Why would herbs that improve HEART blood circulation improve my sleep? but regular sleep formulas don't!!!?

Question

This is so strange! I have sleeping problems.. I have tried so many herbal and pharmaceutical drugs for sleep none of which have worked without side effects that I could tolerate. On the herbal/supplement side, I have tried Chamomile, Valerian, Passion Hops, Melatonin just to name a few(I can't think of all right now), and on the pharmaceutical side drugs like Rozerem, Lunecta, Valium, and....

Anyways, recently I have been trying a formula that has Cayenne pepper, Garlic bulb, and ginger (which is good for heart blood circulation) ... and my sleep is getting better.. I even look healthier... I wanna sleep a good 6-7 hours at night, and take a 1 hour nap in the afternoon..... WHY IS THIS HAPPEINING??? what is heart and blood circulation have to do with my sleep???

Answer 1

Lamar's Alarm has the right idea... the ones that you're taking for circulation help to get oxygen to all your organs, which help your body work more efficiently.

It's also very possible that your body wasn't processing your Serotonin properly (which would explain why most of those supplements and drugs didn't help, especially if some of them woke you up instead of helping you sleep). If that's the case, the circulation aids could have made your system healthy enough where it started processing the Serotonin the right way, which could help you fall asleep properly.

It could also be any of several other possibilities, but most of those revolve around your body working better the way it's supposed to and not being bogged down, which can impact your sleep.

Either way, you can be thankful that your body is starting to work right again, right?  ;-)

Answer 2

Hawthorn strengthens the heart, my guess is you are nervous, or your body is.

I suggest you get a really boring time table for going to bed and stick to it and if you have not fallen asleep by say 30 minuets get up and do something boring even sweep the stairs.  G

Answer 3

Improved heart and blood circulation make it easier for your body to relax, and therefore sleep.  Because your heart isn't working as hard, you aren't breathing as hard.

I'm glad you found something that's working for you!

Answer 4

Cayenne Pepper

CQ10

L-Argine

Gota Kola

Gingko Bilboa

Oh I'm sorry I thought you wanted the herbs.  You already mentioned those.  My bad.

Those herbs are improving your sleep because the blood is flowing and doing a good job in the body.  The brain and other vital organs are receiving oxygen.
