Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I continue to have good sleep at night. To recap: I started doing a good (taped) daily yoga workout about 3 1/2 months ago after trying everything else there was to try for better sleep (including other kinds of exercise). As I have gotten older, my sleep got worse and worse. This is probably inherited in my case. I was reduced to taking pills almost nightly to get any decent sleep. I am amazed at the change and if anyone out there has any problems with sleep or other brain function problems, try yoga for a few months. I have also posted anecdotes about yoga and depression. People have been able to throw away their depression meds after a few months on yoga. I wonder why the medical community hasn't previously explored such benefits (not enough money in it I guess). NIH is currently doing studies on yoga and insomnia, however considering how long ago Dean Ornish included yoga in his recommended regimen ......(10 years ago? 15 years ago???). Rodney mentioned that something seems to " correct " in the brain during yoga and/or meditation. Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
