see my doctor and he prescribed me pills.

The pills worked and for a while I felt like I was in heaven. I was able to fall asleep within minutes of taking the pills and I slept well throughout the entire night. Almost exactly 8 hours after taking the pills, I would wake up and I felt great.

The problem was that a week later, I started waking up not feeling so great. I found that the pills made me Stopping Snoring all the time. I started sleep walking at night and during the day I would fall asleep without any warning. I was constantly either trying to wake myself up and if I didn't take the pills, I couldn't sleep at all.

The straw that broke the camel's back was when I went to a friend's house one day and I had no recollection of having driven there. I was scared of what these pills were doing to me and I immediately flushed them all down the toilet.

I had enough of modern cures, I wanted a solution to my insomnia that was safe and wouldn't harm my body. So I started researching and figured out what worked for me. I was able to overcome my insomnia. That's where I got the information for my e-Course that you can have ABSOLUTELY FREE!
