Mind Over Mattress: Why Insomnia and Sleep Apnea Need Natural Prevention 

Insomnia, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorders are disruptive and harmful to every aspect of our bodies. These conditions tend to develop when our lifestyle is overly stressful  or can indicate an underlying condition. One of the worst things having sleepless nights can do to the body is disrupt our circadian rhythm.

The circadian rhythm helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle, affecting our hormones and our cognition, which has tremendous impacts on the body as a whole. Our bodies operate on a 24-hour cycle rising and setting with the sun. Underlying problems such as lifestyle stress, menopause, mental health issues, hormonal imbalances, and even changes in routine create variations in our sleep-wake cycle.

When our circadian rhythm is off balance, it can cause further changes to our hormone levels, affect cellular regulation, cause changes to our neurotransmitters, and harm the relationship we have with our bodies. Physicians in the industry of medical care have forgotten many of the basic, natural ways sleep problems can be treated, resorting to prescription drugs first without acknowledging the real problems underneath. :JUst take a pill” doesn’t address the root cause.

For symptoms of insomnia, sleep apnea, and other disorders, a natural approach makes sure that the real issues are listened to and that each individual is cared for according to their needs. Dr. Dan Wool, NMD, listens to his patients and can provide naturopathic treatments to diagnose and treat the whole body that’s affected by poor sleep.
