Escape from insomnia!! I'll recommend a supplement that has been effective for insomnia.

As the saying goes, sleep is the best medicine, so getting good sleep and waking up leads to a refreshing morning and a different day. The pain of not being able to sleep, insomnia!! Let me introduce a supplement that helped escape insomnia^^

 

Is it the influence of genetics, or is it just how I was born...

Other family members are fine, but my biological mother had insomnia. I also had difficulty falling asleep since I was young.

When I lie down in bed to sleep, I can't fall asleep, so I toss and turn, lie on my side, rest my head, and lie face down. My position changes several times, but I still can't sleep.

To fall asleep, I was told not to think about anything, so I sometimes just stared blankly without thinking of anything, and there were times when Yang Se-gi couldn't sleep either, so he just closed his eyes quietly. Since I couldn't sleep, I wondered if I was the only one in the world who couldn't sleep right now, and the thought that I was the only one awake on this night made me feel isolated from the world, along with feelings of anxiety and fear.

If I try to fall asleep like that, I would toss and turn for 1-2 hours before I finally fell asleep. Falling asleep in just an hour was a very rare case of falling asleep very quickly.

Since I was young, whether as a student or an adult, I had to toss and turn for 1-2 hours to fall asleep. I also stayed awake all night lying down. Even when I quickly lay down, I often only managed to fall asleep after passing dawn.

 

And since starting my career, my available time gradually decreased, so I was able to fall asleep faster than when I was a student, but compared to ordinary people, it still took me a very long time to fall asleep.

So I tried everything to address insomnia, factors that disturb sleep, and methods to help me sleep well.

I learned the rumba through moderate exercise and slow movements, not intense workouts.

Since caffeine is considered bad for coffee and tea, I never drank coffee at cafes and only had things like smoothies.

Regular life, warm milk before sleeping, a warm shower before bed, quiet music before falling asleep, and lying in bed a little earlier than your usual sleep time!!

Everyone may have different experiences, but I didn't see much of an effect.

Still, since things have improved compared to when I was struggling at work, I didn't feel it as much.

And after getting married and having children, I was living without feeling much insomnia, perhaps because I was lacking sleep.

 

However, I started experiencing insomnia again a few years ago.

I'm not that sensitive by nature, and even when I experience stress, I tend to ignore it and move on without much concern.

I'm the type to think positively, believe that time will solve everything, and just move on...

It seems that my sleep and sleep habits are like that. Whether I have stress or not, it takes a long time to fall asleep, and if I do manage to fall asleep, it's a relief. There have been times when I couldn't sleep well or only fell asleep after tossing and turning for a few hours.

 

 

This is a photo I took while checking the time when I couldn't sleep well. It was about a week before my period. I lay down around 12:30, and I kept closing my eyes for two hours, trying to sleep without thinking about anything, but I couldn't fall asleep. I kept going back and forth to the bathroom several times, and I was tossing and turning in bed until 2:30. When I sleep, I don't look at the time even if I can't fall asleep. Because if I see the time and realize how much time has passed, I get anxious and more distressed, so I avoid looking. But that night, I looked at the time.

Who would have thought that so much time had passed like this? I usually toss and turn and take quite a while to fall asleep, but in recent months, insomnia has become even worse due to premenstrual symptoms.

 

What is insomnia?

Insomnia is a condition where individuals have difficulty falling asleep consistently, despite having a proper environment and conditions conducive to sleep, often experiencing frequent awakenings during the night or waking up early in the morning and struggling to fall back asleep.

What are the symptoms of insomnia?

Sleep-onset insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep, which in such cases can take more than an hour to fall asleep.

Sleep maintenance disorder type: manifests as frequently waking up during sleep, with more than 5 awakenings, or being awake for more than 40 minutes after waking up.

Early awakening type: A pattern where there is no difficulty falling asleep and the person does not wake up frequently during the night, but wakes up too early and has a shorter total sleep duration.

 

My insomnia symptoms seem to include sleep-onset insomnia and some sleep maintenance insomnia.

When I lie down to sleep, I can't fall asleep immediately and have to toss and turn for 1-2 hours. People who sleep well probably don't understand this feeling. The pain of not being able to sleep, it's so difficult. I'm not under stress or worried about anything, but the frustration and anxiety of lying down and trying to sleep without success!! Recently, maybe because of hormones, I really can't sleep a week before my period.

 

Unlike when I was young, I can't sleep well, and when I wake up, my resilience, condition, and health-related fatigue accumulate. I tried moderate exercise that is said to help with insomnia, and since caffeine from coffee and tea is not good, I avoided coffee entirely even when I went to cafes, opting instead for fresh fruit juice and various teas.

Regular lifestyle, warm milk before sleep, a warm shower before bed, quiet music before falling asleep, and lying in bed a little earlier than usual!! Despite trying these, I didn't see much effect, so I looked for supplements that are good for insomnia.

I also went to the hospital with my mother who has insomnia, and she was prescribed sleeping pills. Of course, sleeping pills help, but they are medications, and I don't think it's good to take them continuously. My mother initially found them helpful, but she felt burdened because she kept taking them, thinking she couldn't sleep without them.

So, I started looking for supplements that are good for sleep.

 

 

Melatonin is called the "sleep hormone," and it is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.

Melatonin is a brain hormone that regulates sleep. When you wake up in the morning and are exposed to light, melatonin secretion is suppressed, helping the brain wake up. In the evening, melatonin is released to induce sleep. As people age, the pineal gland, which secretes melatonin, degenerates, leading to decreased melatonin production. As a result, many people suffer from insomnia.

Melatonin peaks between 2 and 4 a.m., and when melatonin is actively secreted, we fall into a deep sleep.

During sleep like this, melatonin removes waste products from the brain, enters the bloodstream, and spreads throughout the body, providing healing functions to the organs.

Problems caused by a deficiency of melatonin 

Sleep problems: A deficiency in melatonin can reduce the quality and quantity of sleep, potentially leading to common sleep disorders such as insomnia.

Disruption of biological rhythms: affects daily life patterns, regulation of sleep and other bodily functions, overactivation of energy intake and expenditure, and various physiological functions.

Jet lag syndrome: A deficiency in melatonin is linked to sleep problems caused by jet lag, a phenomenon where changes in travel time disrupt sleep patterns, leading to an inability to adapt due to imbalance in sleep cycles.

 

Melatonin is a substance found in our bodies, and when it is deficient, symptoms like insomnia can occur. Thinking that my body might be lacking melatonin, I decided to take a supplement containing the melatonin hormone.

Melatonin is a hormone or supplement that helps with sleep by regulating the body's circadian rhythm (a very important factor that determines when we sleep and wake up), aiding in the treatment of insomnia.

I tried everything: warm milk before bed, warm showers, regular routines, moderate exercise, avoiding caffeine, not thinking about anything before sleep, and calming music!! Nothing worked well, but after taking melatonin supplements, the time it took to fall asleep when lying down decreased.

I used to toss and turn for hours every night, but now I no longer experience hours of tossing and turning. I fall asleep unknowingly before I realize it.

Melatonin hormone has various effects, including helping with insomnia, sleep disturbances, and sleep improvement, as well as strengthening the immune system, delaying brain aging, reducing migraines, protecting bone density, and preventing cancer. These days, there are many types of melatonin supplements available.

Insomnia is a difficult condition where, even when trying to sleep, it doesn't go well according to my will, causing mental and physical fatigue, discomfort, and distress from not being able to sleep. Try various methods for insomnia and also take melatonin, which directly affects sleep.

There may be individual differences, but I have almost completely recovered from insomnia, so I would like to recommend melatonin to those suffering from insomnia^^
