Massage can be based on mechanical manipulation of body tissues and joints (western classical or medical massage) or massage can be based on touch Sleep is the state of natural rest observed in humans and throughout the animal kingdom, in all mammals and birds, and in many reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In humans, other mammals, and many other animals that have been studied — such as fish, birds, ants, and fruit-flies — regular sleep is necessary for survival. The capability for arousal from sleep is a protective mechanism and also necessary for health and survival.
Everyone has a different optimal sleep amount. Some find that more than 6 hours makes them drowsy and tired, whilst others can't operate properly with less than 8 hours. The National Sleep Foundation maintains that eight to nine hours of sleep for adult humans is optimal and that sufficient sleep benefits alertness, memory, problem solving and overall health, as well as reducing the risk of accidents. A widely publicized 2003 study performed at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine demonstrated that cognitive performance declines with fewer than eight hours of sleep.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by an inability to sleep and/or inability to remain asleep for a reasonable period. Insomniacs typically complain of being unable to close their eyes or "rest their mind" for more than a few minutes at a time. It can be caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression, or bipolar disorder and sometimes occurs for no apparent reason. An overactive mind or physical pain may also be causes. Poor sleep quality can occur as a result of depression. The more relaxed a person is, the greater the likelihood of getting a good night's sleep. Relaxation techniques such asmeditation have been shown to help people sleep. Such techniques can lower stress levels from both the mind and body, which leads to a deeper, more restful sleep. Aromatherapy oils and massage techniques are now being used increasingly to help with sleep problems as well as relaxation.
Lavender is perhaps best known for its association with sleep and is reputed to aid insomnia or sleep related disorder caused by tension or stress. It is can also help with shock related conditions.
