Does anyone know of any good sleeping pills? The more natural the better.?

Question

I have not been able to sleep lately. I eat right and work out daily and I really don't want to take anything that's not natural but I don't know what else will help other than visiting a Dr. Any suggestions?

Answer 2

Take a chelated calcium tablet that has vitamin D3 in it. Also take a magnesium tablet ~ as they work together ~ together with the calcium a half hour before bed time♥ Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) and Vitamin B3 (Niacin) work together to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is essential for restful REM sleep, so take a multi B complex supplement that includes all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12. Have a soothing cup of organic loose leaf chamomile tea ~ this could be the sleep remedy you need too♥ For more difficult insomnia, try 1mg of melatonin sublingually (dissolved under the tongue) 15 minutes before bedtime♥any good health food store will be able to provide you with all these things♥ Sweet dreams♥

Answer 3

Try taking melatonin at night. That's an herbal supplement that can help you sleep. I usually take it with extra calcium as that's supposed to help too. You can also take valarian root which can come in a capsule form. That one is significantly stronger.

There is also an OTC product on the market by Tylenol called Simply Sleep. It's used just as a sleep aid and not a pain killer like all the other products are. I don't think it's natural, but at least you wouldn't have to get a prescription.

I too suffered from insomnia for 2 years and the frustration of it made me miserable. A friend recommended Himilayan Goji Juice, the only functional juice on the market with medical validation.....you can check the 72 clinical studies at pubmed.org under the name Lycium Barbarum. After 2 days of drinking this juice I started having restful sleeps and have been sleeping through the night ever since! It is an adaptogen which works on auto-immune deficiencies....It has changed my life and it is all from a little red berry found in Tibet!!!

Answer 5

I used to obsess if I didn't get at least 8 hrs a night, I took anything and everything there is to take an usually ended up feeling more tired. Finally I came to the conclusion that the most natural thing is to allow my body to sleep and wake-up when it want's to, and it has regulated itsself to 5-6 hrs a night, but I feel better now than when I tried to force myself to sleep more..oddly I noticed that the more active I became the less sleep I needed.

Answer 6

Use lavendar.
Take a bath using either epsom salts or sweet almond oil and a few drops of lavedar essential oil.
Put some dried lavendar flowers in your pillow.
Or use a diffuser with lavendar.
Drink chamomile tea while you're in your lavendar bath.
Pray, meditate.
Pills are not natural.

Answer 7

melatonin is used for older people who do not produce the chemical as well anymore. Excedrin PM is great and non-habit forming. I use the aspirin version.

Do not drink alcohol.
Do not look at tv or computer screens before bedtime.
Hot tea has flavors for bed time and a little milk in it really puts me out.
