10 Cures For Denver Insomnia

 Avoid napping during the day. This way you go to bed tired and sleep well.
 Keep regular hours. If you go to bed at 10 o’clock and wake up at 7 o’clock don’t change it on the weekends.
 Do you oversleep at times? This can throw your system off. Adults only need 6-8 hours a night.
 In this overstimulated society irritation from caffeinated beverages like;
- Coffee,
- Cola drinks,
- Hot chocolate,
- Green and black tea can cause trouble sleeping.
Alcohol can cause sleeplessness as it irritates the gut. It also leads to increased urination at night. Limit your alcohol intake.
 Does your partner keep you up snoring? Nasal strips work. A gentle nudge to change their position also can help. Separate sleeping quarters is always an option.
 Your bedroom should be very comfortable. Eliminate all extraneous light. Get a large mattress and comfortable pillows. Chiropractors have the best pillows for the neck. They provide comfort, support and help keep the spine in proper alignment.
 Do you exercise at least an hour every day? Exercise makes sleeping easy. Turn off the television and make time to exercise daily.
 Have you ever tried natural calming teas? Try chamomile, passion flower, or valerian root. These are great home remedies that are safe and non-addictive.
Melatonin and tryptophan can be helpful as well. They are natural and non-habit forming.
 Focus your mind on a single word or phrase like “relax”. Say it slowly to yourself repeatedly. When your mind wanders bring it gently back to focus on this one word till you fall asleep.
 Are you getting your spine adjusted on a regular basis? Patients report feeling very relaxed and getting the best sleep of their lives with gentle safe chiropractic.
