Having trouble sleeping? If so, then this little article may be what you need.
Eliminating sleep problems can help you in many ways including the elimination of persistent drowsiness, and a dramatic improvement in emotional and physical well-being.
If you suffer from sleep deprivation you know it is a debilitating condition causing anxiety, stress, depression, and can mess with your immunity protection too.
In addition, it can cause major problems like heart disease and hypertension and a whole slew of minor ailments.
The clinical study by Advanced Brain Monitoring in Carlsbad, California, tested the effectiveness of fish oil supplements on sleep deprived individuals and noticed a reduction of drowsiness, and an improvement in emotional and physical capability.
There was also a reduction in the signs of physiological anxiety.
Patients showed better reaction times and less inaccuracy than those patients taking a placebo (olive oil) capsule.
For those suffering from sleeping problems and who don't like the next-day drowsiness and sluggishness after-effects (and high cost) of pharmaceutical drugs like Ambien and Lunesta this is good news.
If you're wondering how, it all comes down to the side effects.
Simply put, all pharmaceutical drugs can cause side effects and everyone is affected differently.
For example, the listed side effects for Ambien are diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness (including daytime drowsiness), a "drugged" feeling, dry mouth, headache, nausea, nose or throat irritation, sluggishness, and stomach upset.
Severe allergic reactions include rash, hives, itching, breathing difficulty, tightening of the chest, swelling of hands, fainting, thinking problems, suicidal thoughts and many more.
Now on the other hand, when it comes to fish oil you have nothing but positive side effects all supported by clinical studies.
A high-quality fish oil supplement, high in omega 3 fatty acid, improves heart and artery function and prevents cardiovascular disease.
It also can prevent and improve the debilitating effects of arthritis, bone and joint problems.
It is also effective with ADHD, skin problems and much more.
Bottom line is if you're having trouble getting sleep you may want to consider fish oil as a possible solution.
It certainly couldn't hurt.
