People who suffer from Insomnia typically are unable to fall asleep within the first 10-15 minutes of going to bed or wake during the night and are unable to go back to sleep. This unwanted ability of staying awake can result in significant distress with physical, mental, emotional and financial consequences.
For some sufferers there is one underlying cause, but for others there can be a multitude of contributing factors. Anxiety, stress, depression, food allergies, excess caffeine, excess alcohol, poor diet, recreational and medical drugs and low Gaba levels are some of the most common causes of insomnia.
The neurotransmitters Melatonin, GABA and Serotonin play important roles in helping the body drift off and stay asleep. While melatonin doesn't work for everyone, it may be an effective insomnia treatment for you.
