Sleep well together: Critical for a relationship
Paul from Londonderry, New Hampshire, asks, "My wife and I are suffering from sleeplessness because we both work in the airline industry. I think it is affecting our health and we also do not have enough opportunity to be physically intimate with each other. What sleeping aids would you suggest so that we can deal with our lack of sleep and have a good relationship?"
Steve Edwards, the fitness expert at Beachbody, suggests several sleep aids. He writes, "There are many sleep aids on the market, from drugs to teas. Unfortunately, most of the major medications have some type of side effect for a high percentage of the population. Other popular "natural" remedies are often effective. Two of the most popular are Melatonin and GABA. The former is a hormone releaser that does, occasionally, cause a groggy state but is thought to be more-or-less safe. The latter is a neuraltransmitter and should be taken with care only. Valerian root extract and herbal teas are the most innocuous from a safety standpoint. Since the ability to fall asleep is often a mental state, 15 minutes spent relaxing with a cup of warm tea might be all you need to take the edge off. My favorite bedtime relaxer is chamomile tea with valerian root. While I don't find valerian root extract particularly effective on its own, coupled with the calming ritual of a cup of chamomile tea is the perfect pre-sleep ritual in all but the most anxious of circumstances. If making a cocktail is too much work at this time of night, Celestial Seasonings packages the two together. Look for Sleepytime tea with valerian."
We also suggest that you should always schedule time for physical intimacy as you would for anything else that you do in your life. We recommend to our clients that they should at least try to make love two to three times a week. With this frequency, you would stay in good health, feel good overall, get rid of your stress, and bond strongly with your partner. And yes, if you are not getting enough sleep, you will not feel the desire strongly enough. So make sure that you follow Steve Edwards' advice to deal with your lack of sleep.
