Central Sleep Apnea

By Alexandra Williams


There is something most uncivilized about living in a civilized world. What is it? It's hard to get good night's sleep.

The symptoms of central sleep apnea are loud snoring, hypersomnolence (excessive daytime sleepiness), and restless sleep.The symptoms of central sleep apnea are loud snoring, hypersomnolence (excessive daytime sleepiness), and restless sleep.

Other beneficial vitamins and herbs are as follows:

However, the real nightmare is about to begin. After awhile, the sleeping pills stop working. Unfortunately, by then, the person is addicted. The doctor has been told the drugs are not addictive by the drug manufacturer. Anecdotal evidence, however, suggests drug manufacturers aren't giving doctors the whole story. There's big money in having a "non-addictive" sleeping pill. As the saying goes, "Money Talks."

* B Complex: good to combat stress, helps maintain a healthy nervous system function.* Calcium: helps relax muscles.* Chamomile: anti-anxiety herb, good for ADD, insomnia and stress.* Catnip: a calming herb, used to help you sleep with out affecting you the next day.* Hops: primarily used for treatment of anxiety and insomnia for thousands of years.

* Lemon Balm: Primarily used for ADD, insomnia, stress, and Irritable bowel syndrome.* Magnesium: helps relax muscles and is a good brain relaxing mineral.* Skullcap: used in the past primarily as a calmative and a digestive aid, and is known for its calming effects.* Valerian: is a tranquilizer and calming herb useful for disorders such as restlessness, nervousness, insomnia, hysteria, and headaches.

The above listed herbs can be found in combination by several manufacturers such as Source naturals and Planetary Formulas to name two. Herbal supplements can create a natural relaxing and stress relieving environment for the body before bedtime.Finally, there is melatonin which is a hormone naturally produced by the body. Melatonin is secreted from the pineal gland and is only released in darkness during sleep in healthy people. Unfortunately melatonin declines as we age and supplementation might be needed to help bring back normal sleep at night.

Anyone having trouble getting a good night's sleep can leave the sleeping pills in the cabinet. Instead, trying some 5-HTP, L-Theanine and GABA is an inexpensive option. These supplements are a safe and non-addictive alternative.
