The Insomnia Natural

Why is it that I wake in the morning not feeling refreshed?

 Often this is because your sleep patterns are off.  

What do you mean my sleep is off?

You may not be running through your sleep stages as you should be thus creating a very tired “you” in the morning.  Typically you spend 20% of your sleep in REM (rapid eye movement) if you are not getting that type of sleep you will wake not feeling refreshed. 

Feeling Groggy and Sleepy…Here’s why?

If you are not completing your sleep cycle the way we are meant to you will awake in the morning feeling groggy and sleepy for the whole day.  This is often the direct result of not getting enough NREM (non rapid eye movement)  

Waking feeling anxious?

If you are waking up feeling agitated or anxious you are probably not getting enough REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.  Check out this article to learn more about your sleep patterns http://www.theinsomnianatural.com/sleep-learning/5-stages-of-sleep-which-stage-are-you-not-able-to-complete to learn more about the stages of sleep

So what can I do about getting more REM or NREM?

Until recently I would tell my clients that they had to figure out what was disturbing their sleep by putting a tape recorder in the room that would activate during sounds (Radio Shack has these).

My first advice is to get a Sleep mate or ear plugs (These are the best price and as comfy as ear plugs can be).  Another solution would be to listen to classical music that would help aid you into the different sleep modes.  Typically what stops you from having your perfect cycle has everything to do with outside noise.  Maybe your neighbor gets up at 3 am because their sleep is off.  Maybe the sounds of the pipes in your house go off waking you out of one of your states.  It could be as simple as snoring.  Sometimes your own snoring will wake you up but you will not be aware of it.  

A client told me about this and now most of my clients are sleeping because of this.  

It is a clock that actually monitors your sleep patterns.  I have been able to discover with them where their sleep is off track and how to remedy that.  The clock actually comes with a “sleep coach” program (its a little more pricey). The client that brought this to me said she finds it invaluable because now she sleeps.  She wishes she knew about it years ago.

Here is her story:

One of my clients discovered that their upstairs neighbor woke every day at 4am to get ready for work.  When they came down the clumpy staircase it woke them up from which ever sleep cycle.  She figured this out because the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach” target=”_blank” title=”Insomnia natural”>ZEO was showing Sunday-Wednesday she was waking out of a state unexpectedly. Since then this client got a “sleep mate” and that has solved the issue.  

It is a clock that actually monitors your sleep patterns.  I have been able to discover with them where their sleep is off track and how to remedy that.  The clock actually comes with a “sleep coach” program (its a little more pricey) My clients first reaction to this clock was the cost, but once they started to actually benefit and get a good nights sleep it became “Priceless”  

So those are my recommendations to getting all of your sleep cycles through.
