mood, mental, and physical health. You can’t function optimally when you wake up tired. This means your optimal morning routine really begins the night before. Try going to bed at the same time every night and waking at the same time every morning. Adults need anywhere from 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Find what works for you and allow yourself the time you need for adequate rest. Chronic lack of sleep is now considered a health risk and has been associated with several health conditions. These include but are not limited to:
A good night's sleep is as important as diet and exercise for a healthy life. Stress and poor adrenal function affect sleep, and sleeplessness is sometimes a symptom of adrenal fatigue. If stress is the reason why you are not sleeping well, any relaxation technique before bedtimes such as breathing exercise, yoga, or qi-gong can help improve sleep. Cognitive therapy and compassion focus therapy have also been found to be helpful. Additionally, it is essential you take an adrenal support supplement. You can also use the aid of herbs, flower essences, and essential oils to help promote sleep such as valerian, passionflower, lemon balm, wood betony, ashwagandha, etc. Remember, I'm always here to help, email me at Toni@drToniCamacho.com if you have any questions on adrenal health or poor sleep.
