Sleep issues plague many Americans, frequently stemming from
our fast-paced lifestyles, stress, and poor diet choices which can include too
much caffeine and sugar, as well as consuming processed foods with their
preservatives and chemicals. A sedentary
lifestyle with hours spent sitting in front of a computer, commonly followed by
hours spent sitting in from of a television does not lend itself to a healthy,
well-exercised body which tends to be a factor in adequate and restful
sleep. And for those who have used
drugs, the resulting nutritional deficiencies, generally lowered health level
and the long-term adverse effects of having taken drugs can definitely
exacerbate any issues with sleep.
Sauna Treatment & Sleep
In its simplest terms, sleep is our body’s rest cycle. It is a state in which our motor activity and
our senses are relatively suspended, with partial or total
unconsciousness. During sleep, our
voluntary muscles—the muscles a person has control over and can move on their
own—are inactive.
The involuntary muscles—the muscles which work automatically
without conscious control—continue to work and keep us breathing and our heart
beating and all the other automatic functions of the body working.
It is during sleep that our bodies grow, and repair
themselves. It is during sleep that a body
generates new bone, and new muscular and nervous tissue. The NIH (National Institutes of Health)
reports that a number of vital tasks are performed by the body during sleep,
helping to maintain good health and the ability to function at an optimum
level. It is known that mental and
physical health can suffer as a result of not getting enough sleep.
Sleep requirements vary depending on a person’s age, their
lifestyle, their general state of health, their routine, and when their sleep
occurs. A general guideline on suggested
daily sleep requirements for children, youth and adults is as follows:
· Children aged 3 to 5 years of age-- 11 to 13 hours of sleep.
· Children aged 5 to 12 years--9 to 11 hours of sleep.
· Teenagers (ages 13 through 18)--9 to 10 hours
· Adults usually need 7
to 8 or more hours of sleep, depending on the individual
It is a given that someone who has been abusing drugs or
alcohol, in addition to the damage these chemical toxins have done to the body
nutritionally and otherwise, has likely gone through periods of inadequate
sleep. Those who abuse meth, for
example, are known to go days without sleep.
So how can the Narconon Sauna help resolve sleep issues for
those who have used drugs?
Resolving Sleep Issues
The basic elements of the Narconon Sauna, or New-Life
Detoxification Program, lend themselves to a resolution of sleep issues
stemming from an addict’s chaotic life, drug abuse and its adverse effects on
the mind and body, the consequences of nutritional deficiencies as a
consequence of drug abuse, and the mental turmoil and less-than-optimum
physical conditions generated by drug abuse and the addiction lifestyle.
Those elements include:
· Daily exercise.
· Time spent daily in a dry heat sauna, in conjunction with
taking specific vitamins and other nutrients, enabling the individuals to
sweat-out accumulated drug residues and toxins.
· A nutritional program which includes a person’s regular diet
supplemented with plenty of fresh vegetables, and exact regiment of vitamins,
minerals and oils, and sufficient liquids.
· A well-ordered personal schedule providing the person with
the normally required amount of sleep.
One person who experienced the benefits of the Narconon
Sauna said, “I
feel stronger. I am able to sleep and eat normally. I feel the drug toxins are
out of my system.” And another said, “I
am happy to wake up in the morning and now I look forward to starting my day.”
Most of us would agree that life and the world around us
seems a much better place when we are well-rested and well-fed, and feeling
good both physically and mentally.
The Narconon Sauna routinely helps individuals achieve those
valuable results.
