BLOGIt is supposed to happen every night.
Unfortunately, it is happening for everyone else. What is it? Sleep.
Do not worry, because you just found your secret weapons for getting a good night’s sleep with these 19 natural sleep aid tips.
You have many options to get a good night’s sleep.

You also can try traditional remedies, such as mindfulness meditation, acupuncture and listening to music.
You also can try skipping the spicy foods that cause indigestion during nighttime hours.
What is Insomnia?
Sleep is the way our body relaxes, rejuvenates and gets ready for the new day.
One night of no sleep can cause you to feel tired or irritable.
Another night can make it even worse.
A series of such nights is a medical condition called insomnia.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that prevents you from falling and/or staying asleep.
If you have insomnia, you may have the following symptoms:
- Constantly waking up during the night and have trouble returning to sleep
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Going to sleep, but feeling tired upon waking up
- Waking up too early in the morning
You may not know this, but there are two types of insomnia: primary and secondary.
Primary insomnia is difficulty sleeping that does not involve any medical condition.
Secondary insomnia involves sleeping problems associated with a medical condition, such as depression, asthma, arthritis, heartburn and cancer.
Pain and alcohol consumption also can cause insomnia.
Insomnia may be Acute, Transient or Chronic
When you cannot sleep, you may not care if your insomnia is long-term or short-term.
However, it is an empowering fact to know.
Insomnia can vary in how long it lasts and the number of times it occurs.
For example, you can develop transient insomnia if you have some major change in your life.
It lasts for less than a week, or until the stressful event is resolved.
The event could be travel, work-related, or an extreme change in climate.
It does not have to involve a terrible event.
You could develop transient insomnia because you cannot wait for a happy event to happen.
If your insomnia comes and goes, you may have acute insomnia.
Acute insomnia is short-term.
You have periods of time when you have no sleep problems.
Short-term insomnia can last from one night to three weeks. Acute insomnia occurs when there is:
- An illness
- A significant life stress, such as a loss of employment, death of a loved one, or divorce
- An emotional issue
