Insomnia can be described as a symptom of a sleeping disorder, it is an inability to sleep or chronic sleeplessness. According to one estimate, approximately 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year.

As per recent news, Michael Jackson also suffered from insomnia. He was seeking drugs to help get some sleep. He requested for the powerful sedative Diprivan, despite warnings that it could be harmful to his health.

If you experience difficulty sleeping at night, incorporating yoga into your life can certainly help, especially if the reason for insomnia is stress-related.

You will wake up every morning completely fresh and full of energy instead of wishing you could stay in bed.

Yoga will certainly help in cases of insomnia. With the regular practice of yoga, the quality of sleep is bound to improve because of the stimulatory effect yoga has on the nervous system, and particularly on the brain. The practice of yoga postures such as Child’s pose and Headstand can increase the blood circulation to the sleep centre in the brain, which can normalize sleep.

One can have a more restful sleep because of the relaxing aspect of yoga and the subsequent relieving of stress and fatigue. Exercising Hatha Yoga at least four times a week is a good choice.

In addition to regular yoga, here are additional steps one can take if suffering from Insomnia.

(a) It is best to avoid drinks such as coffee before sleeping
(b) The last meal should have been taken at least three hours before sleeping
(c) Regular practice of yoga relaxation techniques is good before sleeping

If these recommendations are followed, one should have no problem getting a good night's sleep.

Yoga exercises can help to beat stress, which is a common factor in sleep disorders. In fact you can also do Yoga at night just before going to bed, if sleeping is difficult for you and you will be surprised to see the amazing benefits.
