Description

Sleep disorders part 2
Whoever suffers from sleep disorders has a hard time, unrested, grumpy and contrite, relief is sought, usually the problems are already solidified, good advice is expensive.
According to the teacher of all teachers, all disturbances in behavior are due to an exaggerated ego, the thought palace rolls its senseless thoughts (would have, would have, if, if, if), the fears become overwhelming, the worries take on a life of their own, sleep is not to be thought of.
It is very difficult to break this cycle, and it takes a lot of effort to tackle the problem. Well, going to the doctor and asking for medication is one solution. The other option is to get rid of anxiety, if possible with the teachings of Buddha.
For all those "feel-good Buddhists" who have only just sniffed the essence of the teachings, for them an all-around punch is recommended, mixed with meditative exercises, sufficient physical exercise (working out and then going to sleep), and a coordinated medication, which, however, requires a fair amount of personal initiative.
I suggest to stock up on natural remedies (such as valerian, lavender, melatonin, sleep berry, St. John's wort and hemp oil) in the drugstore of one's choice, and then to buy sleep stars (over-the-counter sleep aid) and Lioran (passion flower herb) in the pharmacy. Furthermore, chamomile (powder) and Reishi extract (powder) are sleep-promoting (easy to get on the net). These should then be taken in an aging manner, always changing the composition, sometimes taking this remedy, leaving out that one, etc. (for legal reasons I must of course point out that a physician is to be asked before).
From traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) I recommend Suan Zao Ren Tang Wan for a long-term treatment, Fu Fang Zao Ren Jiao Nang for a quick solution, and Suan Zao Ren as well as Yuan Zhi as herbs or as a dried powder (then with water) also for long-term use, as well as Wu Wei Zi (Schizandra) for a daily intake (again: ask a doctor).
Sleep disorders are a serious problem, I understand that unrested you can not concentrate, also will not find yourself, the lack of sleep is strongly inhibiting.
For my part, I take two preparations a day from a small box containing all the substances listed above, I then choose them daily according to my mood, always different, so that no habituation can occur. My sleep is wonderful, however, it also happens to me that I sleep "badly" about two times a year, then I always feel "terrible". How do people who have this problem every day feel?
As always, the way is the goal!
Will he become someone who acts knowledgeably while walking, standing, sitting, falling asleep, waking up, talking and remaining silent?
