The more you worry about not sleeping, the more your mind races, and next thing you know, the sun is peeking through the window. I\u2019ve spent one too many nights this way and needed to put an end to my poor sleeping patterns. I came across this delicious tea recipe and it improved my cycle completely.<\/p>\n<p>Irregular sleeping patterns or even insomnia can stem from several different things like depression, stress and anxiety. Almost every night, I would get into bed and my mind would be racing. Whether I was thinking about work, family, or simply the things I needed to get done the next day, I just couldn\u2019t allow myself to relax. If your mind is active, chances are you won\u2019t fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p>Certain medications can also cause insomnia. Pain medications, antihistamines, and heart and blood pressure medicines are among the many that contribute to sleep loss. Yes, some meds might actually make you drowsy at first, but they can also trigger frequent bathroom trips or anxiety which can further disturb your rest.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s one of these issues or maybe it\u2019s that you\u2019re addicted to your phone when you should be sleeping, something needs to change.<\/p>\n<h3>BANANA TEA<\/h3>\n<p>Using only a couple items that are likely already in your kitchen, you can whip together a banana tea in no time! This organic, banana-infused sleep remedy works wonders and tastes so good. How does it work? Bananas,\u00a0<em>especially<\/em>\u00a0the peels, are loaded with potassium and magnesium.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0magnesium helps prevent sleep disturbances, both magnesium and potassium work together to help relax muscles. In fact, magnesium is one of the best minerals for relaxation! Keep in mind, this recipe calls for 100% organic bananas. Bananas that are not organic are loaded with harmful pesticides and since we encourage you to eat the boiled peel, it must be chemical-free.<\/p>\n<p>This tea takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and can be enjoyed every night before bed.<\/p>\n<h3>INGREDIENTS<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 organic banana<\/li>\n<li>1 small pot of water<\/li>\n<li>a dash of cinnamon (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All you need to do is cut off both ends of the banana and place it, peel and all, into boiling water. Boil it for around 10 minutes. Using a colander, pour the water into a mug. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous, sprinkle the cinnamon into the tea. Drink it one hour before bed time.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about being wasteful, you\u2019ve clearly never had a boiled banana before! After the banana has been boiled, sprinkle some cinnamon over it. Eating the warm, gooey fruit and its\u00a0peel along with the tea will increase its soothing\u00a0effects\u2026 Not to mention it makes a yummy dessert!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Sleeping Pills Are Bad<\/strong><br \/>\nOut of despair, many of us have resorted to sleeping pills and with almost half of the American population suffering from insomnia or poor sleep, it\u2019s no wonder. But here\u2019s the thing: sleeping pills cannot help you long-term. They provide a short-term fix.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of sleeping pills are a specific type of drug that induces and maintains sleep. They\u2019re classified as something called sedative hypnotics. Among other sedative hypnotic drugs are benzodiazepines and barbiturates. Benzodiazepines\u2014like Xanax and Valium\u2014can be addictive and are used to treat anxiety disorders by increasing drowsiness. Barbiturates depress the central nervous system are used as anesthetics and sedatives.<\/p>\n<p>As with all drugs, there\u2019s a list of side effects that accompany sleeping pills. Aside from the likeliness of them being habit-forming, they can cause the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty focusing and remembering<\/li>\n<li>Stomach pain<\/li>\n<li>Weakness<\/li>\n<li>Uncontrollable shaking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Parasomnias (Doing things without realizing it\u2026 Scary!)<br \/>\nSleeping pills also cause your breathing rhythm to slow down and significantly lighten. This means that if you\u2019re already suffering from lung diseases like COPD or even asthma, these meds can be dangerous and even fatal.<\/p>\n<h3>HOW SLEEP DEPRIVATION AFFECTS THE BODY<\/h3>\n<p>Getting\u00a0less than eight hours of sleep is bad for your body. When I found out the consequences little to no sleep had on my body, I panicked!<\/p>\n<p>When your body doesn\u2019t get enough rest, generally less than eight hours, it suffers. Cognitive function\u2014your long- and short-term memory\u2014is seriously affected. Have you ever tried to focus on a task while running on zero fuel? I have and I know it\u2019s near impossible. Processing even the simplest things seems challenging and your emotional responses to things become totally skewed. The scariest part is that sleep deprivation has been linked to serious health problems including obesity, diabetes and cancer.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to figure out why you\u2019re not sleeping the way you used to and work on fixing it. I now look forward to this tea each night; it\u2019s 100% natural, it smells and tastes great, and it has worked tremendously for me.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve all had those restless nights of tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling, unable to get more than a couple hours of shuteye.
