What is insomnia?
When you have insomnia it means that you struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep at night.
You may wake up several times in the night and find yourself lying awake staring at the ceiling wondering why you can’t just get some sleep.
When you’re suffering from insomnia it can make you feel tired and irritated, and you may find it more difficult to concentrate on your work or other things you may be doing during the day.
Why do I have insomnia?
Lots of people suffer from insomnia at some point in their lives, and it can happen for lots of different reasons.
Some of the most common reasons why people struggle to fall asleep at night include:
- Stress, worry, anxiety, or depression
- Poor sleep hygiene, e.g. an inconsistent sleep schedule
- Sleeping in a noisy room
- Your room is too bright
- Your room is too hot or too cold
- Shift work
- Jet lag
- Caffeinated drinks, such as coffee or energy drinks
- Alcohol
- Nicotine
- Taking recreational drugs, e.g. cocaine, ecstasy
What are the benefits of stopping smoking?
When you stop smoking you’re opening yourself up to a world of amazing benefits, and you may not have even considered all of them!
For starters, let’s think about all of the cash you’ll be saving when you don’t have to buy a packet of cigarettes every other day!
The NHS estimates that the average smoker could save an average of £141 a month or £1,696 a year when they give up!
If you put your smoking money into a piggy bank for one year just imagine what you could do with that money instead!
Holiday of a lifetime? Giant TV? The Christmas shopping spree you’ve always dreamed of? The possibilities are almost endless!
And we haven’t even spoken about the health benefits yet, kicking your smoking habit can leave you with benefits such as:
- Your sense of taste and smell improves
- Your lung function improves
- Your teeth and skin will look healthier
- You won’t smell like cigarette smoke
- Your fertility levels will improve and you’ll have a higher chance of having a healthy pregnancy
- Your fitness levels will improve overall
What are the side effects of quitting smoking?
While quitting smoking comes with a whole heap of health benefits, there may be difficult withdrawal symptoms you’ll have to deal with too.
The symptoms include nicotine cravings, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, anxiety, increases in appetite, and irritability.
Whilst difficult to deal with, these symptoms should go away after two to four weeks, and nicotine replacement therapy can help along the way.
Are weight loss tablets right for me?
Weight loss tablets may assist you in losing weight - like a helping hand, perhaps - but they can’t lose the weight for you.
If you lose a few pounds due to healthy eating and exercise, weight loss tablets may help you to lose a few extra.
The best way to see whether any weight loss products will work is to calculate your BMI (body mass index).
If you have a BMI of 28 or above and are starting to follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, weight loss tablets could help you to meet your goals.
