Insomnia
Symptoms: Doctors
associate a
variety of
signs and
symptoms
with
insomnia.
Often, the
symptoms
intertwine
with those
of other
medical or
mental
conditions. |
|
-Some people with insomnia may complain of difficulty falling asleep or waking up frequently during the night. The problem may begin with stress. Then, as you begin to associate the bed with your inability to sleep, the problem may become chronic. |
|
|
-Most often daytime symptoms will bring people to seek medical attention. Daytime problems caused by insomnia include the following: |
|
| -Poor concentration and focus |
|
|
|
| -Impaired motor coordination (being uncoordinated) |
|
| -Irritability and impaired social interaction |
|
| -Motor vehicle accidents because of fatigued, sleep-deprived drivers |
|
|
People may worsen these daytime symptoms by their own attempts to treat the symptoms. |
|
| -Alcohol and antihistamines may compound the problems with sleep deprivation. |
|
| -Others have tried nonprescription sleep aids. |

Insomnia
Symptoms:
Discussion |
|
Symptoms of
insomnia may
be
intertwined
with other
disease or
not
intertwined
(idiopathic).
NeuroResearch
Clinics has
adapted the
following
definition
of insomnia
symptoms. |
|
"Chronic
significant
insomnia"
is
the
classification
for
insomnia
that
interferes
with
sleep
to
the
point
that
the
patient
is
not
get
fully
rested
on a
long
term
basis
(many
months
or
years)
leading
to
decreased
mental
and
physical
performance.
|
|
"Chronic
Severe
Insomnia"
was
defined
by
NeuroResearch
Clinics
in
research
as
sleep
of
several
month
duration
or
more
where
the
patient
sleeps
only
3 or
4
hours
a
night
with
frequent
wake
ups
of
20
minutes
or
more. |
|
Symptoms
of
insomnia
are
very
straight
forward,
"sleep
that
does
not
leads
to a
state
of
being
fully
rested". |
|
No matter
what the
cause of
chronic
insomnia,
optimization
of the
neurotransmitters
that control
sleep is
indicated.
The
neurotransmitter
control
sleep and
are the
cause of
chronic
insomnia in
most cases.
Giving
sleeping
pills,
attempting
"sleep
hygiene"
strategies,
using
melatonin,
etc. only
treats the
symptoms
without
addressing
the real
cause of the
problem. |

The NeuroResearch Clinics Approach
to Treating
Insomnia
Symptoms |
|
Its no secret, NeuroResearch Clinics uses the nutrients 5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa,
and
cysteine to treat medical patients
in order to get the results
documented by our doctors, Proper
use these simple
ingredients in medical treatment is not simple.
From time to time a patient will
say, "Why do I want to take that, I
can go to a health food store and
buy it?" People off the street
buying in a health food store is like going to an art
store and buying a bunch of oil
paints then going home and expecting
to paint like a mater artist even
though there was no previous
painting experience. Having been in
medicine since 1972 I can firmly
state that use of 5-HTP, tyrosine,
levodopa, and cysteine, in medical
clinics, with urinary
neurotransmitter testing is some of
the most sophisticated medical
treatment in medicine.
These nutrients have tremendous
potential due to their chemical
properties. The potential is only
fully realized in the hands of the
trained professional. Treatment is
not just giving a nutrient pill, it is the whole medical approach
doctors are trained in to manage the
disease properly and make sure that
that the whole treatment plan is on
track to get symptoms under control. |
