I have insomnia and emergence from September, I have 8am classes, I need help now!? Ok, so for insomnia appeared in recent years I have had, but its gotten worse lately (no matter how tired I am, it takes me like four hours to get to sleep), but he was allowed to treat because I had later classes or I did not work until night, so I can sleep more (still on average I receive 4 to 6 hours of sleep per day), but to my disappointment lol I have eight hours of college classes beginning in September (I have no choice) and I have to awaken at 5:15 for those who are usually around when I fall asleep, so I need to find something to help me. I tried two types of prescription sleeping pills and they make me buzzed not tired lol, I tried over the counter orders, and tried to drink tea before bed and nothing works. I do not drink coffee or alcohol if it is not affecting me. I'm afraid if I do not understand how to find sleep, I'm really sick during the school year only because right now when I'm tired of not sleeping I have a super cold and my constant lungs hurt because my body is exhausted. ideas?
Try valerian root. It tastes aweful but it is not addictive. You can usually find at any grocery store natuaral :-)
Valerian has been used for insomnia and other disorders. [5] [6] [7]
In the United States Valerian is sold as a dietary supplement. Therapeutic use has increased as dietary supplements have gained popularity, especially after the health Dietary Supplement and Education Act was passed in 1994. This law allowed the distribution of many agents as OTC supplements, and therefore allowed them to circumvent the regulatory requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Valerian is used against sleeping disorders, restlessness and anxiety, and as a muscle relaxant. Valerian often seems to work when taken for long periods (several weeks), although many users find that it takes effect immediately. Some studies have demonstrated that valerian extracts interact with GABA receptors and benzodiazepines. Valerian is also used traditionally to treat gastrointestinal pain and irritable bowel syndrome. However, long-term safety studies are missing. As valepotriates may be mutagenic potential [8 valerian] should only be used after consultation with a physician.
Valerian is sometimes recommended as first-line treatment when benefit-risk analysis dictates. Valerian is often indicated as transition medication when benzodiazepines abandonment.
Valerian has uses in herbal medicine as a sedative. The main current use of valerian is as a remedy for insomnia, a recent meta-analysis provides evidence of effectiveness. [9] It has been recommended for epilepsy but that is not supported by research (although an analogue of one of its constituents, valproic acid, is used as an anticonvulsant drug and the mood stabilizing). Valerian root generally does not lose its effectiveness over time.
Although shown to an effective remedy for reducing anxiety, it has also been reported to cause headaches and night terrors in some individuals. [Citation needed] This may be because some people do not have a digestive conversion property necessary for the proper break Valerian. In these individuals Valerian can cause agitation, and it is reported to taste. [10] One study found that valerian tends to lull the agitated person and stimulate the fatigued person, resulting in a balancing effect on the system [11].
