Sleep is one of the most important aspects of health and has been called the ‘third pillar’ of health (after exercise and good food), by some. Unfortunately, it is one of the most neglected and undervalued. Proper sleep could make you sharper at work or at school, and give you more energy to carry out your work and activities, during the day, with excitement and gusto.

Many people live very hectic lives and are always on the move, so they have precious little time to sleep. Some others suffer from a natural disorder called insomnia, that makes them not to sleep; but a majority of people do not get the recommended amount of sleep per day (7-8 hours), do so for avoidable reasons.

Now these are three drinks that if you consume, no matter where you are and what you are doing, will make you want to sleep, and hence get to enjoy the benefits of sleep.

1.Cherry Juice and Vanilla drink

This drink is made with the tart cherry which is full of melatonin, the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycles, and vanilla which has a soothing quality that helps to calm your nerves down.

2. Fresh Chamomile-Lavender tea

This drink is a very powerful sedative because it combines two of the most powerful natural relaxing herbs known: chamomile – which contains a chemical called apigenin, which mimicks the response of an anti-anxiety drug – and lavender – which has been proven to induce drowsiness, and was known for centuries to have a soothing scent.

3. Warm milk

This drink is made with warm milk of course, but you could add some honey, and a little sprinkling of nutmeg. Warm milk has been known for ages to induce sleep because it raises internal body temperature, and has a psychological sleep inducing effect.

Honey contains the amino acid L-tryptophan which is converted into serotonin in the body, and at night times, is converted into melatonin which as we have earlier seen, induces sleep.

Nutmeg also contains a lot of very powerful chemicals that it is possible to overdose on it and fall ill; but if this spice is taken in the correct amount (not more than a quarter teaspoon), it can act as a very powerful tranquilizer.

These drinks are easy and cheap to make, at home or anywhere else, and they are guaranteed to make you feel sleepy, so you are able to finally catch up on all that sleep that you have been missing.

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of health and has been termed by some as the ‘third pillar’ of health (after exercise and good food). Unfortunately, it is one of the most neglected and undervalued.

A majority of people do not get the recommended amount of sleep per day (7-8 hours) for avoidable reasons but some people naturally suffer from a disorder that causes them not to sleep called Insomnia, which can fortunately, be treated. If this is you, then read on to see the top four ways to get you sleeping.

1. Regular practice of yoga

Insomnia can happen if there is a combination of stress in your mind and intense physical strain on your body.

Yoga has been proven to work on people with insomnia by relaxing your mind, breath and muscles so your mind is slowed down to get you sleeping.

The breathing and relaxation in yoga, relaxes our mind and body.

 2. Having sex

After having sex,  the hormone prolactin is released which induces a deep feeling of sleep and is the reason why people after making love, usually end up sleeping together.

This is especially effective for people with anxiety or stress that will not let them sleep, or sleep disorders such as insomnia.

3. Regular exercise

Regular exercise helps you sleep better and has even been proven to work on people with sleep disorders (such as insomnia).

When you exercise correctly, your body becomes tired and fatigued, so you are forced to rest and go to bed.

Just make sure you do not exercise within two hours of your bedtime.

4. Reduction of afternoon naps

Afternoon naps are generally very healthy and recommended, but for someone suffering from insomnia it is not because, when a sufferer of insomnia takes an afternoon nap, he’ll find it very difficult to sleep at night.

So avoid it.

If u must nap, do not let it exceed thirty minutes and do not do it after three in the afternoon, and make sure you strictly stick to your afternoon nap schedule even on the weekends.
