“Is there a natural way to treat insomnia?”
I am unable to get proper sleep at night. I end up drinking coffee due to this and mornings are tiring. It's a cycle. Is there a natural way to treat this issue?

yes. the number one thing is sleep habits.
Yes, there is. The general technique is called cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. It consists of behavioral interventions to improve sleep quality. It is really important to allow adequate time for sleep as well as the most common cause of daytime tiredness in the United States is choosing to sleep less than a person needs to sleep. There are a variety of reliable online websites offering cognitive behavioral therapy as well as trained sleep psychologists in most communities. The New York Times health section contained an overview and summary about a year ago. I am sure you can find this if you search the New York Times website.
Definitely. Get more information at BlueSleep.com We have recent videos and an extensive sleep library covering insomnia and treatments. If that doesn't answer your questions, make an appointment to see a board certified sleep specialist at: BlueSleep.com
The short answer to your question is yes. The long answer to it is much more complex. A sleep specialist will need to assess the reason why you are experiencing insomnia. Depending on the reason, treatment would be different. There may be a component of sleep apnea, other medical conditions, as well as primary insomnia.
