Sleeping difficulty is when you have trouble sleeping at night. It may be hard for you to fall asleep, or you may wake up several times throughout the night. Sleep difficulty may affect your physical and mental health. Lack of sleep may also cause you to have frequent headaches or trouble concentrating. Most people experience difficulty sleeping at some point in their lives.
Signs of sleeping difficulty may include an inability to focus during the day, frequent headaches, irritability, daytime fatigue, waking up too early, waking up throughout the night, or taking several hours to fall asleep. You may also experience low energy during the day or have noticeably dark circles under your eyes.
There are many possible reasons for sleeplessness, including your sleeping habits, lifestyle choices, and medical conditions. Some causes of sleeplessness may include aging, too much stimulation before bedtime, consuming too much caffeine, or noise disturbances. For many people, stress, worry, depression, or work schedules may also affect their sleep.
The easiest thing to do is taking a sleeping pill, but it’s not a good idea. It may work for a little while, but it’s really harming your body’s health and natural abilities. Instead of taking a sleeping pill, you can try a natural home remedy for restful sleep.
Banana Cinnamon tea has become a popular sleep aid. It contains three main nutrients that helps improve sleep are potassium, magnesium, and tryptophan. Bananas are a good source of magnesium and potassium, two minerals that promotes better sleep quality and length due to their muscle-relaxing properties. They also provide some tryptophan, an amino acid that’s important for producing the sleep-inducing hormones serotonin and melatonin. The banana supplies your body with potassium that helps regulate blood pressure and supports your nervous system. Cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels in your body. Spikes in blood sugar can contribute to sleeplessness.
Put the benefits of cinnamon and banana together, and you’ve got a powerful yet natural combination that can work wonders for your sleep! Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients:
– 1 organic banana with peel (ends trimmed off)
– 1¼ cup water
– 1 cinnamon stick (optional – a dash of cinnamon will also work)
Instructions:
Take banana with peel, and cinnamon stick (if using), and add into a pot of boiling water. It’s even better if the water is spring water or filtered water. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain out the peel. If you’d like to add some stevia for sweetening, do so. Stevia helps to even out blood sugar levels. Drink it and enjoy!
