How to treat insomnia at home

Home page >> Doctors >> Dr.Ramon B. Gustilo

Professor Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo: "Insomnia or not getting enough sleep will definitely increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and directly harm brain function. Using sleeping pills only prolongs the condition and makes it more dangerous."

Insomnia, also known as sleep disorder, is an increasingly common problem that can seriously affect health if it persists. When we are unable to get quality sleep, both the body and mind are profoundly affected. If this condition continues, it can lead to serious consequences such as increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders and diabetes, impaired brain function, weakened immune system, and even muscle atrophy and loss of consciousness.

- According to a report from the Philippine Department of Health, for every 10 people, 7 suffer from insomnia, and 80% of those affected will develop chronic insomnia along with associated conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. The majority of those affected are over the age of 35, which indicates an alarming situation as the prevalence of the condition is very high, partly due to the public's continued disregard for common bouts of sleeplessness.

- We were fortunate to meet and have an interview with Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo about chronic insomnia while he was teaching at St. Luke's Medical Center.

- Reporter:

Doctor, as a physician with 40 years of experience in the neurology department and a professor researching insomnia, what do you think is the reason for the high rate of insomnia in the Philippines? 

 " Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo shares profound insights into the causes and dangers of insomnia, along with methods to help individuals over 35 with chronic insomnia sleep soundly for 7-8 hours each night without worrying about difficulty falling asleep or sleep disorders"

Dr. Gustilo shares during a lecture at St. Luke's Medical Center *

  • Impact of Natural Disasters: The unique geographical location of the Philippines significantly contributes to chronic insomnia. As a country frequently affected by natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, Filipinos not only suffer from the direct damages but also endure prolonged stress and insecurity.
  • High Proportion of Older Adults: Older adults are particularly vulnerable to chronic insomnia, which deeply worries me. After the age of 35, the human body undergoes numerous physiological, psychological, and social changes that can negatively affect sleep quality.
  • Economic Pressure: With poverty rates still high, many Filipinos work long hours or hold multiple jobs to make ends meet. These workers often face financial worries, concerns about food security, and providing education for their children, making it difficult for their minds to relax enough for quality sleep.
  • Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits: Excessive use of electronic devices at night, overconsumption of coffee or caffeine-laden drinks, and other unhealthy practices are also common contributors.
  • Lack of Awareness About the Importance of Sleep: Many people do not view sleep as an essential part of their overall health, leading them to ignore the signs of chronic insomnia or delay seeking proper treatment.
  • Improper Treatment Methods: Even today, many doctors and pharmacies simply recommend sleeping pills or temporary measures such as drinking tea or practicing yoga. While these may provide short-term relief, they ultimately prolong the condition and increase costs for the patient.

I feel truly saddened and concerned to learn that the Philippines has the second-highest rate of chronic insomnia in the world, second only to China.
Here are some observable contributing factors:

- Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo:

- Reporter:

Those are the general objective reasons for everyone, but what about the individual symptoms each person experiences when suffering from the condition?

- Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo:

Since each person has a different body and underlying health conditions
please check the following symptoms yourself:

  • Difficulty falling asleep: Having trouble starting to sleep or taking a long time to fall asleep.
  • Waking up during the night: Waking up multiple times during the night and being unable to return to sleep.
  • Waking up too early: Getting up too early and unable to go back to sleep.
  • Shallow sleep: Experiencing light sleep, easily awakened by noise or light.
  • Feeling tired: Feeling fatigued and exhausted in the morning despite getting enough sleep.
  • Mood changes: Feeling easily irritable, anxious, or depressed.
  • Reduced concentration: Having difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions.
  • Daytime drowsiness: Experiencing feelings of drowsiness or lethargy during the day, affecting daily activities.
  • Headaches: Frequently experiencing headaches, especially in the morning.
  • Digestive issues: Experiencing symptoms such as indigestion or stomach discomfort due to stress and anxiety.
  • Arrhythmia: May feel like the heart is beating fast or irregularly.

If you have 2 of the symptoms I mentioned above, you are 100% likely to have chronic insomnia. Don’t be complacent, insomnia is much more dangerous than you think. Find a way to treat it as soon as possible.

Really? If that's the case, then I must have chronic insomnia as well. I find it very difficult to fall asleep at night, and when I do manage to sleep, I wake up very early and can't fall back asleep. It leaves me feeling tired and irritable.

- Reporter:

- Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo:

That's right, have you used any methods to treat your insomnia?

I went to a small pharmacy near my house, and the pharmacist told me that insomnia isn't dangerous and gave me a bottle of sleeping pills called "Unisom." I’m still using it daily.

