Insomnia: What It Is, Why It Happens, and Natural Ways to Get Better Sleep
🧠 What Is Insomnia?
Insomnia is defined as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early—and not being able to fall back asleep. It becomes a chronic issue when it happens at least three nights per week for three months or more.
Common symptoms include:
- Difficulty falling asleep even when tired
- Frequent night wakings
- Waking up too early
- Daytime fatigue or brain fog
- Mood swings or irritability
- Trouble concentrating
⚠️ What Causes Insomnia?
There’s rarely just one reason. Insomnia is often linked to:
- Stress and anxiety
- Poor sleep habits (e.g., irregular schedules, screens before bed)
- Caffeine or alcohol use
- Jet lag or shift work
- Medical conditions or medications
Even positive changes—like starting a new job or preparing for travel—can disrupt sleep temporarily.
🌿 Natural Ways to Manage Insomnia
Before reaching for high-dose sleeping pills or prescription medication, try a more gentle, holistic approach. Here’s what we recommend at Nutreska:
Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily. Limit screens ≥30 minutes before bed, dim lights, and try stretching, journaling, or calming music.
High melatonin (5–10mg) can disrupt your natural rhythm. Our approach uses ~1mg melatonin with Valerian, Chamomile, GABA, L-Theanine to calm the mind—without next-day grogginess.
Even a small tea late in the day can delay sleep. Switch to herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint in the evening.
10 minutes of outdoor light in the morning helps reset your circadian rhythm and makes falling asleep at night easier.
