I heard a naturopath talking on TV recently. She was saying how prevalent
insomnia is. She put forward lots of herbal type remedies that I can't
remember and one idea that etched itself into my brain. She said that being
exposed to a sunset everyday prepared the brain for sleep and that
chemically more melatonin is released when this occurs which helps to induce
sleep. Even being outside for 5 minutes or just standing at a window and
looking at the setting sun at dusk was enough. So many people are indoors
at this time of day with steady artificial lights beating down on them.
Fortunately I haven't needed to try it out lately although I am probably
outside a good deal at this time of day anyway. I am in awe at the
simplicity and naturalness of this line of thought. I have also noticed,
since my K has been active, that I am much more in contact with the rhythm
and cycles of nature. You might be too.
If you give this a try I'd really love to know how it goes.
I tend to keep a routine in my sleeping times and in some of my daily
activities. I'm flexible about it and sometimes will have a series of late
nights and mornings but the routine sort of gives my day a foundation and I
think my body finds it safe and reassuring. I also have children so there
is an element of necessity in that choice.
Warmest regards,
Julie.
