Natural Sleep Aids Vs Insomnia Medications

If your sleeping problem has been going on for a long time now, you have probably already been to doctors, and tried many different insomnia medications and likely every trick in the book you've heard of to help.If your sleep problem is relatively new, then you're probably just looking for options, or anything that will help at this point. Either way, I want to fill you in on some valuable information that will get you on the path to helping your sleep problems.

A very common theme in the past for doctors is pushing insomnia medications. There are a ton on the market, and you see so many advertisements for them on TV (while you're up at night trying to sleep!), that they have been the accepted cure for sleeping problems for some time now.

The problem is that these sleep medications come with some baggage that we would much rather be without. Some of the most common side affects are:

• Dependence - You may become reliant on the medication, and even sleep worse than usual without it
• Tolerance - Often they will require taking more and more over time to get the same result
• Withdrawal Symptoms - nausea, sweating, shaking and other things can accompany an abrupt stop
• Masking an Underlying Problem - medical, mental or sleep disorders can be hidden when they could be treated
• Major Daytime Side Affects - Drowsiness, Forgetfulness, Confusion and Dry mouth are among the serious side affects people have to deal with

So is there a safer and less problematic alternative to your problems sleeping?

Natural Sleep Aids

Many people are turning to herbal, or natural sleep aids to deal with their insomnia. While they are a newer, and less studied alternative to medications, in most cases they have far less side affects, and leave you feeling much more refreshed the next day.

If you have any serious health conditions, or are pregnant, like anything else, you should check with your doctor before giving one a try. But, if you are simply looking for a safer and healthier way to get to sleep at night and counting sheep isn't working right now, consider natural sleep aids a great alternative.
