Coffee is notorious for messing up sleep. People try all kinds of remedies to combat that including alcohol! Can the homeopathy (alternative and complimentary medicine) help you sleep? While animal studies indicate effect of homeopathic medicines on sleep such as non rapid eye movement sleep, there is paucity of objective literature in humans.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Dr. Bell and colleagues from the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tuson, AZ examined the role of homeopathy in coffee related insomnia in young adults. Authors used the objective parameters of the science of polysomnography to examine the effects of homeopathic remedies in coffee induced sleep dysfunction or insomnia.
Study:
Subjects of both sexes and aged between 18 and 31 years scoring who scored above-average scores on standardized personality scales were recruited. Sleep recordings were were performed at subjects' homes on successive pairs of nights once per wee.
A total of eight recordings were conducted over a month long period.
Subjects (N=54) received either placebo pellets or verum pellets of one of two homeopathic remedies, Nux Vomica or Coffea Cruda. Subjects cmaintained subjective data in their daily morning sleep diaries and weekly Pittsburgh sleep quality index scales.
Results on effect of homeopathy on sleep:
Verum remedies significantly increased total sleep time and Non REM sleep. They also had significant impact on awakenings and stage changes.
Conclusions on effect of homeopathy on coffee induced sleep problems:
The investigators concluded that these findings of effects of homeopathic remedy effects are similar though not identical to those reported in animals with the same homeopathic remedies. They speculated that the effects may be mediated via initial disruption of the nonlinear dynamics of sleep patterns by the verum remedies.
