Insomnia is one of the most misunderstood disorder plaguing people today. It is regularly the butt of jokes and a topic that is mocked relentlessly. People who can go to sleep undisturbed do not understand the pain insomnia causes nor do they appreciate the ability they have to fall asleep easily.
Despite the widespread misunderstand, an estimated of 58% of people suffer from one form of insomnia or another. With such a huge percentage of the population afflicted, you could think that people would have a more tolerant approach.
There are many reasons insomnia is so misunderstood, multitudes of causes, confusing symptoms and the fact that it occurs when people are generally alone all aid to the ignorance. Like with anything else, education is the key to understanding.
Insomnia is no different. Lets try to shed some light on some of these issues.
Unlike other psychological disorders, insomnia can be caused by virtually anything. Stress, complacency, anxiety, lack of circulation, a shift in schedule, jet lag, a change of diet, new medication, a rise or fall in estrogen levels, poor hygiene, a new daily routine or even just getting older can all cause sleeping problems which if persist can lead to insomnia. With such a vast array of causes, pinpointing and eliminating the causes is often key to finding the cure.
Insomnia also manifests itself in a lot of different ways. Some people have trouble falling asleep. Other people wake up at different times throughout the night. Other people wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep and still other people wake up early. An unfortunate group of people have a combination of some or all of these symptoms. In general though, insomnia is identified not actually by the sleeping patterns but by the restfulness of the sleep. All insomnia sufferers wake up feeling tired and rundown.
Due to the lack of understanding and this educational vacuum, a large number of self-help guides exist to help sufferers. Most of these guides though are not able to provide the necessary cure, mostly due to the wide range of causes and symptoms.
One book stands out amongst the rest as being a complete guide to cure insomnia naturally. It is appropriately called Learn The Natural Way to Staying Asleep and it has helped hundreds of people with their condition. To find out more, click here.

Staying Asleep Story - How I Struggled With My Sleep And What Helped Me Stay Asleep Again
It is commonly known that sleep is one of the healthiest activities you do every day. So it is logical that not sleeping enough is one of the worst things that you can do to your health. I learnt that simple truth the hard way.
It all started after I was engaged to my groom. We had been dating for a couple of years and everything were going really great. So time past and he proposed. I thought my life would be nice and bright from there on out. But something opposite happened.
Very soon after I said yes a sense of anxiety flooded all my body and I became terrified of the responsibility that I had volunteered for. This anxiety developed itself in a very severe case of insomnia.
I could not get to sleep and stay asleep as well. And even when I was able to fall asleep, I would wake up a few times throughout the night with a sense of panic and I could not fall back asleep. Past a couple weeks of my sleeping problem and I was starting becoming insane. I would sleep walk through my days and I dreaded going to sleep.
I became miserable and inconsolable women. More weeks and months shoot past and I started getting used to my insomnia. I did not recognize it at the time, but my mood and character changed and I was quick to yell at anyone for the slightest annoyance. At the end of the day, my broom told me that we needed to find a cure.
He was insisting that I have to go to the doctor, but I refused. I think that my problem was not so serious and that I do not need medical attention. I told him that I would figure it out by myself and that my insomnia would end after the wedding. When it did not happen, I could not justify my situation anymore. But I still did not want to go to see a doctor for unexplainable reason. So, I started looking for cures in the Internet.
And I found this wonderful book called Learn The Natural Way to Staying Asleep and without it, I do not know that I would have survived myself and my marriage. The book taught me how to relax and to find the good night sleep that I was so desperately needed.
If you are also struggling with falling asleep and staying asleep, I can't recommend the book any stronger. Check it out by clicking here. You'll be glad you did.
