How to eliminate insomnia, the most obvious reason for fatigue

Sleep deprivation is known to:

  • Contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s and dementia
  • Increase the likelihood of certain cancers
  • Increase the growth of infectious bacteria and fungus in the GI tract
  • Increase insulin resistance
  • Reduce immune function
  • Decrease impulse control
  • Increase appetite
  • Increase anxiety and the ability to handle stress
  • Increase muscle loss during a diet

I have been treating insomnia for 20 years. Most cases are easy to fix. And some cases are more challenging than others, but I have always found a solution. And by solution I mean the long stretches of sleeplessness are resolved – they may still wake up at night to use the bathroom, but they’re able to fall back to sleep quickly.

The causes of insomnia are often multi-layered. They can be simple, but more often than not, multiple things need to be addressed at the same time in order to get results.

Top reasons you might not be sleeping well:

  • Blood sugar dysregulation
  • Nutrient deficiencies
  • Thyroid dysfunction (this may be subclinical as well as overt)
  • Adrenal imbalance
  • Infections
  • General inflammation
  • Exposure to blue light
  • Poor sleep hygiene
  • Liver imbalance
  • Hormonal Imbalance
  • Dysregulated brain waves
  • Stress
  • Anxiety/Depression
  • EMF

There may be other seemingly unrelated symptoms you have that may be connected to your insomnia that will help reveal its cause. I always tell my patients that no symptoms is too small or irrelevant to mention. It may be the missing link to solving your insomnia or other health issue that until now has seemed impossible to treat!

So how do you eliminate insomnia that has lasted days, months or years? You address EVERYTHING that could be a problem. You take a multi-pronged approach. Make sure everything is in balance and your sleep will fall back into balance too. It may take a little time, but when the body is in balance, sleep returns to the healthy state that is natural to humans.
