Sleep disorders
One of the most common problems that people experience is difficulty sleeping. Sleeping is the single most important process in the body. While we sleep the body detoxifies, repairs and regenerates, so with poor sleep we can not truly heal ourselves.
Signs that you may not be getting a proper sleep include:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Restlessness
- Waking up during the night
- Snoring
- Sleep talking or acting out dreams
- Not remembering your dreams
- Waking up tired or groggy in the mornigs
- Difficulty waking
- Not feeling like you have had a good sleep
There are many reasons that your sleep could be disturbed. Naturopathy works well for improving sleep as treatment is individualised to each person for quicker results.
Some common causes of poor sleep are:
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Lack of energy
- Adrenal exhaustion
- Toxicity- too many toxins in the body
- Digestive upset
- Nervous exhaustion
- Stress
