How I cured my severe Insomnia
I used to have severe insomnia for years. I finaly found out that I became extra sensitive to white refined sugar after having a sweet tooth in childhood. I dont have diabetes but sugar was acting like a mild cocaine in my brain where I would still have racing thoughts even when I was tired and laying down. I was also low on B vitamins

I cut out white sugar from my diet, unless its in miniscule amounts like sauces and bread. Basically I cut out deserts and candy and sugared drinks

Im sure to eat whole grains everyday like two slices of whole wheat bread

I now fall asleep within 20 minutes when it used to take up to 5 hours to fall asleep. It took a couple of weeks to see full results but it changed my life, Id probaly be dead from fatigue by now if I never learned this about my body

Sweeteners like honey and maple syrup and stevia are okay, it is only white refined sugar that gave me problems

I know some may stop by here and say they cured their insomnia thru meds or relaxation techniques .But my method is simple, it just goes back to how to eat naturally before excessive manufacturing methods that strip nutrients out of food

Insomnia is the bodys way of screaming for help, trying to tell the person its lacking, missing something in the diet

If you go with natures way, the human body can respond and take care of itself .

I did the same with rice, after gaining weight every year, I switched to brown rice and potatos with the skin on. Use whole foods in its intended form and your body will heal.

If you are a guy with insomnia, well chop wood.

All older people require less sleep. That is not insomnia but normal. You don't need more than six hours when you are an old fart.

Ya, this old lady still cuts and chops my own wood too, grow and butcher my food, fix my own rigs and do all the repair work on the house and barn. Nothing like hard work to keep you young and a good nights sleep.

Magnesium and calcium are super helpful (but take a broad range of vitamin and mineral supplements for the best overall health).

Don't take supplements, just eat a well balanced diet. Supplements are not needed and can/do cause much more damage.

A good balanced diet with exercise is all we need to maintain our health.

Re: How I cured my severe Insomnia
I met one and only one shrink who wasn'ta total bozo. His theory was men are tamed so much by civilization that inside they rage against this extremely unnatural lifestyle and end up getting depressed by it.

He said that the best way to deal with stress is hard ass physical labor like chopping wood. I think a heavy bag and some boxing gloves are better. Just beat the tar out of the bag and you will be exhausted and sleep like a baby.

Those old human shaped boxing targets are great but a standard boxing heavy bag is cheaper and long lasting. Keep your guard up.

Re: How I cured my severe Insomnia
hmm

Not the first time someone mentioned that sugar is like cocaine.

If so, then high frutose corn syrup is the crack-cocaine equivalent!

Maybe we all need to cut down and eliminate sweets - especially before bedtime. Asian desserts for example or only mildly sweet, just a hint.

I take melatonin for my insomnia.

Great info!

I've always had a touch of insomnia, having stage 5 kidney disease really ramped it up to extremes, been on Testosterone therapy (lol anabolic steroids, very low dose)has helped a lot, my T was super low because of kidney disease, but I'll try your method

Stevia must be banned! One metabolite - STEVIOL is similar melecule to one femenine hormone.
Hormonal disruption.
Make young boys femenine and gay, a real poison.
Search by yourself and you will be shocked.
