Greetings,
You might be surprised to learn how many times our body chemistry is the culprit whenever we are having a difficult time sleeping. It is not always too many chemicals in our body but it may be the lack of something that we need. If you are dealing with insomnia or having a difficult slime sleeping in any way, there are several things that you should try in order to build these imported hormones up inside of you before you try to go to sleep. You might find that it not only helps you to go to sleep faster, it may keep you asleep for longer.
The first of these chemicals that we are going to talk about is the hormone that is known as serotonin. Serotonin is present in our body for a number of different reasons but one of the main things that it does is to make us feel good. If we are having a difficult time sleeping because we tend to fret over different things before we go to bed, serotonin may help to sway the balance in our direction. This hormone is released from our body whenever we exercise so it is a good idea for us to move around a little bit through the day in order to have an abundance of it. Believe it or not, warm milk may also trigger the production of serotonin because of the tryptophan that it contains.
Another hormone that we may need which can certainly help us to fall asleep is melatonin. This is a natural sleep hormone but some of us may be deficient in it for one reason or another. This particular hormone is available as a natural supplement and has been shown in many cases to help individuals who are dealing with insomnia. By the way, it also helps a person who has jet lag for the same reason. It reset our biological clock and helps us to go through the natural cycle of sleep.
One final thing that you should do is to make sure that you have all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Taking a quality multivitamin everyday may be able to help you to bring your body into the balance that it needs. You should also make sure that you are eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables as this will also go a long way in helping to cure your insomnia.
Sincerely,
Thomas “Trapper” Sherwood

Hi Trapper,
Important blog post!
It’s so critical to produce these hormons!
I heard yesterday, that women with night work have a greater risk (much greater!) of getting breast cancer. Simply because they are awake and working while the body should sleep and produce these hormons.

I have noticed that the older we get the less attention we put on really caring for the body. Life seems to get in the way. So putting attention on making sure we have balanced hormones is a good idea.
One thing that helps is to get sun. Going out in the sun for 15 to 30 minutes a day helps to trigger and balance your hormones. Ever noticed that you feel a little crazy in the winter? – Be sure to let the sun get on your skin so that you absorb vitamin D. And do not wear sunglasses.
The pituitary gland runs you other glands, thus your hormone out put. The pituitary gland gets its energy from the sun through your eyes. Vitamin D also helps your hormones, vitamins and minerals work.
