How to Fight Insomnia Without Medication

Insomnia is one of the most common ailments among American adults. There is just something about the busy state of our lives, combined with constantly being “plugged in”, that is causing some of the worst sleep habits in history.

Not only is falling asleep difficult for many, but staying asleep is equally as difficult a struggle. If you have this irritating problem, you may constantly be asking yourself, ‘What can I get to sleep?’ or ‘What is causing my insomnia?’ While you may be desperate for a cure, you may be like the majority and dislike the medication that is used to treat insomnia. If you have to ask yourself these questions often, and would like a more natural way to treat insomnia, check out these ways to fight insomnia without using medication.

Exercise as Regularly as Possible

Exercise is good for the body in so many ways. When you are looking for tips to cure insomnia, exercise is generally near the top of the list. Physically taxing the body can work the muscles, tire your body, and relax the mind. Take a walk, ride a bike, or go for a swim a few hours before bedtime to help you wind down and get the sleep that you need.

Avoid Afternoon Caffeine and Alcohol

When you have insomnia, you often need a pick me up in the afternoon in order to stay awake and keep going. For many, this means another cup of your favorite caffeinated drink. Then, as night comes around, we reach for something to calm the body and mind, usually in the form of an alcoholic beverage. Then, this becomes a vicious cycle. While it may seem like a good idea, reaching for late caffeine or alcohol can really hinder your ability to fall asleep at night. Caffeine can keep you awake long after you wish. Alcohol, while it may make you fall asleep, will not allow you to stay asleep in the very important deep sleep cycle. The best method is to skip either if you really want to beat the insomnia cycle.

Get Regular Chiropractic Care

This method to beating insomnia often surprises people. When you really think about it, however, chiropractic care may help put the body in a comfortable and restful state, meaning that falling and staying asleep becomes easier. Chiropractors may be able to fix misalignments that occur along the spine. These misalignments can cause pain, stiffness, slow digestion, poor circulation, poor sleeping habits, and many other unwanted symptoms. Allowing a chiropractor to use spinal manipulation to align these little problems may eliminate all of these negative side effects, and get you sleeping well again.
