Insomnia and Stress (part 3)
Exercise
Exercise is said to be one of the best techniques available to relieve stress and insomnia. Since insomnia is not without stress, then certain types of exercises are needed to make the procedure work properly.
Stress and insomnia both lead to major heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, high-blood pressure, and so forth. Since the heart, body, joints, nerves, mind and other elements that make up the body are affected negatively by insomnia and stress, then cardiovascular exercises should be included in the exercise scheme to recover.
Finally, don’t forget diet, exercise and diet work hand in hand, and a proper diet can go a long way in the recovery of insomnia.
Sleep well,
Greg

Insomnia and Stress (part 2)
Insomnia and Stress (part 2)
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Progressive muscle relaxation training is a great start after the rhythmic breathing techniques learned. The progressive muscle relaxation training may include self-hypnosis, which is a great source for relaxation.
Self hypnosis may scare few but to the contrary the tactic is easy after it is learnt a couple of times and there is nothing to be frighten of, since if you learn well you are on your way to relaxation, which reduces stress and helps a person sleep.
To get started on self-hypnosis you must find a restful area and extract any thoughts from the mind. The mind must find an area of relaxation in order for hypnosis to take place. After the mind is relaxed, the person can then start a count if this is part of the procedure and work slowly into a progressive relaxed muscle state.
The muscles should not feel any tension, nor should the body experience any stress. Hypnotism is sort of mediation, however, the different levels work differently since this procedure is to totally relax the mind rather than encourage the mind to recall a repressed experience.
After you master the technique, you can move onto to various other levels in reducing stress and eliminating insomnia.

Insomnia and Stress (part 1)
Insomnia and Stress (part 1)
When stressful changes occur it is time to take notice right away since stress can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other disastrous experiences as a result of lack of sleep and relaxation.
Rhythmic Breathing is one of the easier techniques used in the treatment of insomnia. However, in my experience combining rhythmic breathing with PMRT and self-hypnosis has increased the ability to reduce stress, cope with stressors and find a source of relaxation that leads to sleep.
Of course, exercise, proper diet, and self-talk fit into the picture when it comes to finding resolve from insomnia and stress.
Rhythmic Breathing
Rhythmic Breathing Techniques entail learning how to inhale and exhale between breaths on a number of counts, rather the person learns to hold in breaths and let the breaths out slowly for a number of times.
The technique helps to minimize stress, but the strategy is temporary. Thus, to relieve long-term stress and insomnia the person must learn consistency and persistency to maintain a stable ground.
Therefore, rhythmic breathing is a start, but it is a long way from recovery.