- Reporter:

- Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo:

"The salesperson is just trying to take your money without considering the consequences. Sleeping pills will only make your insomnia worse. As a doctor, I lived with insomnia for a year, and it drained my health and finances, even affecting my ability to concentrate and practice medicine. If you think insomnia isn't dangerous, think again – it can lead to serious conditions like heart disease, memory loss, and even stroke.
Believe me on this: stop using sleeping pills. Instead, try the new non-drug method recommended by the Department of Health. This treatment method offers high GABA content, which helps calm the stress and anxiety in the central nervous system, allowing you to achieve deep, restful sleep naturally."

The doctor means that I should go to the hospital for a check-up, right? I don't have enough money to afford the services there.

- Reporter:

Of course not. You don’t need to go to the hospital once you know what your condition is. In fact, I recommend not buying medication at the hospital because there is a new, more cost-effective method that is easy to use and highly effective, which Dr. Eric Tayag shared on TV last month.

- Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo:

Dr. Eric Tayag shares on TV:

"Most people suffering from chronic insomnia often face a deficiency of GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), an essential component in supporting sleep. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays a role in reducing stress and anxiety by calming the central nervous system. When GABA levels in the body are low, individuals tend to feel anxious and find it difficult to relax, leading to insomnia. Currently, the only natural way to boost GABA levels is through the nutritional supplement SLEEPAL GOLD, recently introduced by the DOH"

sleepal open sale meeting early november *

It’s SLEEPAL GOLD, right? I’ve heard this product is from the U.S., but I don’t understand why it’s not a medication yet works so effectively.

- Reporter:

100% natural ingredients: Sleepal gold contains GABA, Nattokinase, MCT, Citicoline, Whey protein, Isomalt, Maltodextrin, Soluble Fiber (FOS), Choline, Beta-glucan, Taurine, Lysine. Vitamins and antioxidants help promote sleep naturally without causing side effects

The most important ingredient is Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), which has the effect of preventing the transmission of stress and anxiety to the central nervous system. Discovered by scientists in 1950 as an indispensable part of the central nervous system in the human brain.

As people age, the natural aging process leads to a decrease in GABA production, affecting brain function and sleep. Continuous stress and anxiety inhibits GABA production. Malnutrition: A diet lacking in nutrients needed to produce GABA, such as vitamin B6, can reduce GABA levels in the body.

When there is a GABA deficiency, the body often experiences fatigue, insomnia, stress, depression, mood swings... increasing the risk of stroke


Dr. Ramon B. Gustilo has explained the ingredients and benefits of this milk.

SLEEPAL GOLD Colostrum is produced on a US technological line with a special formula, complying with GMP and FDA standards, ensuring the highest nutritional content, supporting comprehensive health and improving sleep quality. The product is FDA certified as safe and can be used for many people of different ages. SLEEPAL GOLD Colostrum has an easy-to-drink flavor, helping users easily integrate into their daily routine without feeling uncomfortable.

Rapid effectiveness in the first week of use helps users easily feel sleepy and have a deeper sleep.

Now GABA is available in the special preparation SLEEPAL GOLD.
When you use Sleepal Gold before going to bed, GABA will quickly penetrate into the bloodstream and attach to a protein in the brain called the GABA receptor, which will create a calming effect on the nervous system, helping to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress, and quickly fall asleep. GABA also prevents seizures and brain damage, and prevents movement disorders, a common symptom in Parkinson's patients. Gaba also helps relieve pain in chronic diseases such as spinal degeneration... Therefore, if you are suffering from chronic diseases such as bone and joint pain, you can also sleep well after drinking a glass of Sleepal Gold Colostrum. In addition to the nervous system, GABA also promotes insulin production in the pancreas. Sebaceous cells secrete GABA along with insulin and will fight diabetes.

According to statistics: the rate of elderly people having a stroke while sleeping is higher than 80%, especially those over 65 years old. This is an age group that is susceptible to blood vessel damage and has a poorer brain circulation regulation mechanism than normal. Strokes while sleeping often occur due to factors such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular problems. Therefore, supplementing Nattokinase before bed is essential for a good night's sleep and waking up feeling refreshed the next morning. The Japanese have long known how to supplement Nattokinase to increase longevity. And today we see great results when the Japanese have held the record for longevity for many years. The average life expectancy of Japanese people is very high. And living to 100 years old is very normal for Japanese people.

The next important ingredient is Nattokinase (fermented soybeans), an enzyme originating from Japan. The benefits of Nattokinase are enormous. It helps improve cardiovascular health, dissolves blood clots, and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks.

Brain function: Taurine supports the development and maintenance of the central nervous system.
Cardiovascular function: Taurine has a protective effect on the heart, helping to improve the function of the heart muscle and regulate the heart rate.
Metabolism: Taurine participates in metabolic processes, helps regulate blood sugar and supports liver function.
Immune system: Taurine plays an important role in supporting the immune system, helping to fight pathogens and protect cells from damage.

