Some other people take drugs like vallium 5 and others resort to alcohol in other for them to sleep. All these solutions normally have side effects and may not ultimately solve the problem of inability to sleep. "Sleep" is a vital factor in determining an individual’s wellbeing as well as health status. As a matter of fact we spend one third of our life sleeping. Do you know that there are natural ways for you to get some sleep even when it seems not possible?

MIND-BODY THERAPIES

In Africa and the world at large; when one cannot sleep or finds it difficult to sleep the first thing he or she is asked is: “what thought kept you awake”? It is also a fact that depressed persons find it difficult to sleep. The mind is an essential factor to sleep, therefore people should try mind-body therapies whenever they experience insomnia. Some examples of mind body therapy include Tai chi, Yoga, hypnosis etc.
