In this podcast, we’re going to talk about sleeping pills and insomnia. I'm also going to show you how to use certain acupressure techniques to help get rid of stress and sleep better. I understand the feeling of not being able to sleep. It can feel like torture. I really want to help you learn the best way to sleep better.

The two big problems with sleeping pills:

1. 6 out of 10 people experience side effects from sleeping pills

A few side effects of sleeping pills:

• Drowsiness

• Confusion

• Forgetfulness

• Tiredness during the day

2. Sleeping pills may only give you a small amount of extra sleep (less than 30 minutes), and only help you go to sleep 8-20 minutes faster.

How to get rid of insomnia naturally:

1. Read a book instead of watching TV before bed

2. Walk (45-60 minutes)

3. Stretch before bed

4. Neck technique

5. Avoid too much caffeine

Another good remedy for sleep disorders:

• L-tryptophan (take on an empty stomach)

The sleep aid I recommend not only has l-tryptophan, but it also has all sorts of other ingredients to help extract stress and allow you to drift off into a wonderful sleep. Not only will it help you get to sleep faster, but it will also help you wake up more refreshed.

0:55.4	important tips that I think can really improve the quality of your sleep. Now, I personally

1:57.0	Because some of them only give you a small amount of extra sleep. It's less than 30 minutes and only help you go to sleep between 8 and 20 minutes
2:06.7	faster. And even doctors don't recommend taking this on a consistent basis because when you stop taking it now you really can't sleep.
2:15.1	So it comes with a package.
2:17.1	So here are some things that I would recommend.
