About this ebook
For some of us, falling asleep and staying asleep takes a creative process. This book offers new insights into why some of us may struggle with a natural bodily function, like sleeping.
In this book you will find how your physical comfort is one reason you are losing sleep. But thats not the only reason we dont fall asleep and stay asleep. This book will reveal that the temperature, lighting, and electronic energy in the room will affect your sleep.
Ive learned that blocked energy in the body, mind, or spirit will cause sleepless nights. I show how dieting, loneliness, sexual energy and emotional pain will keep you awake. I still prepare myself at night for the ritual of falling asleep and staying asleep.
Our body is run on a schedule, call our circadian rhythm. When your biological clock is out of sync, I show you ways to get back on schedule.
I had to learn how to fall sleep without the use of sleep aids. I was determined, so I tried many so-called techniques, including everything, from hypnotherapy to hot toddies, to fall asleep. After years of wrestling with myself, I began using certain practices that developed into the form of rituals I still use today.
Repeating the rituals made it easier to release blocked energy and to cleanse my soul from negative emotions I picked up through the day. What I share in the book are the many solutions that worked for me. By using the visualization exercises found in the book, these energy centers will release the blocked energy so that you can finally sleep.
I am happy to say I sleep well now. Ive learned how to use energy properly; clear blockages, exercise regularly, forgive myself and others more quickly, and use visualization rituals to natural remedies to help me fall asleep and stay asleep.

Introduction
W hy is it so hard to fall asleep?
Billions of dollars are spent each year on over the counter drugs, self medication, and prescription drugs. More than one third of the U.S. population complains of always being tired.
Does your insomnia manifest itself as difficulty in falling asleep? Do you wake up soon after falling asleep? Do you take short naps to make up for your lack of sleep at night? If you are sleeping lightly and never entering the delta wave or restorative sleep stage, you may be heading for serious health problems.
Our bodies need to sleep for the whole night or at least eight hours.
You know you have insomnia when your mental state is portrayed by an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep.
After many years of trying to find ways to overcome my insomnia, this book was created as a way to share some solutions on how to defeat your sleep disorder.
If you are serious in your efforts to get needed sleep, it may require you to change your sleep patterns and certain habits.
I know the typical type A
