Humans need at least 7-8 hours of sound sleep every 24 hours, to remain mentally alert and physically active during work hours. Older people may sleep less at night and have small naps during the day to fulfill the body’s requirement of sleep. But getting a restful sleep is not something that everyone enjoys. There are many people who suffer from insomnia either due to a physical disturbance or a mental turmoil.

Sleep disorders like insomnia can play havoc with the daily circadian of an individual’s life. Each and every individual requires a certain amount of sleep to be able to perform at optimum level. The hours of sleep that are necessary depend on age and other lifestyle factors. A person who has not had a good night’s sleep is likely to be listless throughout the day. Sleeplessness lowers the sense of wellbeing that is necessary for efficient working.

Adolescent insomnia is a recent phenomenon. Even though we think of adolescence as the most enjoyable and best period of life, things have changed considerably over the past few years. Adolescence has never been an easy time but the present environment of increased peer pressure and anxiety about success has made this stage of life a time of extreme turmoil for teen and parents alike. These two stress factors are enough to cause depression and consequently insomnia in most cases.

Insomnia by itself is not a disease. In most cases it is a symptom of an underlying condition. Insomnia can be treated in more ways than one. In patients where depression is the condition that is causing insomnia, treating depression will cure insomnia too.
Conventional treatment of insomnia involves sedatives. But these sleep inducing drugs do not cure chronic insomnia. Even short term use can have a psychological effect on the patient. Some patients start believing that they just cannot sleep without the pill. Long term use has its own repercussions and results in high levels of dependence.

A homeopath’s approach to any particular symptom that the body shows is different from those who practice conventional medicine. Homeopathy perceives all symptoms as a manifestation of body’s struggle to self-heal. Homeopaths normally do not prescribe medication for individual symptoms. For a successful homeopathic treatment the professional must examine the patient and get answers to a lot of questions regarding lifestyle, eating and sleeping habits, fads, if any, family history and much more.

On the face of it is seems difficult to believe that young children can suffer from insomnia. Insomnia is usually associated with adult conditions like tension and pressure and these are generally not associated with children.
Let us first understand how sleep patterns are formed in children. From birth to four weeks there is little that changes in the sleep-wake cycle. As the child approaches the age of 6 months sleep patterns start getting adjusted to a 24-hour cycle. This allows them to align themselves with night sleep and short daytime naps. As the child becomes a toddler, the sleep patterns are set accordingly by the ‘circadian clock’ or biological clock.

* 10 drops Roman Chamomile
* 5 drops Clary Sage
* 5 drops Bergamot
Directions: Blend the oils well in a clean dark-colored glass bottle. Add 1-2 drops to a tissue and place inside your pillow to aid you in falling asleep.
If you prefer to make a diffuser blend that you enjoy during the hour before bedtime, make a blend with a ratio of 2 drops Roman Chamomile to 1 drop Clary Sage to 1 drop Bergamot and add to your diffuser.
