Recent medical research findings show that a lack of sleep can seriously affect the function of the body and in the most severe cases can even cause death.
Studies reveal that sleep turns on the body's restoration cycle, when this sleep is disturbed or absent the body does not have the time it needs to reset all of the organs and regulatory systems.
Sleep deprivation can cause lower white blood cell count, disorganize Leptin, Ghrelin and insulin hormone levels, inhibit brain function and decrease Cortisol secretion.
These mishaps can result in decreased immune function, diabetes, brain damage and irregular growth.
If these sleep issues go unchecked, without some form of sleep aide or medication, it can wreak havoc on the body which makes it more susceptible to disease.
There are many sleep aides available, both prescription and over the counter, that can regulate an unstable sleep cycle to restore normal body function.
Some sleep aides have been shown to cause undesirable side effects such as medication interaction, headaches, and dependency.
Many side effects can be avoided by using some natural sleep aides that include no additives, fillers or colorants.
Variations of these aides may also contain vitamins and minerals which will also benefit your body in repairing itself each night.
Those that continue lack of sleep double the chances of fatality from many diseases, including (but not limited to); cardiovascular, cancer, respiratory and infection.
These herbal remedies may still carry risk of minimal side effects and patients should consult their physician on all of the possible solutions.
