How To Cure Insomnia

Many people claim that stress is the root cause of their sleep problems. For example, according to a new survey of approximately 2,000 people conducted by the Better Sleep Council (BSC), 51 percent of Americans say stress disturbs their sleep.

However, stress is actually not the root cause, it is strain. Think about this: if Bill Gates or Barack Obama took our place tomorrow, would they feel stressed about our jobs and life? It’s doubtful. They would probably feel bored to death and feel completely unchallenged.

Stress and strain are actually engineering terms. Strain is a measure of deformation when stress is applied. For example, an aluminum soda can will deform very easily, with very little stress. On the other hand, a thick bar of steel requires an enormous amount of stress to deform.

Here is the most important and interesting part of the definition:

“The strains associated with stress are characteristic of the material.” Sound like some people you know? Some people will “deform” and get stressed by the smallest of things, whereas others can say calm and poised throughout the most trying of circumstances.

Now, most of us can’t become Bill Gates or Barack Obama tomorrow. However, there are many steps we can take to raise our own personal stress threshold.

One of the most important steps is to take control of your life. We can’t control everything, but we can control a lot more of our life and happiness than many people realize. If you look at many of the most stressed out people, they often feel they have little control over their own lives. Try to avoid procrastination and focus on the things that are most important to you.

Another step is to look at many of the stresses of daily life as good rather than bad. They are all an opportunity to raise our own personal threshold for stress. Pressure can cause us to finish jobs faster and do many other good things. As the saying goes, “pressure makes diamonds.”

It is important, however, to find ways to recharge your battery in order to continually raise your personal threshold for managing stress. It is very important to get adequate sleep, for example. Take some time to relax before going to bed, for example. In addition to many traditional remedies, such as taking warm baths, there are now some new high-tech relaxation technologies available. For example, the AV3x program at http://www.sleep-alternative.com can quickly take viewers from a highly stressed out to a deeply meditative state.
