If you answer this simple question with a … 
No.
Sometimes.
Depends on my stress load.
Or anything else but a resounding “sure do”, then your health is no where near as good as it can be. Sleep is essential for good health. Not just mental health, but your physical well being also.
When we sleep we regenerate, your body heals faster and more effectively when you sleep. So if you are tossing and turning or simply not sleeping deeply, then you wake without all the many benefits sleep offers.
Sleep is a simple process, you lie down for 6-8 hours and rest … this is a physical benefit.
Also as soon as you close your eyes your brain goes into a deeper brain wave state. In fact you go through three changes while you sleep.
First you go into the Alpha Brain Wave sleep pattern. This is where you dream in colour, process many stresses and can enjoy many wonderful images. Following this you enter the Theta Brain Wave state, which is your thought state.
This is why we are told to sleep on it, so you can wake up with a better idea or view on things. This is your Theta working well.
Following Theta you enter Delta, this is the true magic as this is where you recharge your batteries. You only stay in Delta for about 4 minutes and then you climb back up to Theta, then Alpha and then back down again.
An ideal sleep cycle will have 4 cycles of this. So you only have about 20 minutes of Delta sleep. Which is all you need.
The problem lies with most sleep issues is that you stay in the Alpha & Theta states and never enter Delta. Or the cycle is so slow you only go through 2 or 3 cycles and hence only getting 50-75% of the benefits.
The reason you either stay in Alpha or have less cycles is that your body and mind have been programmed to do this by your work and stress loads. In times of stress or even over work, you can have your mind mulling over thoughts as you enter sleep, so you stay in Alpha longer and hence the cycles also slow.
If this stress remains then after a period of time this becomes your “new normal” so that even when stresses ease or disappear you still seem to fight sleep, wake up tired or toss and turn all night. You have just programmed yourself to be like this …
But does this mean there is no answer?
Actually no …
The stresses that surround you, your overall health and well being is simply a habitual pattern. Formed over time so that certain functions work well and others don’t … such as poor sleep.
So to fix your sleep issues, you need to retrain your body and mind to sleep better, to energise, and to be healthy. Programming sounds weird, but it is a simple process using reflexes and acupressure. The daily application trains your body to correct these poor patterns that have formed.
Combined with treatment in the clinic, your sleep can be as fitful as the proverbial baby.there are many ways to not only reduce your stress, but many simple ways to improve how your body and mind processes stress. That way even in the hectic fast paced, stressful lives we lead … you will still sleep “like a baby”.
My clinic offers a sleep program, that not only fixes your sleep but boosts your overall health too. An initial consultation and treatment locates the major faults that underlie your sleep problems as well as teaches you some simple techniques to use at home, along with Homeopathic remedies to support the process.
Then a weekly treatment for 4 weeks as it takes 30 days for your body to form new habits. Then a fortnightly treatment program for 2 months to make sure these habits have stuck, and finally a monthly visit to maintain your health and well being.
