Insomnia cures earth clinic1/3/2024 ![]() The only time I sleep is like every 4th day and then I'm taking Passion Flower & other sleep herbs and a benadryl. Do I continue the Sodium/potassium? I think so. Today I will add the 1 dr iodine he says to try next. I have been on Ted's Sodium Citrate 1/2 tsp + Potassium Citrate 1/4 tsp at bedtime for over a week now. Too bad, the article gave no solutions to fix it. I think I have the stress + major event kind. I read today that there are 5 different types of insomnia, all variations of stress/no stress + major event (health or other)/no major event or only a major event. Do an Internet search for sleep hygiene - there are lots of studies on how it can help - along with a clean diet (which I'm sure you have if you suffer from ibs), limited caffeine, etc.Ī good night's sleep is crucial to good health. What about your bedding and mattress? These are some of the "sleep hygiene" tips that help many people. Have a fan going to circulate the air - also, a fan can have a soothing "white noise" effect that helps people sleep. in a journal - get them out of your head. If you take Vitamin D supplements, take them in the morning. Ensure your Vitamin D levels are where they should be (do an Internet search for Vitamin D and insomnia - it's an incredibly important hormone). Get enough physical exercise during the day, fresh air, sunshine (or use a light therapy device for 20 minutes in the morning if you live in a cloudy/rainy place). In the evening, wear blue-blocking glasses if you watch TV, use the computer/tablet/smartphone - at least a few hours before bedtime. Let your bedroom be an oasis of tranquility - no clutter, clean and quiet. Speaking of electronic devices, remove them from the room. I'm wondering if, in addition to everything else you are taking, you try sleeping in a completely dark room (no light emitted from anything - including around the windows or from electronic devices). I tried adding valerian to this and it bothered the belly and have lemon balm that I”m willing to try but will do the alkalizing first. I am currently doing a mix of seriphos, ashwagandha, passion flower, l-theanine, glycine, gaba and melatonin. I looked into acupuncture, but the guy near me charges $70/session and wants 3 sessions a week for at least 6 weeks so I can't afford that. ![]() It says do it faithfully for 21 days before deciding it won't work and I'm only on day 9, so we'll see. I am also doing a hypnosis app (Glenn Harrold) for sleep that helps me go to sleep fast but I wake up within 20 minutes of it ending. ![]() I hope the potassium doesn't upset the bowels, but my reading hasn't indicated that it would so it's worth a try. My ibs makes it hard to get adequate minerals (even mag oil topically gives me diarrhea if I do more than 3 sprays/day) and lack of minerals can sure wreck your sleep. Please, if you have any other suggestions for me let me know. I will make more effort to get greens, but cannot do anything raw besides carrot. Carbs don't bother my belly, so that's what I tend to eat. Is there a form of probiotic that would be better for the ibs as well as the insomnia/acid issue? I've tried dairy kefir and really couldn't stand it, the store bought kefir is great but full of sugar. I've been so intent on getting probiotics to fix my ibs-d that maybe I'm getting too much yogurt. I have ordered Potassium citrate and will use it instead of the acv when it arrives.Īdditionally, I will watch my diet more than I have been. I've started the acv + baking soda (1Tbs ACV + 1/2 tsp BS in 8 oz water, 3X/day) and have done this several days now with no real change. I got ph strips and, wow, my morning urine was down around 4. My first attempt is Ted's alkalizing treatments. Several things I've posted helped a good bit but nothing really does the trick, so I've gone back to square one and will try to be more methodical. I've been on here for years now trying to fix my insomnia. ![]() Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Bicarbonate Sleep Pointing North in Absolute Darkness (2 ) ![]() Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy (PEMF) (1 ) No Cell Phone or Computer 2 Hours Before Bed (1 ) Apple Cider Vinegar, Milk of Magnesia (1 ) ![]()
