Holistic Health Secrets

The solution to an insomnia condition may depend on the type of insomnia that you experience.

Some people have trouble falling asleep.

Some people fall asleep easily but have problems staying asleep.

Others may wake up too early in the morning and feel as if they have had a poor quality of unrefreshing sleep.

Others are plagued by nightmares.

Then there are some people who could sleep if they wanted to but for psychological reasons do not wish to sleep and stay up to prolong their “day”.

Sometimes your sleep problems may be caused by external conditions such as noisy neighbours, loud music, crying babies that need feeding or a sick family member that needs constant attention.

Three types of conditions are:

1. Initial Insomnia
2. Middle Insomnia
3. Terminal Insomnia

Initial insomnia is where it takes you a very long time to get sleep. In some cases, once a person with this condition manages to fall asleep, they manage to stay asleep.

Middle Insomnia is sometimes also called middle-of-the-night insomnia or sleep maintenance insomnia.  As the name suggests, it’s when people habitually wake up in the middle of the night and are unable to get back to sleep.

Terminal Insomnia is the case where a person wakes up too early in the morning and is unable to get back to sleep.

If you fall into this category, you need to ascertain whether you are able to function healthily during the day with the hours of sleep that you do get.

(If you are physically and mentally comfortable during the day with the amount of sleep that you do get, then it may be that you are a “short sleeper”.)
