Insomnia is unfortunately one of the most common sleep disorders for individuals with chronic pain or chronic headaches.
Sleep and stress are the top triggers for pain flares for individuals dealing with fibromyalgia, joint pain, or migraines and headaches, just to name a few!
But having pain also causes sleep to be disrupted. So which one causes the other? Well, at this point they both have an influence on each other, but what has been found is that Sleep Disturbance magnifies pain more than pain magnifies sleep issues.
We review these top therapies:
Melatonin and its anti-inflammatory benefits that help both sleep and pain
GABA and L-theanine
How diet and nutrition can affect sleep
Iron supplementation, iron deficiency, and restless sleep, restless leg syndrome and the importance of healthy dopamine levels
Vitamin D and its role in sleep disorders and pain