The ingredients in Sleepal Gold Colostrum include Taurine, an important amino acid that plays an essential role in the human body.

FDA requires clinical data on 1,000 insomnia patients. Many thanks to UP-PGH for supporting and showing positive numbers.

The most important step for insomnia treatment to reach all patients across the country goes smoothly.

There are 3 things you need to know before using SLEEPAL GOLD

1.Treatment regimen for each specific condition.
- As recommended by the DOH, individuals over 37 years old suffering from chronic insomnia and related conditions such as diabetes, joint pain, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure should follow a treatment plan of 3 to 5 cans, taking 2 servings per day. For those with chronic insomnia lasting over 4 months accompanied by fatigue, a regimen of 5 to 10 cans is advised. Strict adherence to the prescribed treatment plan will ensure the best results.

 2. SLEEPAL GOLD is not sold in pharmacies.
- Sleepal can effectively cure insomnia after just one suitable course of treatment. Additionally, using 3-5 cans can improve overall health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, obesity, headaches, memory loss, and diabetes. This means people will no longer need sleeping pills or related medications. As a result, pharmacies and sellers who profit from these medications will be directly impacted, as they will lose sales—something no private pharmacy would want.

3. SLEEPAL GOLD is produced in very limited quantities and must be pre-ordered.
- Partly because the product contains a high concentration of GABA and other rare ingredients, combined with Europe’s strict production standards, the quantity produced is limited. The primary reason you need to register to place an order is to prevent fraudsters and resellers from exploiting the product and selling it at inflated prices.

Research results during treatment with SLEEPAL GOLD on 3000 people with insomnia

  •  99% of users overcame insomnia.
  • 98% were able to fall into a deep sleep.
  • 90% saw reductions in blood sugar and blood pressure levels, returning to normal.
  • 93% experienced relief from joint and headache-related pain.
  • 91% improved cardiovascular function and reduced memory loss.
  • 100% reported an overall improvement in their health after using the product.

In response to the "Sleep for Health" campaign, the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) has collaborated with St. Luke's Medical Center to reduce the price of the product. This partnership aims to make the product more accessible, particularly for those in difficult financial situations, thereby improving their quality of life. This effort reflects the belief that everyone deserves the benefits of a good night's sleep.

In 2019, I often had insomnia without knowing the reason. I just guessed it was because my driving job made me drink a lot of energy drinks. My only solution at that time was to quit energy drinks but I still couldn't sleep. But recently I learned about sleepal gold, I can sleep and no longer have to be tired every day due to lack of sleep. I was really surprised with its great effects. My health is much better and my spirit is always at ease, helping me drive more effectively

I really like this colostrum, very fragrant and easy to drink. Luckily there was a promotion so the delivery was fast. I used sleepal gold twice in the evening and noon with immediate results. Especially when I drink this milk, I no longer have lower back pain, and nocturia disappears within the first week! Insomnia disappeared after about 3 weeks.
 Now I can sleep better and eat better. After 2 months, I used all 10 boxes and the disease was completely cured without having to sleep every night anymore. This is really a great solution for people with insomnia like me.

I never thought my insomnia could be cured. But after using 10 boxes of sleepal gold, my insomnia was completely cured. The first night I took sleepal gold, I didn't think it would be so easy to fall asleep! My wife also uses it with me and she even recommends it to her friends, a product God gave us. Thanks God!
Marco Matias
I am 54 years old and suffered from insomnia 2 years ago. When I went to the hospital, I felt better because I was given medicine, but when I stopped taking the medicine, I lost sleep again. Then the doctor advised me to use Sleepal gold. After 1 month of treatment, my sleep condition has improved a lot. I have diabetes so my blood sugar index is maintained at 5.6 - 5.8. The feeling of sleeping 8 hours a night is very refreshing. I now stop taking hospital-issued medicine! Thank you Sleepal gold

I have had insomnia since 2015 and have no way of getting back to sleep. Having to take sleeping pills to help me fall asleep makes me always tired and stressed, and my insomnia seems to be getting worse. Staying up too much at night causes me to have gastritis, kidney stones, high blood pressure, and especially fatigue, which makes me feel hopeless! But when I learned about sleepal gold, my life completely changed. I no longer need to take sleeping pills regularly and my insomnia completely disappeared. Thanks God! Thank you sleepal gold and pgh doctors

I really thank Dr. Marvin L. Tadlas recommended Sleepal gold to me. I have suffered from chronic insomnia for more than 10 years and have taken many medications but still can't get better. Every night is so long for me and I don't know when I will find sleep again! But the Drs. Marvin L. Tadlas advised me to switch to sleepal gold. After 1 month of treatment, I was able to sleep 5 hours a night, but the doctor still advised me to take about 3 months for the disease to completely heal. Currently, I feel like my sleep has stabilized. Thank you sleepal gold for helping me get rid of insomnia for many years
