Suffering from sleepless nights? Here's the answer...""How to Finally End Your Insomnia and Wake Up Feeling Refreshed and Energized All Day Long!""Is this scenario familiar to you?You get to bed early because you have a very important presentation tomorrow. You shut your eyes and hope that you fall asleep. Time passes by. You look at the clock and it's 1:00 am. You got to wake up at 6:00 in the morning. You start to feel frustrated. You turn around and around, but to no avail. Your mind starts to wander. Then the first trace of dawn comes in. Your tension builds up to its highest peak. You want to scream in desperation:Why Can't I Go to Sleep!!?!?From Reed FlorenDear Sleep Deprived Friend, Do you constantly stare at the ceiling all night long instead of sleeping? Do you often feel tired because you do not get enough sleep? Or do you still feel tired after getting enough sleep? Do you frequently wake up during the night and suffer the frustration of not being able to go back to sleep again?If you are experiencing one or more of the above mentioned incidents, you may be suffering from a sleep disorder.We spend around 1/3 of our lives sleeping. Since we dedicate a lot of our time to this routine, it is fairly obvious that the importance of sleeping is almost equivalent to eating and drinking. We should give utmost attention in maintaining a healthy sleeping habit.Some people regard sleep as irrelevant. They doze off late at night and then wake up very early in the morning to go to work. As they go about their day, they feel restless and tired. Many would do anything to fall asleep yet they can't. As a result, their disorder impairs their ability to do their job well, negatively affects their relationships, and may pose some future health problems because it lowers the immune system.Some individuals may sleep only a few hours a night, but they are full of vitality during the day. Their body is designed to adapt to a different sleep pattern. Most people, however, have to take around 8 hours of sleep to fully function well in their daytime activities. There is no ""norm.""Victims of insomnia have a lot to cry about. They want to have 6 to 8 hours of sleep, but their sorry condition prevents them from attaining this.
