Kalms Night One-a-night will help you to establish a health sleep routine. Whether you have problems drifting off or you have problems staying asleep then Kalms are an ideal way to help you sleep more soundly.
Description:
Kalms Night One-a-Night - Not getting enough sleep, and not getting undisturbed sleep is both distressing and frustrating. It can lead to you feeling irritable, sluggish and temperamental the following day, unable to concentrate, making mistakes, having a short fuse and is generally bad for your health.
That is where Kalms Night One-a-night comes in. This natural blend of herbs, that have been traditionally used for their sedative action, works to help you sleep better.
The fact that this is a non habit forming sedative, natural, and won't leave you drowsy the next day means that this is one less thing that will work to keep you awake at night.
As 1 in 3 people suffer from insomnia at any one time you know that you are not alone in suffering and like many other people have turned to Kalms to help promote a healthy sleeping pattern.
Understanding Insomnia/Sleeplessness:
What is insomnia/sleeplessness?
Insomnia (also known as sleeplessness) can manifest itself in a number of different ways:
Difficulty falling asleep
Light or restless sleeping
Waking often during the night
Lying awake in the middle of the night
Waking early and being unable to get back to sleep
If the sleeplessness lasts for only a few nights it is described as transient. This type of insomnia is often caused by external factors such as a stressful lifestyle or noise. On these occasions a herbal sedative, such as Kalms Night, may help to restore the body's natural sleeping patterns.
Long-term insomnia that occurs every night and lasts a month or more is described as chronic. The causes of this can be more complicated and it is advisable to see your G.P. for diagnosis and treatment.
What are the causes?
Causes can vary with the individual but some common ones include:
Bottled up feelings, such as anger or frustration
A reaction to change or stress
External factors such as noise or temperature
Jet lag or shift work at unsociable hours
A partner with antisocial sleeping habits
A reaction to medicine or alcohol Medical conditions or pain
What are the effects?
Not getting enough sleep can affect different people in different ways and depends very much on your daily routine. It can make you irritable, worried or nervous, unable to concentrate or cope with even the simplest of tasks. You may find yourself feeling drowsy during the day, becoming forgetful or more accident prone than usual. Often people who are suffering from insomnia may feel short tempered and more likely to become impatient with others.
Anxiety about falling asleep itself can even be a problem as, the more you worry, the less likely you are to be able to sleep properly.
Physically, a lack of sleep can severely impair our ability to complete everyday tasks: driving while tired is responsible for thousands of accidents every year. Fatigue also lowers the immune system and makes your risk of illness much higher.
Dealing with sleeplessness:
It is vital to understand why you're not sleeping because then you can come up with a solution. Often insomnia is a symptom of an underlying problem rather than a cause - so dealing with the problem may well help - more than you might think.
Talk about your worries or write them down before you go to bed. Maybe you need to cut out caffeine before bedtime, or have a word with your noisy neighbour? Perhaps you need to get into a routine or get rid of a few pillows? Give yourself the best chance of sleeping soundly.
