It is hardly surprising that many folks suffer from sleeping problems these days, and look to sleep aids for a solution.
Often times we think it’s because of increased stress (hands up who is not experiencing increased stress right now), poor diet, lack of exercise etc leading to lying awake at night trying to sleep.
The fact is though that it’s probably a combination of all of these things, not just one or two – although often times – the problem can be solved by simply purchasing a new mattress. Your bed is the often over looked culprit in losing a nights sleep. Mattresses should be turned once a month (unless you have one of those ‘no-turn’ ones) and replaced at least every 2 years. How many of us can say we do that?
My advice would be to start by looking at the obvious and eliminate the problems like a doctor makes a diagnoses by discovering what you *don’t* have before turning to pharmaceuticals for help.
