Advanced Sleep Phase is a Sleep Disorder that becomes more common during the senior years, but is generally rare among the rest of the population. Characteristics of this Sleep Disorder include falling asleep early and also waking up early, but not as a result of a work schedule or any other outside factor that may force a person into this type of sleep pattern. It is simply the way their body has decided to work.

People who have Sleep Disorders – whether rare or quite common – know how frustrating it can be to not get a good night’s sleep. Sometimes it is true that the rarer the Sleep Disorder, the less that is known about it, and therefore treatment may be ineffective or hard to come by.

Many people who suffer from rare Sleep Disorders will wind up with a prescription for sleeping drugs while other people will turn to sleep and relaxation-inducing pills on their own.

In the 1950s and ’60s, the average number of hours spent sleeping dropped to eight. The average American adult today sleeps seven and a half hours, and this number continues to decline.

Most of us don’t realize the true value that sleep can have on our bodies and minds and the majority of us don’t get enough of it. While for some of us this is due to suffering from a Sleep Disorder such as Insomnia, others just stay up too late and have commitments which require us to get up early. Getting enough quality sleep is essential to getting us through our day but also for our overall health.

Insomnia

Chamomile is a very soothing tea to put you to sleep if you’re having trouble in that area. And a magickal remedy is to take garden Violet, put it in a silver bag under your pillow, and then lay back and wait for the desired effect: sleep. Dill and Dandelion also work on Insomnia. Orange and passion flower are other plants that take away the Sleeplessness you experience.

During normal breathing, air passes through the throat on its way to the lungs. The air travels past the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, and tongue. When a person is awake, the muscles in the back of the throat tighten to hold these structures in place preventing them from collapsing into the airway. During sleep, these structures can fall into the airway causing Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Your problems can be evaluated by an Ears, Nose, Throad (ENTor otolaryngologist) doctor–if you are having sleep problems associated with significantly enlarged adenoids and a very relaxed palate then various surgical operations may be necessary to review.

The problem is not one of too little oxygen, but rather may be related to anatomical issues (how his air passages are designed). Speak with your doctor about this. Many times it is helpful to make a video tape for either his doctor or the ENT doctor to see–a picture and sound is worth a thousand words.

Insomnia is a symptom, not a disease. Insomnia can have many causes, but the biggest cause is due to Stress. Stress related to work, school, health or family concerns. Depression is the second biggest cause. The use of stimulants, including caffeine, alcohol, nicotine or other over-the-counter or prescription medications will also cause Insomnia.
