Insomnia cures and home remedies “insomnia”

Causes
Insomnia can be caused by:
* Psychoactive drugs or stimulants, including certain medications, herbs, caffeine, cocaine, ephedrine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, MDMA, methamphetamine and modafinil
* Hormone shifts such as those that precede menstruation and those during menopause
* Life problems like fear, stress, anxiety, emotional or mental tension, work problems, financial stress, unsatisfactory sex life
* Mental disorders such as clinical depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, general anxiety disorder
* Disturbances of the circadian rhythm, such as shift work and jet lag, can cause an inability to sleep at some times of the day and excessive sleepiness at other times of the day.
Jet lag is seen in people who travel through multiple time zones, as the time relative to the rising and setting of the sun no longer coincides with the body’s internal concept of it. The insomnia experienced by shift workers is also a circadian rhythm sleep disorder.
* Insomnia-Estrogen Estrogen is considered to play a significant role in women’s mental health (including insomnia). A conceptual model of how estrogen affects mood was suggested by Douma et al 2005 based on their extensive literature review relating activity of endogenous, bio-identical and synthetic estrogen with mood and
well-being. They concluded the sudden estrogen withdrawal, fluctuating estrogen, and periods of sustained estrogen low levels correlated with significant mood lowering. Clinical
recovery from depression postpartum, perimenopause, and postmenopause was shown to be effective after levels of estrogen were stabilized and/or restored.
* Certain neurological disorders, brain lesions, or a history of traumatic brain injury
* Medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism and Wilson’s syndrome
* Abuse of over-the counter or prescription sleep aids can produce rebound insomnia
* Poor sleep hygiene
* Parasomnia, which includes a number of disruptive sleep events including nightmares, sleepwalking, violent behavior while sleeping, and REM behavior disorder, in which a person moves his/her physical body in response to events within his/her dreams
* The full moon lunar phase
* A rare genetic condition can cause a prion-based, permanent and eventually fatal form of insomnia called fatal familial insomnia
A common misperception is that the amount of sleep a person requires
decreases as he or she ages. The ability to sleep for long periods,
rather than the need for sleep, appears to be lost as people get older. Some elderly insomniacs toss and turn in bed and occasionally fall off the bed at night, diminishing the amount of sleep they receive.
An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Finding the underlying cause of insomnia is usually necessary to cure it. Insomnia can be common after the loss of a loved one, even years or decades after the death, if they have not gone through the grieving process. Overall, symptoms and the degree of their severity affect each individual differently depending on their mental health, physical condition, and attitude or personality.

what’s the difference between physical therapist and massage therapist?
I was thinking massage therapist, but I don’t know which is the better route to go.
I never thought of physical therapist.
How much does it cost to be a massage therapist?
They are vastly different careers. In a nutshell, a massage therapist does, well…massages. That is the limit of their technique for the most part. PTs do some massage, but their focus is really in restoring physical function; therefore, the repertoire of a PT includes not just massage, but strengthening, manual therapy, balance and gait training, stretching, etc.
As such, the educational requirements differs dramatically for each career. A massage therapist is typically a certificate program taking anywhere from 6-10 months to 2 years to complete. A physical therapist degree is at least a master’s degree, but nearly all programs are now doctorate (DPT). The costs of becoming an MT can range anywhere from several hundred dollars at a community college to $10-15,000 at a private college. The cost of getting a DPT degree can range anywhere between $70-200,000 depending on if you go to state schools, private schools or a combination between your undergraduate and graduate degrees.
As far as opportunities, you should be aware that there is a very high demand for PTs. Whereas, MTs are struggling in an economy where discretionary spending is limited. Most MTs also cannot work full time, not just because of a low demand, but also because most people cannot tolerate it as full time work…it’s very repetitive work and burn out is common. Since most people work only part time, or work for themselves, getting benefits can be difficult. Average pay is about $17 an hour, but this doesn’t include tips. I always say, if you are lucky enough to work full time, count on a salary around $35,000…figure an extra $4-5,000 in tips assuming 15-20% tip rate. National average salary for a PT, on the other hand, is usually at least double that…and you do not need to rely on tips.
However, PT is an academically challenging career. You have to have a very strong background in the sciences. Entrance into a PT program is highly competitive. Being an MT is great for a certificate career and is, for the most part, enjoyable work. Its good as a second source of income, but don’t expect to be the breadwinner of the family…count on a working spouse to provide you with benefits.
