Insomnia can be caused by excessive stress
If you often struggle to fall asleep or wake up in the middle of the night and can not go back to sleep, you probably suffer from insomnia. This is a potentially serious condition that steals from your body the rest it needs to physically, mentally and emotionally redo. A typical form of insomnia occurs when you wake up at night, realizes that you are "on" while you should be asleep, and then you become anxious because you predict that the next day will be over. Anxiety floods the body with adrenaline and leaves the body ready for action, the opposite you need for restful sleep. Many people do not give importance to such episodes, but lack of sleep can cause serious problems.
Stress is a major cause of altered sleep patterns leading to both acute and chronic insomnia
In many cases, it is difficult for a person to notice changes in their sleep pattern, but currently, medicine has a valuable test called polisonography that is able to bring detailed information about how we are sleeping.
Sleep is divided into four phases called non- Rem and a REM phase (meaning short eye movements). These phases occur in cycles that last for about 90 minutes and should occur four to five times a night. The rupture of this architecture of sleep, for whatever reason, leads to sleep deprivation. It is in the REM stage that we dream and much of the renewal of cellular biochemistry occurs, however, any alteration in the sleep cycle can bring a consequence to our health.
Stress is one of the main causes of alteration of the sleep pattern taking both to acute as chronic insomnia. It can be caused by pressures at work, family obligations, health problems, depression, anxiety, among other things. Researchers have already shown that stress creates inconsistency between heart rhythms, and when our heart goes out of sync, normal sleep patterns can be altered. In addition to adrenaline, cortisol is another hormone released by the adrenal glands that, when in excess, undermines the immune system, worsens memory and facilitates weight gain.
Scientific research released by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA) show that approximately 70% of medical visits are due to stress-related symptoms. We live in an age of lifestyle diseases, which not only worsen the quality of life but shorten our existence. The main ones are high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity, diabetes and depression which, according to a study published by the World Health Organization in 2005, could be avoided with small changes in lifestyle. It is already known that sleeping little increases the level of ghrelin (the hormone that causes hunger) and decreases that of leptin (which inhibits hunger), so the result is the accumulation of extra pounds.
If you identify with what was so far, try to manage your level of stress by trying techniques such as meditation, yoga, breathing, biofeedback, cognitive behavioral therapy, and practicing physical activity regularly.
Breathing acts as a true bridge between the mind and body and that is why that through it we can easily learn to dribble anxiety symptoms to sleep better.

Stop leaving everything for later and plan your life
"It's not wise thinking that someday everything will work out. " This sentence of Daisaku Ikeda - humanist, writer and Buddhist leader - has nothing pessimistic about it. On the contrary, it takes away the comfort that makes us sit and wait for better days. It encourages us to take the initiative with creativity, wisdom, courage and common sense.
