Insomnia

Insomnia refers to an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep; a tendency to wake up too early, experiencing poor quality sleep – whether this is temporary, periodic  or chronic!
  •  Without resolve we are unable to enjoy life due to prolonged tiredness and exhaustion never seeming to get enough sleep … in sleep debt, unable to cope and function!
  • As a rule, those of you who are unable to get off to sleep are likely to be experiencing a present life problem that  overwhelms your thoughts and emotions. You are unable to let go of your thoughts, worries and concerns.
  • Without resolve your mind is preoccupied and cannot switch off to sleep.
  • Those who manage to get off to sleep and may get a few hours, but not enough to function well the following day – having only partially resolved the problem.
  • As time passes – days weeks months – we get into a cycle of sleep debt – the problem may dissipate in strength but still has a hold upon our mind as a worry.
  • As time passes, we are then able to get off to sleep, but experience insufficient natural rhythms of sleep cycles.
  • The worry surfaces from our subconscious mind and arouses us, in this agitated state we wake too early.
  • Emotionally we wake agitated and / or anxious – sweating, restless uncomfortable and cannot settle back to sleep.
  • The problem will not go away till you process the worry – in your healing.
