Who Is Affected by Insomnia and Why?
Insomnia can affect anyone—men, women, and children alike. Sleeplessness in children is definitely cause for concern as children need sufficient amounts of sleep for proper developmental growth. Lack of sleep in children can lead to serious health concerns such as ADD, hyperactivity, or stunted brain growth and developmental delays. Adults also have consequences from too little sleep at night. They may find it difficult to concentrate at work from exhaustion and see a reduction in their job performance. For adults, insomnia can be caused by a variety of issues, such as sleep apnea or other health issues. Not getting enough sleep not only affects your physical health, but also your emotional health.

The body’s central nervous system plays a crucial role in keeping us functioning at optimal levels of health. It controls all the other systems in the body, so the health of the central nervous system is vital. It is made up of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system is made up of all the nerves in our body. The nervous system breaks down further into the autonomic nervous system, which controls all the involuntary actions that we do without thinking, such as breathing, digesting, and pumping blood through the body. To break it down even further, the autonomic nervous system is composed of two parts, the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Overall, for the body to work properly, there must be a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the nervous system. If at any point anything is out of whack, it can become a big problem that affects our health and wellness.
Millions of Americans are affected by mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

With ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affecting nearly 6 million children and countless adults across the country, more and more research has been done in an effort to understand these two related disorders. Because of their far-reaching impacts, ADD and ADHD are the most prevalent pediatric disorders. But how do you know if your child is truly suffering from ADD or ADHD and how do you know what can you do to help them? Sadly, many children are being wrongfully diagnosed, as over-diagnosis has become a big problem. But when unwanted and unexplainable behaviors occur, parents want answers and results. Sometimes they find these answers from doctors who are quick to prescribe medication before digging deeper to treat the root cause of these behaviors. Prescription medications aren’t always the answer. Overmedicating children can often cause problems later in life as these children become overmedicated adults, only leading to bigger and more significant concerns. Before turning to medication that can cause serious side effects, seek a natural and safe method for ADD and ADHD management from a Lithia Springs pediatric chiropractor.
