Hello Venkat,

 

I also have had this problem for many many years. I have seen many doctors for

this problem, allopathic, homeopathic, acupuncturists, you name it. My older 70

year old sister also suffers from this problem for 50+ years or since she was a

teenager. I didn't start having this problem until I contracted Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome.

 

In Chinese medicine they believe that the sleep problems lie in the cycles of

the liver and that the liver must recover in order to recover " normal " sleep. A

taxed, tired, toxic liver cause the whole body system to partially shut down. I

have tried dozens of things to help with my sleep over the years, including

liver cleanses. I did some ayurveda for a while as well and that did not cure

my problem. It is quite a complex problem according to my allopathic doctor,

who happens to be Indian, here in California. Her mother suffers from this as

well in India and she has not been able to help her mother. My alternative

doctor also tells me the same thing, that sleep disorders are very complex. I

do take St. John's wort, L. Ornithene (an amino acid) and 10 mg of Ambien to

sleep at night. I have forgotten at times to take the Ambien and do not go into

a deep sleep, but stay on the outside of sleep in a rather strange

consciousness that is restful to the body, but not mind and is

not sleep. There must be so many of us with this problem. I'd like to hear

people's stories about their experiences also. I'm still looking for answers

myself.

 

Blessings, Linda

When I reached 40 years old, I began taking sub-lingual

melatonin, which helped me get better sleep. I am now 63 and still

use melatonin nightly.

 

I used to be quite constipated. I increased my dialy fiber

intake and began taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance. I began to take

Magnesium, 3 times a day, and I needed less vitamin C. I upped my

daily fiber intake. Inulin nourishes healthy bowel bacteria, which

makes for fluffier bowel movements. I now take 3 rounded teaspoons

of inulin fiber daily.

 

About 6 years ago I was diagnosed diabetic, so I had to do

drastic changes to my diet to eliminate most carbs. I also stopped

coffee and caffeinated soda. Much of my constipation greatly

decreased. I still take vitamin c, but much less than the 30 or more

grams I used to need to get free-flowing bowel movements. I now take

only about 5 grams a day.

 

No idea if any of this would help you, but it sure works for me.

I suppose you've probably tried melatonin. Can you get tryptophan where

you are? That sometimes is helpful in turning off the brain. Sometimes

that mind working overtime at night problem, I think can be helped by good

exercise during the day, calming music and other quiet activities before

and at bedtime, and so on. Probably you've done these things, but I

thought I'd mention them. Myself, I use traditional medicine for mood

disorder, as the mind running overtime can be a symptom of that. I hope

you find what you need.

Maybe there are too many toxic chemicals in your mattress and bedding.

I kid you not. I have chemical sensitivities. Have you tried

sleeping elsewhere and do you sleep better on a different mattress?

Lane,Chennai India, to whom I went with the same problem some 20

years ago. He knows my case history. He treated me with some

medicines for some time. On one of the visits, he told , drink as

much water as possible, leaving some space in the stomach for easy

breathing. That will solve all your problems. It worked. I went

to him a month later and told that I am cured. Water is the best

cure, he said. It removes extra alkalines, acids, salts .... and

keeps the liver intact. One thing he adviced ( I am a vegetarian ) -

dont take fried eatables from outside the house. If you want

prepare them in your house; after taking take two glasses of

tolerable-hot warm water. Nothing would happen. Till this day, I

am getting good sleep. No constipation, no head-ache. Water is the

real medicine; why dont you try it?
