Brauer - sleepless & insomnia relief
What is it for?
Relief of sleeplessness and insomnia.
Helpful hints
- Try and work out why you aren’t sleeping — which sound’s obvious enough but isn’t always easy. If you can remove the cause or find new ways to deal with the cause, you’ll be well on the way to sleeping better.
- Getting some regular physical activity is one of the keys to managing stress and sleeping better. Mid afternoon or early evening is the best time to exercise when you have sleep problems.
- Create a bed time routine that gently prepares you for bed each night. Spend the last half to one hour of your evening winding down your body and mind. Listen to soothing music, read something light, have a warm milk drink and a light snack (like a piece of toast).
- Cut down on stimulants like tea, coffee, alcohol and certain medicines after about 4 PM. Avoid large, rich or salty meals late at night.
- Learn new relaxation techniques that work for you.
Dosage
DOSAGE Adults: Take 5mL, use 4 sprays or dissolve 2 tablets under the tongue, half an hour before bed and then immediately before going to bed. Use 1 dose every half hour for up to 4 doses if you wake and wish to go back to sleep. Children 2 to 12 years: Half the adult dose. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.
Additional Treatment
Calcium and Magnesium at the recommended dosages may also be of use in dealing with this condition.
Additional Advice
All stimulating activities such as television or eating etc should be avoided for a minimum of 1 hour prior to retiring, and a regular sleeping routine should be adhered to. Failure of this condition to respond to treatment should prompt investigations to determine underlying aetiological factors such as depression or other emotional disturbances.
