Sleeplessness

USE THIS REMEDY IF:

you wake up during the night, and have difficulty, sometimes great difficulty, falling back to sleep. You can also use this remedy before you go to bed if you think you will not be able to sleep through the night.

Sleeplessness is a commonly-occurring problem for many adults. It can have many different causes, most of them psychological in origin (but some are age-related). When you travel, sleeplessness can occur due to disrupted biological rhythms.

It helps most people to get out of bed and move around the room gently. Do not begin work, watch TV or start any other process which is likely to get your brain cells working; this can make returning to sleep less likely.

If thoughts keep tumbling through your mind, try WORRYING, page 303, instead of this remedy.

If your body seems jumpy, nervous or full of energy, try TOO KEYED UP, page 289.

HOW TO USE THIS REMEDY:

Make and drink this remedy at 15 minute intervals until you feel sleepy.

If you have chronic insomnia, make and drink the remedy twice in succession before going to bed. Used each night for four or five nights in succession, it might help significantly.

If you experience no improvement after 3 glasses of this remedy, switch to the most appropriate among the alternative remedies listed below, or use the RESISTANCE, page 229.
