Insomnia
by admin
Sleep is an essential part of good health. A good night’s sleep can help you feel good, look healthy, work effectively and think clearly.
But sleep is not always so easy to come by. If you sometimes have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, you’re not alone. A 1991 Gallup study found that more than one-third of all Americans suffer occasional or chronic insomnia.
People often are surprised to learn that daytime drowsiness is not an inevitable, harmless by product of modern life, but rather a key sign of a sleep problem that could be disastrous if not treated.
Recent figures show that nearly a quarter of the population regularly cannot go to, or remain asleep, and every year doctors write out more than 14 million prescriptions for sleeping tablets.

Although it may feel like a, menopause is not a disease or disorder – is a natural transition that occurs for all women when they reach a particular age.
Menopause is the time in the “midst of life” when a woman stops having her period. It happens when a healthy woman,the ovaries stop releasing eggs – usually a gradual natural process. Per menopause is the period of gradual changes that lead to natural menopause.
It commonly affects the hormones, the body and the sensations of a woman. The process can take months or years.
Production of estrogen in the ovaries during per menopause is delayed. Hormone levels commonly fluctuate, causing changes as they did during adolescence. The changes leading to menopause may seem much more intense than during puberty.The intensity can be affected by a woman’s feelings about aging, including their reactions to social judgments about aging. The time after menopause is called post-menopause. The average age for a woman’s final period is 51, but can occur as late as age 60. Each woman’s experience with menopause is unique. Some women experience very few changes during this time, while others experience a variety of common fluctuations.
