How’s Your Sleep?
How are you sleeping? Many patients I see in my naturopathic clinic have a sleeping issue. Stress and sleeplessness feed on each other. When you suffer from stress and adrenal fatigue, you will have more difficulty in getting a good night’s sleep. The more tired you become, the less you are capable of coping with stress and the more stressful life seems. Many patients we see in the clinic are victims of the wear and tear of modern 21st century lifestyles, and appear to be caught in this “no-win, no-rest cycle, yet they are probably blissfully unaware that stress is actually sabotaging their efforts to get a good night’s sleep. Research way back in the 1970’s revealed that stress decreases the time spent in the deepest, most restorative sleep stages and disrupts dream or “rapid-eye-movement” (REM) sleep. In one study, chonic insomniacs reported that during the time their sleep problems began, they also experienced a greater number of stressful life events than in previous years. These problems include marital problems, financial worries, the death of a close person or losing their job.

April 2, 2009 @ 7:47 amHi Lara,
Thanks for your comment. Sleeping pills are a real like giving somebody a credit card – you only cause bigger problems by not dealing with the underlying problems. And look at the mess the world is in now, somebody has to pay the price for “unlimited credit”. Same goes when doctors give you “a pill for every ill”. You need to deal with WHY you have insomnia, and by improving your energy levels and dealing with the underlying stresses, your sleep will improve. There is nothing better than a great night’s sleep. Go and visit your naturopathic doctor, and get them to do a salivary cortisol test. This may uncover some very useful information. Good luck, and let me know how you went. I have treated nearly 500 patients with Dr. Wilson’s Adrenal Fatigue Program, and I can tell you – with most people their sleep improves dramatically. And – all drug free.
All the Best,
Eric Bakker ND

June 6, 2009 @ 5:47 pmI need pills to sleep, as I have severe fibromyalgia pain at night,I also have Adrenal Fatigue,when on cortisone 15-20mg for AF the pain was mild and I slept,but now im down to 5mgs the pain is severe again,hence bad sleep,but the side effects of cortisone were not so good, I am on bio-identical hormones, Lugols drops, DHEA, adrenal support vitamins, am I missing anything that could help me more.
I would welcome any thoughts you may have.
