Sleep and the Chronic Pain Patient

May 27th, 2010

Chronic pain sufferers often find their sleep patterns to be disturbed.

Avoiding prescription sleep aids may be wise for some, as they can cause unwanted side effects.

There are natural remedies that have shown to be useful for those that find their sleep to be interrupted by chronic pain.

5-HTP is a natural supplement and contains tryptophan – yes, that famous chemical found in turkey that makes everyone so drowsy on Thanksgiving! This natural supplement can aid in bringing about restful sleep.
