Natural Insomnia Support for a More Restful Night Sleep

Curos Health Medical Team May 3, 2021

There are many forms of insomnia but the two most common are trouble falling asleep and trouble staying asleep. It’s important to have your insomnia evaluated since certain chronic underlying conditions should be ruled out (ex: sleep apnea, BPH, certain pharmaceuticals, Parkinson’s, RLS, GERD, hyperthyroid, cancer, diabetes and heart disease, etc).

Trouble Falling Asleep

For those with trouble falling asleep overactive adrenals with persistently elevated adrenaline and cortisol as well as low melatonin levels due to poor sleep hygiene are very common causes we docs see clinically.
