| Insomnia and Sleep Disorders |
Chronic
sleep problems can seriously disrupt a person's life,  taking
a heavy toll in both in personal and professional relationships. And
although sleep disorders can be debilitating in and of themselves--over
time they can spur additional health problems by weakening the immune
system and decreasing natural resistance to infection, depression,
cell breakdown, and disease.
The National Institute on Aging has estimated that over 80% of the aged population experience some type of sleep problem at one time or another--with insomnia regularly striking one-fourth of this population.1 Besides insomnia, sleep disorders can also take specific forms such as late-phase sleep syndrome, restless legs syndrome, and jet lag.

Sleep Disorders and Adrenal Hormones: High levels of cortisol are associated with stress, restlessness, and the inability to sleep deeply throughout the night. Sleep Disorders and Amino Acids: The right balance of amino acids can improve the quality of sleep and decrease the time it takes to fall asleep at night.
