Insomnia and the Adrenal Glands

Have you ever had those nights where you have no trouble falling asleep but are waking frequently in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep?  This is when you start worrying or obsessing about something that happened at work, worrying about your kids or your husband or something the neighbor said to you the previous day.  Are you not waking refreshed because you are tossing and turning at night or awake for over an hour in the middle of the night?  Have you found yourself tired during the day but unable to nap?  Are you craving sugar or salty foods?  Are you constantly hungry or get low blood sugar?  Are you surprised that after taking sleeping medication you still wake in the middle of the night?

What you are experiencing is usually due to too much stress affecting your adrenal glands which then affect your sleep.  The adrenal glands are small organs located above your kidneys which are responsible for your ability to adapt to and respond to stressful situations.  They provide your fight or flight response and produce hormones such as epinephrine, cortisol and DHEA.  Most of the time your adrenals are able to provide you with energy reserves to deal with the physical and emotional stressors of the day.  This includes:

• Exercise
• Illness
• Work Pressures
• Relationship demands (good or bad such as impending marriage or divorce)
• Exciting new projects or trips
• Dietary stresses such as fasting or erratic eating behaviors
• Self-imposed emotional stressors like worry, anxiety, depression or judgment

Often people will find that after an extended period of time of cumulative stress their bodies will no longer be able to recover from the stresses well.  This is because of the lack of reserves left in the adrenal glands and this will affect how well your body will recover during the sleep cycle.  Lack of sleep is related to increased risk in developing viral or bacterial infections, irritability, fatigue, mental fog, lack of exercise tolerance, allergies and more.  Join us tomorrow to find out how to increase your sleep quality and recover from stress more quickly.

CAIRO — Several thousand women demanding the end of military rule marched through downtown Cairo on Tuesday evening in an extraordinary expression of anger over images of soldiers beating, stripping and kicking female demonstrators in Tahrir Square.

Insomnia can complicate our health and its better to take care of it before we start on the pills because pills leave behind side effects. Popping in pills is not the solution. Every once in a while all of us get stressed out but we should not try to worsen things for ourselves.
